Salary Cap: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread - Jack Johnson stars in 48

[Speaking Moistly]

I don't think they can actually do that, at least to open the year. They're not cap compliant with Marino on the roster and they're 10 D deep before putting Trotman on LTIR. I'm not sure what impact Trotman has here, him being hurt complicates things.

I think the Penguins have 3 options:

1. Keep Marino in the AHL, have Ruhwedel as an extra D and be cap compliant
2. Send Marino to the AHL until rosters get finalized, put Rust on LTIR, get rid of Ruhwedel and call cup Marino with Rust's LTIR space.
3. Trade Johnson and you don't worry about the salary cap.

Once desmith is done and Rust and Trotman go on LTIR they can. They might finagle things at the beginning but for opening night they'll be fine. 12F, 9D and 2G with LTIR handling the cap. It's not ideal and if a forward can't go they can't do it, but they could make it work. It won't last and I suspect JR will be working on a trade but it buys them time.

Before I agree or disagree....do you consider Krispy Kreme fast food?

Also, our personal states of health, being, and self-worth often persuade our opinion on things. I'm sure I've called certain foods amazing before (such as a Krystal's/White Castle sack full) - which truly were NOT amazing - but at the time, well.....

Relax, Aristotle.

Man, it's almost hockey season and Yohe had to get one last "the off-season is miserable" shot in.

Here's to hoping that dumb-dumb was right in the end.

* Montreal-style bagels

I would love to try one. It is on my bucket list.

Rust out "fairly long term". Good grief, can we wrap him in pillows and bubble wrap when he comes back?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Because it's 10:49am on a mother f***ing Tuesday, and we're all waiting for something JJ related, I'll post that to kick the hive.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Geez, Rust. Eat more eggs, bub.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

If JJ was a breakfast joint - who would he be?

The one that was okay before it burned down and was never the same after reopening.

[molon labe]

Relax, Aristotle.

I'll relax when JJ is off the team.

 

[Empoleon8771]

So from what I've found on twitter, JR said that Crosby will play tomorrow and Rust is out long term. That's not surprising. JR also said that "DeSmith is the perfect #2 goalie, but Jarry has higher upside".

They're good but not bagel-life changing.

I really hope that means no longer than his usual 6-8 weeks and not Schultz territory from last year...Rust is already frustrating the fanbase...

Imagine a diner but all of the food tastes like nothing. That's basically Eat 'n Park. Everything is just so average, nothing actually tastes good there outside of their lava cakes.

I don't live near Pitt, but I've seen Eat N Park.

But now that I know that have lava cakes I might just make the 4 hr trip just for that. Dominoes' lava cakes are pretty freakin good, although how hard is it to eff those up?

Big fan of lox. Give it a try sometime if you already haven't. I'm lucky enough to have a smoker to do the salmon, myself.

If it's a broken wrist/hand it's probably 6-8 weeks.

I also feel like this furthers the idea that Rust is super injury prone.

I would like to visit Montreal and eat different bagels and poutine the whole time.

Here is what I don't get, and I'll be more than happy to listen to detailed explanations.

Nearly the entire offseason threads have revolved around "JJ is bad" conversations. Ok. To what degree though, I think that is up for at least a little debate.

But if I remember correctly, we were swept out of the playoffs by a less talented Isles team in a series where we averaged scoring less than a goal per game. That's a fact, and none of that is up for debate. And yet day after day, week after week the only thing that this board can focus their ire on is JJ?

I don't get it, logically it doesn't add up. To me the focus should be on how we got to the point of being swept by the Isles in such an embarrassing manner and has that been addressed.

Back to your "jj is bad" convo, thank you for you time.

JR just called Yohe's article about JJ "shoddy journalism"

Shocker

Yeah Eat 'n Park sucks ass.

He pretty much eluded to the fact that, the only reason Jarry didn't get sent down because he knows he'd get claimed.

Shocker

To be honest, I feel like that's the kind of reply he has to give in that case, no? He can't say "it was true, we just couldn't trade JJ".

The actions of the team speak way louder than JR's denial.

 

[TNT87]

JR just said the Yohe rumor was shoddy journalism and there was no truth to it. Then again it's not like he would say it's true.

 

[dogthateats]

Big fan of lox. Give it a try sometime if you already haven't. I'm lucky enough to have a smoker to do the salmon, myself.

I am a big fan too also love capers. Nice, we smoked a salmon that I caught in NY and several steelhead trout. They turned out great although we didn’t eat them on bagels.

 

[SomeDude]

Meh, he really laid into him and said journalists have 24 hour access to him and he was never contacted or asked anything about JJ's status.

Just goes to show that nobody should listen to any of the local guys for info. It's only the big national guys that get the tips.

Oh man... lucky dog. Fresh steelhead, especially, is sooooooo good.

And Montreal smoked meat.
