Created by: SydBarrett

Team: 2024-25 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 5, 2024

Published: Apr. 5, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

After 400 games KK is still a bottom 6 player. Overpaid by about 1.5 mil
Graves is a bottom paring d. overpaid by about 1.5 mil.
Both could benefit from a change in scenery
Carolina has too many centers. Pens could probably use some center depth.
Most of Carolina's D core expires at the end of the year. This could help them re-sign Necas and Jarvis.
Pens could give some youth a chance on D and have better bottom 6 depth.

Lol, what? In Carolina he's averages more than 35. But pure hatred drives you I see

He's been in Carolina for 3 seasons and scored over 30 points once. Definitely worth 4.8

Jesus, dude, do you know him personally or something?

I’m glad you’re responding to this guy lmao . I’ve had him on the ignore list for quite a while based on his extreme homerism and lack of hockey knowledge lol so this is pretty funny to see you prove him wrong over and over again

Man, if only you knew.

Everyone is aware of him. You just gotta kinda swat him with a fly swatter a couple times before he gets it. Everyone on Carolina is the best in the league.

If Kk was on ANY other team, literally, he'd tell everyone he's a cap dump

He's scored at a 35+ point pace both of the first two years, and may have hit 40 points that first year if Wilson doesn't knee him and knock him out for 6 weeks

It's a wonderful thing nobody cares about pace, only what the player actually did. 29 pts in 66 games. Phew. Give him Matthews money

Would you be defending him this hard if he was still on Montreal?

If kk was on the habs this guy would be saying it costs two 1sts to dump such an overpaid 4th liner

Would think the Pens would have to add to this, but I would certainly interested in the swap.

Canes shouldn't do that IMO....at least KK is 23, not 28. And if I need to hide a bad player/contract on the ice I dont want it to be a defenseman.
