Salary Cap: Salary Cap: 2016-17 roster-building part IX | Contract chart, cap info in post #1

Yeah, 6th overall sounds too good to be true so it probably is. Hopefully JR can pry something good away from whoever he trades Flower to though.

Oddly enough, the TSN final draft projection has a defenseman at #6 ....

SO the only acceptable posts in your mind are celebration photos? This is a hockey forum, we ARE HERE TO DISCUSS TRADES, CAP AND THE DRAFT

Obviously we can discuss anything here, but incessant whining about signing Kevin Porter to a 2 way deal is a little over the top just after a Cup win.

I will build JR a statue right next to Mario's if he gets Calgary to pay the 6th overall for MAF.

If JR can get the 6th overall from Calgary, we should build a statue of him cross checking mario in the face.

 

[Asuna]

If we got the 6th overall pick, I'd just explode.

Olli & Olli future pairing?

I agree that JR is using that as sort of an opening request that he expects to be countered. However I can't see us adding anything that would make Calgary send us that pick. I seriously doubt that any team in the top 10 would trade that pick to the pens and allow them the opportunity to draft a young cost controlled winger to play with Sid or Geno. It would be awesome if it happened but like I said, I don't think a team drafting that high is going to help the pens out unfortunately lol

... and also at #55 and #61.
Shero would had grab them all!!!

As well he should. With Andersen gone, MAF is by far the best goalie available. Howard is awful and expensive. Bish isn't moving as he's a UFA next summer and doesn't need to be protected so TB will hold onto him. Reimer isn't a starter. Niemi/Leth are both trash.

And contrary to popular belief, JR cam move MAF next summer to a team like VAN pretty easily.

CAL has to get a goalie and JR doesn't have to move MAF. He holds all the power.

I agree with you in that JR should be aiming high. I do disagree that moving MAF next summer would be easy. I feel lIke if he waits that long the list of teams that need a starter shrinks and that could make moving Fleury a little more tricky next summer

Foresight vs Hindsight my friend, deal with it.

I'd prefer Nylander or Keller personally.

Olé, Olé, Olé

Not unless they REALLY want to get rid of Wideman and are willing to eat 2MM to get it done.

What is more likely is Calgary counters with 2 2nd's and JR pulls the trigger if he gets their highest 2 2nd's.

I guess we will see who is right.

On mobile so I can't post tweet, but a verified news anchor (I think) reports Bishop to Calgary is in the works

Ugh I hope not. Come on JR, you've been awake for 6.5 hours. Get to work.

Who is the news anchor?

 

[ColePens]

Oh good.. irrational panic city is going to happen.
