Salary Cap: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread: GMJR is a (REDACTED)

[mpp9]

I get this feeling they’re gonna ask horny to waive his clause for a team he’d like to play for and we take what we can get.

its not a massive shakeup, but moving on from Schultz, Bjug, Murray, Sheary, Marleau and whoever else he needs to, then adding Kapanen, a FA 3C(unless mccaan is it)or D and allowing Poulin, POJ, etc the chance to play, is still significant, IMO.

Bjug has not been a regular. Sheary and Marleau were additions late in the season. So pretty much jettisoning a crap Schultz and adding Kap.

That's painting around the edges if I've ever seen it. Maybe it works out. But I doubt it.

 

[SomeDude]

Over the past 6 years, Malkin has missed 3 more games than Stamkos (90/87).

You forgot playoff games.

 

[Jobeycool]

Depending what Pietrangelo makes maybe we can get Krug...

 

[66-30-33]

If Pietrangelo goes to Leafs (doubt it...what cap space?) maybe we can get Hyman on the cheap.

Have to move Hornqvist sadly

He's probably gone anyway.

We already have too many left d, as well as too many lefties on the power play. I don't think adding him makes sense

I like to find any excuse to try to get rid of Jack Johnson I can come up with lol.....

 

[mpp9]

lol. Leafs are going to sign him to a ridiculous contract.

Or he's going to NYR.

I'd like to see the Leafs mangle their depth to try lol.

I dunno. AP situation seems like he signs with a good team on a fairish deal by free agency standards. If he had any interest in signing there we'd have heard a number his camp wants. Then again, we could wake up one day in October and read he's the highest paid D in the league.

 

[66-30-33]

He will go to Avalanche. E. Johnson will go somewhere.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I would never trade Malkin, but what if TB wanted to trade Stamkos for Malkin straight up. If TB wanted a shakeup and if Malkin wanted to play in Florida and he would have fellow Russian Kucherov. Stamkos has 1M less cap hit but is signed 2 years longer.

I think TB needs to shed salary too though. Is the value way off?

Stamkos is one of the most overrated players in the league. He’s a ghost 5 on 5. The guy is a phenomenal power play player. I said what I said.

And gets injured a lot.

 

[dogthateats]

Yeah, but our GM is a crazy geriatric f***

 

[Speaking Moistly]

You forgot playoff games.

I’ll do it. Over the last 6 years Stamkos has missed 35 playoff games (and counting) and they didn’t qualify one year where he missed most of the season and I’m going to guess he wouldn’t have played in the playoffs. Malkin has missed 4. f***ing Letang has missed 30 games to injury and 1 to suspension in that time. Malkin is injury prone but Stamkos is more concerning and I’d doubt his availability more. He destroyed his leg, had a blood clot, tore his meniscus, had core surgery and now has some lingering issues there?

There's plenty of reasons not to like a player. I do not think that's a legit reason. Krug has been dynamite on the PP for years now. That said I don't think we're getting someone like him - at least not unless JR can make some interesting moves to open up cap space.

We did them a solid already with Kapanen.

Glad you're back. Where the hell were you? I thought Peat chopped you up or something.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I wish JR would use up all his cap space via RFA signings and trades prior to the start of UFA season otherwise I fear what he'll spend it on.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Yeah, if McCann and Horny are gonna be on the same line, you need a playmaker who can really dish the puck (regardless of where McCann slots in).



And ours isn't?

Whats Jumbo Joe up to?

I've been saying it in the NHL thread all playoffs mate. I'm with ya.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Seasoning his bbq meat with his salty tears for never winning a cup.

Sharks are stupid to keep giving him a contract. Imagine letting loyalty blind you from your ultimate goal. Hey let's pay an over the hill wanker way too much instead of using that cap better.

 

[Riptide]

Work has been nuts. Unfortunately I do not see that changing any time soon. And for Peat to chop me up he'd have to find me... The only reason I'm around right now is I'm stuck in some ****hole community with internet so slow even replying takes time to load the page (think something slightly faster then dialup) and do not have cell service. And lucky me I'll be here for at least another few weeks. On the flip side... lots of overtime.

Well, I'm glad to see you back even if things are tedious with the internet. Sincerely glad Peat didn't find you. lol

 

[hoyster]

Don't know if this has been talked about, but what are you all feeling about Mikko Koivu as 3C?

We're not going to have much anyway
