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

[66-30-33]

Sounds about right. The anti-MAF people will celebrate as the team struggles to win 10 games next year and says at least our goaltenders weren't MAF.

Pens will get that Wright kid, after that Bedard kid.

Rossi says Hextall was sleeping

Or it’s probably Rossi caught off guard…if I’m the Pens, I’m never speaking with Rossi so how would he know that anyone inside was surprised?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Do you know the thing that bothers me about that Rossi tweet? You know for a fact that the Penguins are going to wait to address their goalie situation until they hear what Fleury is going to do. They're going to sit on their hands to wait for Fleury to make a decision, and if he decides on retiring, they're caught with their pants down and no options to upgrade in net.

If I were Hextall, I'd call Chicago right now and say "will you trade Fleury with salary retained straight up for Jarry?". If they say no, move on. Don't wait to see if Fleury will refuse to play for Chicago.

Rossi says Hextall was sleeping

Offguard? Every freaking body knew they were looking to move Fleury.

 

[eXile3]

Why are we even talking about MAF? I thought we were looking for better playoff results?

Well Jarry set the bar pretty low. Getting better would literally be not having the worst goalie performance of the last 7 years.

 

[Gurglesons]

And Zucker has a grand total of 0 cups while Fleury has 3.

You keep clinging to the "Fleury has been pulled in 4 of his last 6 playoffs" line, despite the fact that Fleury has like a .923 save% over those years in a really big sample size of games.

Yes, because Fleury’s issue has never been putting up a solid sample size, it’s been blowing series individually.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yes, because Fleury’s issue has never been putting up a solid sample size, it’s been blowing series individually.

Fleury hasn't blown a series individually since 2012.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Offguard? Every freaking body knew they were looking to move Fleury.

Rossi is a f***ing idiot. He should go back to serving ice cream with his dad. He's better at that than his sources within the team other than Geno because Geno feels bad that he rode the short bus as a kid and shares a tootsie roll with him once in a while.

 

[Gurglesons]

Fleury hasn't blown a series individually since 2012.

lol.

 

[Andy99]

Well Jarry set the bar pretty low. Getting better would literally be not having the worst goalie performance of the last 7 years.

Sure, but didn’t Jarry beat the worst PO goalie record set by MAF in 2012 or something? Lol…could we find a goalie not on that list!

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Paying attention to Rossi is like watching the weather forecast on the news. You know it's 90% BS but you still watch for some unknown reason.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I think we can safely disregard anything Rossi claims Pens' brass to be thinking or doing after he got like 5 things wrong about an 11-player protected list

 

[Turin]

Why the hell does Chicago want Fleury?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Why the hell does Chicago want Fleury?

Trade him, retain money and gain assets.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Oh no.

Imagine if it was GMJR that was "caught off guard" about a guy he was expecting to get and the measures he would go to get him back

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Fleury apologists are victims of Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[TooManyHumans]

Like who? I'm being serious as someone who is not in love with MAF but understands our current goaltenders suck.

Let's start hearing some of these magic bean proposals.

If we can sign them cheap I'd be fine with Andersen or Grubauer for example. We basically just need a guy we can legitimately turn to if Jarry looks like he is crapping the bed in the playoffs again.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Why the hell does Chicago want Fleury?

To prop up their expected smiles/60.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Fleury apologists are victims of Stockholm Syndrome.

I like how you think the crap you're posting about Fleury is any less dumb than the Facebook yinzers who view Fleury as a god.

 

[Turin]

Trade him, retain money and gain assets.

So the Pens gonna get him still lol

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Trade him, retain money and gain assets.

Gain what assets?

Did you see what he was traded for?

What is Chicago retaining, 90 percent?

 

[3ladesof5teel]

So the Pens gonna get him still lol

Ya.... probably for a kings ransom lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

I can't wait for the meltdowns on here when Fleury gets voted into the HHoF

People on this place are going to be so angry about it.

 

[66-30-33]

I hope we don't have 2 threads fill up fast talking about Fleury lol.

 

[Turin]

Fleury is a good goalie who is good friends with the best players on the team. If the Pens get him they’ll be better, and if they’re not then nobody else is a shoe in to be better
