Since the last one ended in a shit show, I'm going to post 1 warning and will immediately go to thread banning right away. I know it's slow, but this is the whole reason we just don't let insiders flow at will. Whether you know someone in the business or not, so much "Discussion" goes on that if you reported it all, you would look like a fool. We have a lot of insiders here that follow the rules. We will continue to follow that method.


I do not care who knows who or what... and there is no misrepresenting anything. If you do not know, you do not know. So if you create your own madness, don't blame the board. :laugh:

Here is the only warning -- IE does not have any rumors on JJ. Period. Let's move along and leave it go. If you want to discuss speculation, go for it. The Pens will be over the cap. It's obvious something has to happen.

There's something very wrong in that room when it comes to games that really matter.

My guess is that when your captain is ass every spring it doesn’t do wonders for team morale/performance.

But idk, I don’t play for them.

I love watching Barkov. If Panarin was on his line with say Dadonov, that would have been the most entertaining line in hockey for me.

Do you guys think ZAR signs before arbitration? My moneys on it going to arbitration.
IMO and this is just me posturing in my thoughts, but he probably wants at least a 2-3 year deal and that’s why he has not signed yet. JR is probably offering a 1 or 2 year at a low salary. And that’s that. I imagine with ZAR’s injuries he wants some form of security and due to injuries JR is hesitant. I’d love to see what ZAR could do through a full healthy season, he keeps showing signs he could become a middle six guy in the small things he does on the ice or at least a legit solid bottom six guy. But the dude just keeps getting hurt. Not sure what will happen with him, but probably gets a 1 year in the end and then moves on after this season.

I can see a 2 year 1.25 AAV being settled on.

Arbitration generally is just to move along the negotiating process and have a date to get it done by. Otherwise it could really drag out.

I'll be irritated if we sign him for more than 1 year

Why? He’s a good cheap bottom 6 player which we will certainly need next season (cap is crazy tight next off season). If he’s not the guy he’s easy to move.

Some guys just can't stand up to the physical abuse it takes for them to play the style that will succeed for them. I'm not sure yet if ZAR is one of those guys, but it's starting to look that way. I certainly wouldn't give him a multi-year deal until he proves he can play a rugged game and stay reasonably healthy.

I wouldn’t balk at a 2 year at league minimum. But a one year ever so slightly over league minimum would be ideal.

I just feel with the plethora of wingers they have he's redundant.
