Huge contract overpayments for everyone. Poulin maybe gets 2 years 925k, same with Puustinen, and St. Ivany probably gets a 2 year 800-850k deal. Ned maybe gets around 2-2.5 at absolute most. Why pay such premiums for the Jake’s when you could probably get Reinhart and Toffoli for a combined like 2-3 million more?

if that's the defense next year this team goes no where. You might as well just field 4 defensemen and tell them each to play 30 minutes.
Ludvig is the worst penguins defensemen ever not named Jack Johnson.
