Salary Cap: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread: Now less Horny. (GMJR is still a moron)

Eh. Worst case scenario Matheson is Justin Schultz of the past three years on a bloated contract.

Pretty much. And Matheson hasn't had his ankle blow out like Schultz. And we're not asking him to be our #3D like before Marino.

Stronger chance of success than many care to admit IMO.

It was less about Rask and more about JR needing to make two trades to basically replace Kessel. Giving up an extra 1st and Addison because of it. And whether Addison was a fit or not he was still a great asset. I get what you are saying tho. But I am just referring to the fact that we would have been much better off if Kessel accepted that trade.

Having Zucker over Galchenyuk to start the year is the x factor there. We could have then gone into the deadline while being in a better situation. Thats what I am talking about. Especially since Guentzel got hurt, and AG wasnt working...thats why we made the Kahun trade as well. We could have also avoided that. So it did make a pretty big impact on our roster...assets.

Kahun was gone this year regardless.

I think you’re really underestimating what Zucker + Rask would do to our cap situation.

Well you can enjoy your free yoghurt for 6 years if that turns out to be the case

You are forgetting that JJ was involved in that offer. So it doesnt make much of a difference.

Which btw everything else aside, getting rid of JJ as well? Yeah we would have been much better off if Kessel accepts that deal. Its not even a debate.

And Kahun as a RFA is still another asset. Thats been my point about these last years. We really missed out on capitalizing the most out of our assets thru trades. Who knows if that is the case if Kessel accepts that deal. But its been downhill since he didnt .

AG not working, having to give up a 1st, Addison to get the same player we would have already had(and AG in that trade so their cap hits canceled each other out for that year) . Trading Kahun for Sheary and Rodrigues doesnt happen since we have Rask at Center already for bottom 6. And then trading our 1st and Hallander to add Kapanen when we possibly dont do that. Maybe they just keep Kahun and sign him for that same price while still having our 15th overall and Hallander.

Anyway you look at it we are better off now and would have had a much better chance at winning it all this year

Rask is 750k more than JJ.

We possibly would’ve been better off, but JR would’ve made a move to fill out that D so I disagree.

Let's say we give away jack johnson.
What's are options or trade targets for an impact player or potential impact player for the 3C position

 

[vikingGoalie]
