Pens have what, 1.3m in cap space right now?
If they really wanted Haula or to keep Sheary, they’ll find a way. I still think Riikola is the odd man out, not sure why the hell they signed him if they were always insistent on adding a RHD. They made his whole thing about how Riikola can play RD and they have Chad Ruhwedel and if need be, Trotman is also available to them. But then they go and waste more cap space on Ceci and that’s after JR said the above. Not sure if Reirden or Sully said no we want another right handed bloke with experience or what, but it’s stupid.
I would rather they just traded Riikola to recoup that cap space and use it elsewhere. There’s no way they are going to keep 8 defensemen up on the big club, they likely won’t waive Ruhwedel to WBS, so one will go.
Ah well, why even bother, this roster is a bit of a mess.
