I would offer him anything up to the amount that's covered by Carter's contract coming off the books - so $9.125mil

Is he not signing because he doesn't think it's enough, or is he not signing because he doesn't want to tie himself to the mast of a sinking ship?

If it's the first, offer him more money, if it's the second, you're ****ed, trade him for the best you can get, start the rebuild.

If the Pens think they are in playoff race (they are), what is the need to trade an upcoming UFA? All teams have upcoming UFAs, they all don't get traded.
I wouldn't believe any "reports", as 99% of the time it's just made up by reporters trying to look knowledgable.
50m for a contract that starts at the age of 30.....who would offer more? (or much more). IMO the aging Pens should start to retool
