Thread: Flower to Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyVC97</b></div><div>We got him for "Free" because we took his entire 7 mil contract. If the Pens want him at half his contract they will have to pay the vig. Hawks hold all the power here if Flower wants to retire they don't have the cap hit but Vegas will. Pens want him the Hawks can play hard ball especially if they need Chicago to eat half of his cap hit. The Hawks have been held ransom for over a decade with cap problems now they can weaponize the cap for thier benifit!</div></div>

3.5M for a year doesn’t equate to a 1st and POJ…

Chicago is also stuck in this scenario whereas Pens don’t ‘need’ Fleury

Vegas doesn’t face any cap regardless…

Based off of that Jones deal I’m sure Hextall wouldn’t be worried about any ‘hardball’ either

Thread: Landeskog
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brgh4life</b></div><div>What does that matter what they have won? It's about what they are more likely to do in the future. Colorado is far more likely to be a legit cup contender over that 7 year contract. Their core is literally in their prime during the entirety of that deal. The Pens core is already 33, 34, 35. It makes no sense for him to sign with us.</div></div>

Pittsburgh’s core has won without him

Colorado hasn’t even won with him

Just weird to judge his willingness to sign based on a perceived ‘contender’ gap that I don’t see as that substantial, both teams will be in the playoffs next year

Pens core with Landeskog is every bit the contender the Avs core is without him, at least in the short term

By definition this also assumes he leaves, how many similar contenders even have the space

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BStinson</b></div><div>The more I think about MP to Detroit the more I don’t like it. No one can say where this potential is going to come from and that contract isn’t exactly great. Rather keep the late second rounder in a “weak” draft and sign a UFA. We’ve seen what RFAs like Toews sign for and we’ve seen Tanev &amp; Brodie sign as UFAs just to make a few much higher end guys. Everyone says it’s a weak draft but don’t realize it’s labeled that because the top end talent and not depth.</div></div>

Prerequisite that the free agent would have to want to sign in Detroit

But yes if Reilly wants to sign for the same money sure that’s probably better

I honestly don’t really get the hate on Pettersson. 25 year old #4. Pretty vanilla but not wildly overpaid. Would be fine with him staying in Pittsburgh if Matheson could be moved for value. Just doesn’t make sense to pay them both second pair money with POJ ready to go

In regards to potential, has shown some offensive flashes but used pretty exclusively in a defensive role in Pittsburgh with a more mobile partner
