GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap/Free Agency Frenzy GDT

[pistolpete11]

Pettersson will be our 2nd pair Ld, idk why people are acting like we need some 6 million dollar top4 dman. They aren’t gunna pay the guy almost 4mil to play on the 3rd pair.

I'm high on Petts, but he also has 1 NHL season under his belt. It's a lot to ask of him to step into a top 4 role on a team that is presumably trying to win the Cup. Plus, if they can afford it, why wouldn't you want better defensemen?

If they signed Gardiner or someone like that, and Petts shows he's ready for a top 4 role down the line, then trade Gardiner. JR just can't give him a restrictive NTC.

Who is that one guy the Calgary Flames use to have..Was a real good defensemen I think.

Lehner

Oops too soon?

Al MacInnis

 

[Pens x]

Not having a respectable farm system that can actually produce NHL players causes you to sign a bottom six forward to a 6 year deal.

Joe Nieuwendyk or Mike Vernon?

 

[Jobeycool]

Al MacInnis

I know him.....but it does sound right

Good thing we had Kahun, Simon, ZAR, and Rust who all likely would have been bottom sixers at points and are all 20ish pt guys.

 

[Kasperi kapanen]

Well, to start, they're not going to pay him almost 4 mil period.

There was just a report that the pens intend on signing him long term for around 3-4 million per.

 

[Jobeycool]

I don’t who I’m thinking of....Maybe it was Guy Lafleur But He surely was no defensemen........Way way back.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

It's Lanny McDonald. Good defenseman. Great sideburns, good defenseman.

Lanny's stache was/is epic

 

[Jobeycool]

It was like spelled rhyeider or something weird like that.

 

[Jobeycool]

Maybe He got traded to the Dallas Stars.

What 'stache? Oh, you're thinking of Theo Fleury. Tall goaltender, a real star until he got addicted to video games.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Maybe He got traded to the Dallas Stars.

Ahhhh... Sergei Zubov. One of the worst decisions Mario ever made.

Wait... what are we talking about, again?

 

[Nakawick]

Anyway...

Should a line of Tanev - McCann - Rust ever materialize, it might be the fastest in the league.

 

[Chili Goal]

Rust is most likely gone.

It wouldn't make much sense to invest that contract into Tanev and keep Rust. My guess is they package Rust and Johnson for a defenseman. Perhaps they're working on a package for Zucker, in that case, you can assume a 1st round pick or prospect will be included.

while it'd be great to add Zucker, this team, with this defense, in this division absolutely should not be parting with a '20 1st. I know you're not advocating for that, but the odds we don't make the playoff next year are pretty close to 50%.

Guentzel - Crosby - Kahun
Galynchuk - Malkin - Bjugstad
Tanev - McCann - Rust
Simon - TB - Horny

One does not belong....

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I read his book “Into The Storm” about his battle with Fortnite addiction..

Powerful, depressing shit.

Well it's going to be Rust or Bjugstad.

There might be a chance they just use either as incentive for a team to take on Johnson's contract, similar to what they did with Sheary and Hunwick.

 

[Jobeycool]

Joe Nieuwendyk or Mike Vernon?

No

 

[Jobeycool]

Robyn Regehr

Bingo

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Robyn Regehr

I frequently combine him with Giordano in my memory
