(for reference)

If we are giving up our 3rd rounder in 2016, that means no offersheets this offseason...

Less than $1,205,377: Nothing
$1,205,377-to-$1,826,328: Third-round pick
$1,826,328-to-$3,652,659: Second-round pick
$3,652,659-to-$5,478,986: First and third-round picks
$5,478,986-to-$7,305,316: First, second and third-round picks
$7,305,316-to-$9,131,645: Two firsts, a second and third-round picks

is it possible that Adam Oates could be available as an assitant if he gets passed over for the job in New Jersey?

We wouldn't get permission for him to make a lateral move.

i'm not 100% sure. in his mind he would be getting passed over for the job. Lou could respect that and let him shop around.

 

[Moskau]

Give them our 2017 pick and hope that the rule is altered to exempt personnel fired sometime in the next 2 years and hope that it will be retroactive.

 

[boots electric]

keep adam oates as far away from the team as possible, thanks

 

[Jame]

so, Rutherford didn't want compensation for the guy whose job he took... but he does want compensation for the guy who he fired?

what a douce

 

[old kummelweck]

PIT GM wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't extract a pick from BUF as is the rule.

Hopefully, if the Sabres end up giving one to the Pens, it'll be one acquired in a trade. I think they acquired three extra 3rds for the 2016 draft.

Pretty sure the rule is written that is has to be OUR pick.

 

[Sabre the Win]

I don't think anyone would've had a problem surrendering a 3rd for Babcock. It's the idea that they have to surrender a pick--any pick--for a guy who got fired that is bothering people, and rightly so.

Adding to this, I think it's more bull crap that he was out of work for an entire year. It's not like he just got fired or left the Penguins. As well, why did they not ask for one from the Devils who are division rivals.

 

[Chad Thundercock]

Can't blame Pittsburgh for getting their pick

Now, send offer sheets every year to Rutherford and play by the rules

 

[Grinder44]

I know that's the case for signing an RFA, but wasn't sure if that was the case for exec compensation.

Yeah the fired coach part doesn't bother me as much as "coach whose team fired him last season and waited until all of the coaching vacancies were filled so he had no where to go". That and the fact they didn't seek compensation for Shero. It looks very inconsistent on their part.

Perhaps more likely is that NJ hires a coach and gives him the ability to bring in his own coaching staff, of which Oates may not be a part.

Sure, but given that a team can waive the compensation altogether, I have little doubt that the parties have leeway to negotiate a settlement. For instance, they could agree that Pittsburgh is getting San Jose's 2016 3rd (via Dallas in the Enroth trade).

Dan Bylsma has been named head coach, presser at 4pm



Official!!!

True. I would never want Oates as a HC, but i wouldn't mind him coaching our forwards.

 

[couture23]

Lmao Matthew on WGR was waiting all afternoon for the official announcement to be put out there, and he just signed off for the afternoon show and now it happens.

Tough timing for him.

 

[aaronr28]

Why did the Penguins require compensation for Bylsma but not Shero? Makes no sense to give them a 3rd round pick here. Dumb rule.

 

[Zip15]

Is Tim wearing the same shirt as last night?

 

[Myllz]

Glad the decision is over and done with. Time to start building a staff! Will be interesting to see who he brings in.

 

[wunderpanda]

Official!!!

Murray doesn't look happy
