Salary Cap: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread|2 Days - TDL "Center" of Attention - Part IV

Yeah, that’s a lot for a rental Savard...

Still positional need for them and probably the best one on the market.

Why did they need Detroit to get involved? Would Columbus not trade directly to Tampa? Lashoff and a 4th don't seem like additions to the overall deal that needed to happen.

I guess they had to pay for cap retention. I always thought Savard was a bitch to play against.

1st + 3rd + 4th for Savard doesn't feel like a buyers' market to me, even with all the cap retention.

He’s a rental though. That’s a shitload for a rental.

So Savard at just over 1.0.

The LeBrun tweet in this post explains it - Salary Cap: - Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread|2 Days - TDL "Center" of Attention - Part IV - basically extra retention.

Yeah, I agree.

To get the cap down eating 50% twice is why.

That retention is incredibly valuable. It let's them keep an Anthony Cirelli type player instead of having to downgrade elsewhere to make room for Savard.

What’s the latest on Kucherov?

Today I learned that Dom L's stats at The Athletic says that Savard is basically as valuable as Ruhwedel (also Gudas, Russell to pick some other easily recognisable names). I don't think his model likes defensive dmen, but even so, kinda crazy.

I guess a double's history and worth pursuing but other than that, feel like keeping the picks was more likely to lead to more cups in Tampa...

They won a cup with Bogosian and Schenn there so that’s an improvement lol
