Waived: Rob Scuderi .... Waived

[kodoshin]

The Pens retained part of his salary right? Does this impact that somehow?

 

[IcedCapp]

The only moves that can impact the hit on Pittsburgh's cap are as follows:

1) Rob Scuderi retires

2) Chicago buys him out.

If either of those two things happens, then the Pens' commitment will be reduced, either to 0, and to some % of the million+ they retained.

hey as much as Shero loves him some Scuderi, maybe he'll pick him up off waivers?

Doutb he wants to leave free money on the table for next season but it would sure help if he would walk away and retire.

 

[plaidchuck]

Well he's a fool if he retires so that's not going to happen.

Dunno about a buyout either, they may just keep him as a reserve guy if they have some bottom pairing D injuries.

Or are the Hawks cap crunched again next season?

Comes down to whether he wants to ride a bus and play in a lesser league. He is done as an NHL player. Honestly, I'm not sure he is even an AHL player. I'm bettin he may retire if he is sent to the ECHL.

 

[plaidchuck]

I doubt it. He'll be sent down and a Pittsburgh sporta writer will make a puff piece about him mentoring in the minors.

I always wondered what these guys do when the nhl team city is pretty far from the minor one. Just rent out a place and come home during breaks?

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Depending on how long they end up staying I'm bettin they stay with another player on the team.

If they end up getting assurances from the team that they are here to stay for the rest of the season they may get a short term lease or even rent a hotel room for a few months. You can usually get a significant deal if you are renting for a month. Or again, just stay with another player(s).

Wait why couldn't we just do this?

Family and all. He was the sole reason we won the Cup in 09 so...

Shero is the Dominic Toretto of the NHL:

"I don't have players. I have family."

I don't think he could play in the A. At least not well.

It is similiar to the Nhl, just not same level, in that most everyone can skate very well. Dmen gotta be mobile and Scuds just isn't.

 

[Ogrezilla]

He cleared!

i live my life one no trade clause at a time

 

[Ogrezilla]

so if they send him to the minors, they would save like 800k in cap space right? We don't get any benefit from that?

950k in cap space, Pens seen none of this.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Apologies if this is a stupid question but Scuderi's movement clauses prevented the Penguins from sending him down (whether they would or not is another discussion) but these restrictions were removed once the trade was made. Is that accurate?

Elite comparison.

You break Adams' ironman streak, I break your neck.

you can have any drink you want.

As long as it's coffee.

With the coach.

First thing in the morning.

Behind the other players' backs

Nope, NMCs will follow a player if it's in his contract, unlike NTCs. So he either didn't have one or waived it in Chicago.

Now doesn't that just piss you off?

Ok last one or I won't work again today:

"Why'd you bring the Scuderi here?"

"That Scuderi kept me out of the hotseat!"

NO WORK

"Why don't you try WBS from now on? You can get yourself a solid defender for 600k."
"I like Scuderi here."
"******** *******, no one likes Scuderi here!"
"Yeah well I do"

 

[MtlPenFan]

I won't blame a player for his abilities eroding, but I will blame him for being an ******* and calling out teammates and not owning up to his own play.

**** that guy.

Eh, if Daley wasn't working out so well, probably, but, even with the retention on Scuderi's contract, I'm happy with out this all played out.

 

[Greeneye]

I guess all the Blackhawk fans were wrong, who would have thought?
