Salary Cap: Salary Cap Thread - The Long Game

[Gurglesons]

I make fun but in the end yeah... this is actually closer to reality than we're likely comfortable admitting haha

Worked out for us when Rutherford had a bunch of guys to sit around in meetings.

I mean... "too many cooks" is a thing but I'd rather err towards a multitude of opinions and POVs over one octogenarian tyrant.

 

[Gurglesons]

So who else doesn't give a shit about jersey ads? lol.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Apropos of nothing, whoever buys ad space on our jerseys won't be getting my business.

I utterly despise this hellscape of endless advertising.

I think it's pretty unfortunate, myself.

CONSUME

 

[Gurglesons]

You guys realize the whole point of professional sports team is advertisement though?

Listen you'd better just put on these sunglasses and get with the program or risk a protracted alleyway fight with me for the next like 30 minutes of film runtime.

I'm really good at cowering in a ball.

I do find it funny how people were criticizing this organization for being cheap and now we've probably added about million dollars in people to sit around in board meetings and look busy.

Alright for some eh.

Although yeah, this is something I'm thinking looking at this. He's gonna be very busy the next few months at a guess, but after that, what's he doing? Updating the cap sheet and six hours of solitaire on the computer? I daresay they'll dream up other things for him, maybe he calculations on how much pending free agents should get through the year, but still...

As I said. Sit in meetings that are pointless. That is what everyone at that level does at every company.

I'd guess that 70% of the people vowing to never spend a dime on a jersey again are the same ones that buy horrible knockoffs for $50 from REELHOCKEYJERZEES.EU

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I guess I never really got collecting jerseys. It always seemed weird wearing someone else's number/name. Plus my god are they expensive. My friend won a pretty nice Malkin Winter Classic baby blue and gave it to me and I framed it and put it in my studio. Aside from that, a hat and a 1993 Starter "Patrick Division Champs" cursed tee shirt I actually don't own any Pens merch.

Depends on the size/placement/quantity.

There's a HUGE difference between what the NBA currently has - a simple "Bumble" or "Wish" in the corner of the jersey vs the atrocious Euro hockey jerseys. Like if the Iron City "IC" logo was on a Pens jersey no one would give a shit.

 

[madinsomniac]

Somebody needs to make an app that superimposes whatever jersey you want on your team… lol sports franchises would despise it

Normally I'd agree, but when it comes to hockey ops it seems that the more chefs the more the soup sticks to the recipe. There are more people to see if one of the chefs try to add some poop in it and stop him in time.

I hate advertising so I'm never going to buy this form of advertisement again because of advertisement.

I think the reality is more so that the GM just wants to focus on the on ice product and Burke just wants to be the face. Smart moves tbh.

Burke is there to make the organization run. Hextall is there to make the organization win.

Yeah I'm good with hiring guys which specialize in certain tasks, and a numbers guy is highly needed.

Oh I agree. In this case it's a good thing.

JR cutting out all this staff was simply to consolidate power and that's never good.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Plain and simple, they get Euro bad I'll be contemplating stop watching period. I will not be buying any Jersey's. I've done it before and I'll do it again. Robo Pigeon crest revolt.
