Salary Cap: Pittsburgh Penguins Salary Cap Thread: Where we talk about former posters

[Gurglesons]

Domi sucks. JR would have tried to get him tho’

 

[TimmyD]

I wouldn't mind Petts/Dumo for Domi swap. Then when fully healthy run

Jake Sid Zucker
Domi Malkin Rust
Tanev Blueger Kappy
ZAR McCann Lafferty

Jake Sid Zucker
Domi Malkin Rust
Tanev Blueger Kappy
ZAR McCann Lafferty

Either one of those defensemen would help more than Domi for a run.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I think I like Dumo for Domi. Domi can play wing or C. He’s fast. Although he is a jerk—I’m remembering that time he punched a not game to fight Ekblad.

 

[66-30-33]

Domi moves around a lot, seems to sour on coaches pretty quickly...wont be any different here.

 

[The Old Master]

If we exposed Zucker he’d be taken. You think they’d take McCann, Tanev or Matheson over him?

with out knowing the extent of his injuries? i could see them passing on him.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Want no part of Domi.

Wanted no part of Perron or Pearson, either.

That probably means the trade call is pending.

 

[ownal]

I'd like to See:

Dumo for Domi
McCann for Lowry,2nd
2nd for Bennett

Domi - Crosby - Rust
Guentzel - Malkin - Kap
Lowry - Tb - Zar
Bennett - ERod - Tanev

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Mainboards suggested a Dumo for Domi swap. Not opposed. Wonder if a Zucker for Domi swap helps us more?

It does not, the second one I mean.

But Domi for Dumoulin I'd be down for.

 

[Peat]

Crosby
Malkin
Jake
Kappy
Rust
Bleuger
?

Who are we protecting over Zucker?

Today? Nobody.

If in his absence McCann or ZAR (lol) nails down a LW spot with Geno, or we trade for a guy with terms who takes off there - then that guy.

I like where your head is at but that means Bennett and Lowry are exposed for the ED.

I'm thinking that that 1:1 swaps are the better route.

 

[Peat]

I'm not feeling Domi. If he's gonna play W, he's gonna exasperate the Cs by hogging the centre of the ice. Maybe it'll work but it feels a little high risk to me. If he's gonna play C, he's not needed.

I'm thinking that that 1:1 swaps are the better route.

Way I see it - if we bring in a player who's Tanev level or worse for a fair price, I don't mind losing them in the expansion draft, as you're basically paying that price for a rental and protecting Tanev, which is fine by me.

I start complaining about the ED if we're getting a guy at Zucker's quality for a fair price.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I don't like any lineup with ERod in it.

Here's the thing about that guy- he only got a chance because of the chemistry he developed with Jack Eichel at Boston University.

He's a part of a failed experiment Buffalo's senior management. After landing Jack Eichel, they tried to surround him with the players he had the most chemistry with in college. Both ERod and Cason Hohmann went undrafted, so grabbing them was easy. Then they acquired Danny O'Ragan from San Jose in the Evander Kane deal. The experiment only worked with ERod, and it was only to a small extent for a brief period of time. Overall, it just didn't work, and none of ERod, Hohmann, or O'Regan belong in the NHL.

 

[Turin]

Lol Dumoulin for Domi does not help this team.

 

[MayorofWBS]

I'd like to See:

Dumo for Domi
McCann for Lowry,2nd
2nd for Bennett

Domi - Crosby - Rust
Guentzel - Malkin - Kap
Lowry - Tb - Zar
Bennett - ERod - Tanev

There is no way McCann pulls Lowry and a 2nd. McCann is way overvalued here. Bennett for a 2nd is fair but somehow I don't think the Flames bite on that.

 

[Pens1566]

If we deal one of Dumo/MP, what does that do to our protected list for the draft? Marino and POJ are exempt IIRC.

 

[66-30-33]

If we deal one of Dumo/MP, what does that do to our protected list for the draft? Marino and POJ are exempt IIRC.

Isnt it 8F and 2D or 7F and 3D?

So Letang/MP or Dumo plus 8F. Seattle wont waste their pick and grab Matheson so take the extra forward.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Not a fan of Domi, saw him play in Montreal for a couple of years
Won't bring much to be honest, pass for me

 

[SEALBound]

I think we have a clear hole at 2LW. I have a hard time seeing us as a cup contender with ZAR flanking Geno but I could be wrong.

I think we have a gluttony of dmen, several of which can replace Dumoulin relatively well.

We can argue if Domi is the right swap or not but I think that's a smaller convo inside the "do we need a 2LW" to which I say yes.

They say he’s really good analytically.

Domi can’t even crack the top 9 in Columbus, so I have a hard time believing he would be a sufficient replacement to Zucker.

I agree trading a defenseman for a winger makes sense if Zucker is out for the year, just not for a guy like Domi.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I think ideally, you’d trade a D for a young C with top 6 upside, tbh. Hopefully the could play LW if they need it but I think the centre part is important. No to Domi either way.

 

[EXTRAS]

You guys think jarry and desmith split the back to back games this weekend?

 

[Peat]

Isnt it 8F and 2D or 7F and 3D?

So Letang/MP or Dumo plus 8F. Seattle wont waste their pick and grab Matheson so take the extra forward.

7F and 3D, or 8 skaters total.

That's fair and I agree. That's why if we make a big trade, I'd rather it be 1:1. Like Zucker for Mantha or something. Something where it doesn't change the ED protection schedule. A dman for a forward indeed does that, but I think I've been weighing doing that then sending Zucker out for some bottom 6 help. Ideally for an exempt young center or a UFA and draft pick.

Domi can’t even crack the top 9 in Columbus, so I have a hard time believing he would be a sufficient replacement to Zucker.

I agree trading a defenseman for a winger makes sense if Zucker is out for the year, just not for a guy like Domi.

PLD had issues, Laine is having issues, Domi is having issues. About the only thing consistent is the team...and the coach.

I know why Domi is not in the top 9 and it has nothing to do with his play.

I think ideally, you’d trade a D for a young C with top 6 upside, tbh. Hopefully the could play LW if they need it but I think the centre part is important. No to Domi either way.

That would be the ideal situation yes. Whether or not that is Domi, who knows. But a Domi or Drouin level player would be great to have at the moment at the cost of a dman we can afford to move.

You guys think jarry and desmith split the back to back games this weekend?

I imagine they look to get CDS a game at some point but I think Jarry is finally coming out of his funk and I think they will continue to nurture that.
