Salary Cap: Salary Cap Thread - Waiting for Day Two Edition

[Peat]

Has The Fourth Period got any track record, or is this Eklund level stuff.

Re Kuemper-Jarry possibilities - I can see the reason for doubt but it is the obvious hockey trade from our end. I know Arizona would probably prefer picks and prospects and to pick someone up from FA, and maybe someone will offer that, but maybe not. There's a decent goaltending crop in free agency and a few splashes aside, it's poor prices unless its cap for cap. Jarry's a guy who could easily go down as a shrewd pick up too and is young enough to be around to have a shot at being around when the Coyotes are next good/have asset value in a couple years.

Plus they've got 8 2nds in the next two years, how many more picks do you need?

 

[Gurglesons]

Man, the Metro has gotten decidedly worse today.

Hopefully UFA goes the same way.

The fourth period is super legit. Dave Pagnotta is the main spokesman for it.

 

[Gurglesons]

9.5 mil for Jones. And people think Letang is going to take a pay cut. lol.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Oh my f***. GMs, man...

-edit-

Just kidding it's worse than initially believed. Holy shit.

 

[Empoleon8771]

All I know is that if Letang wants that kind of money to extend, I would rather blow up the core right now and sell off everyone for draft picks

If Letang and Malkin won't take a paycut after this year, this team is absolutely toast.

 

[xlm34]

We’ve been really fortunate to have Letang at the contract he has. My god these contracts.

Why? Letang is 100% worth it if Jones and Oleksiak are taking that type of money. Plus we probably get him for like three years.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Letang's gonna have to call a doctor because he is absolutely going to be erect for longer than 4 hours after seeing this shit today.

The Penguins aren't going to win with Letang and Malkin not taking a paycut, so if they won't take a paycut, they might as well just trade them.

The only sliver of hope they have left with contending in the future is if Letang and Malkin take massively team friendly deals.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

What's even happening here? Is Bowman torpedoing shit on his way to the courtroom or something?

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Jones is pretty overrated. I don’t see him helping Chicago that much.

I dont think hes overatted, hes a good solid D but hes getting paid

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Geno may take a pay cut. Not one substantial enough to make a difference, probably, but he could take a pay cut. I don't think Letang's going to be keen on taking a pay cut from his already extremely friendly deal, playing some of the best hockey of his career, and it likely being his last NHL contract.

All in all, we're probably f***ed.

 

[Turin]

9.5 today is like 12 2 years ago. TF.

Oh cool, that's good to know.

*pauses* Interesting that the three players we're linked to are 1 year deals to UFA. Is Hextall going to try and build as solid a team as he can for next year without splashing out much, then whatever comes, comes?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Off topic; I'm annoyed these assholes didn't wait until the draft to announce this stuff. This is the most "nobody has a f***ing clue" draft in history and the top pick is some almost assuredly made up dude named Owen Power. Save some trades to add some excitement to that snoozefest.

Is it? last i check a sheet of OSB cost 60 bucks

Why would Letang and Malkin take massively team friendly deals?

They already did.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Makar and Fox are losing their minds after Heisekanen's and Jones' deals.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

He's absolutely overrated.

I mean we can go back and forth on this but hes a great young d-man just hitting his prime

 

[Empoleon8771]

Uh, did you read my post?

I'm not saying whether they will or won't. I'm saying if they won't, they should just trade them and blow up the team.

 

[dogthateats]

You would have to overpay me to play for the Blackhawks too

 

[Gurglesons]

Uh, did you read my post?

I'm not saying whether they will or won't. I'm saying if they won't, they should just trade them and blow up the team.

I did read your post Empo. I know you like to knee jerk. This team will be fine paying Kris Letang 7.25 and Evgeni Malkin 9 mil.

 

[TKalltheTime]

WTF are the hawks doing lol
