Salary Cap: Pens Salary and Signing thread: Dr StrangeDubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Karlsson Watch

[Ugene Magic]

How are they similar?

Dubas has said we are contending then went and iced the same exact type of roster we did to start last season only with a few new faces while continuously saying we are rebuilding the farm.

Wasn't there something about getting younger?

I really don't know anymore.

Are there turtles on the runway yet?

Hard to imagine Guentzel getting anywhere near 8 mil per on a long-term deal after Debrincat's contract.

Do you really want to let him test free agency?

Karlsson said he's always had a deep respect for Mario Lemieux and owes him so much that he'd play for the Pens for league minimum--so the hold up is actually finding enough teams to retain salary until it's down to $750k AAV.

This time its different because Kyle.

I am drunk though sorry

To clear room for EK65 in CapFriendly, I traded Petry w/ $1.25M retained to Nashville for Cole Smith. And then I re-signed Ty Smith. And signed Gemel Smith and CJ Smith.

This is why we can't trade DeSmith

Cut the guy a break, he's trying. EK is 2.5 years younger than Petry lol.

 

[BusinessGoose]

You know what universe, I don't even care if we get EK

Entertaining clip of some outsiders' perspective. Mostly talk about Dubas more than Karlsson.

Dangle and friends says KD worked heavily with just a handful of other teams, specifically Minnesota, St Louis, and Ottawa with a couple others.

Says Kyle loved Dumba, speculates it could be a backup plan. He loved Granlund also.

They looked at capfriendly to play with some buyouts, weren't overly impressed with our organizational situation.

The smart route was giving a better offer to Philly for DeAngelo and using all those millions in savings compared to EK's cap hit on improving other areas of the roster.
Watch TDA put up similar points to EK next year and be better defensively, at a 2.5M cap hit. All at the cost of a 7th rounder for Carolina. f*** me. That might be the best move in free agency. That or Duchene at 3M.

I wonder why a player with TDA's offensive potential was given away for free, and at 50% retained. Weird, we may never know.

Doesn't change the fact that they're gonna crush it on that deal, while almost everyone else spends way more for smaller gains.
The Hurricanes had 116 points the year he was there. Divisional banner. +76 GD.
Not really seeing the crippling effect of his personality on the room there

Well as long as the numbers look good, AB.

 

[Zbynek]

Jarry is our 1G forever. Nothing matters anymore. Just do whatever.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Sit the f*** down, zoomet.

Only boomers allowed

I love Steve Dangle and his podcast. He singlehandedly made the Leafs my second team.

That being said none of those guys know shit about the Pens and I think it's blatantly obvious. Surface level knowledge and cap friendly, that's it.

This place isn't much better than Facebook hockey comment sections anymore. You'd think there'd be more substance if you gathered a bunch of people that have seen thousands of games in the same place. Maybe it's just exhaustion at this point, with the team and the people here. A lot of IRL misery seeping into replies too.

Whatever's going on, there's like no fun left in it. I'll check back in during training camp where people are usually in a better frame of mind.

People not wanting Tony Deangelo was the final straw, eh?

Let's everybody calm down, and post our favorite numbers. Mine's 6, because it's so versatile. It's like owning a 6 AND a 9 at the same time!

But 7 ate 9, so now you’re just down to 6.

Cap goes up next year as well.

 

[PensandCaps]

TDA sucks anywhere except in Carolina.

 

[Rakell67]

TDA performs blumpkins on his teammates.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Nope. Wouldn't have to.

 

[Zbynek]

I dunno what's worse. The direction this thread is going, or the fact Tristan Jarry is our 1G for the next 5 years.

(Actually the answer is pretty clear to me)
