Thread: Part 2 to going in for more

I don’t think that Vancouver trade is worth it for the pens. Boeser was only slightly better than Kapanen last year and Kapanen is slightly better than Boeser this year stat wise. I’m sure Boeser will be the better player more than not, but having to add a decent prospect, a 1st, a 3rd, and 4th liner quality player is too much for a pens team with like no farm system.

He has the same if not better stats in more games than all but Campbell. That’s a ridiculous take lol.

Thread: My GM retool on the fly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>myteam</b></div><div>My logic is:
Kane is the higher skilled player.
Kane plays a more physical game.
Kane scores more.
Kane gets more helpers.

Kane finds himself in the penalty box too often.
Takes too many off ice risks.

So again, your logic is to trade a guaranteed middle 6 winger for a guy that’s got 1 foot out the door of the league cause he is a dbag. E. Kane “wanting to be a star” is the least of his stupidity. He is a cancer and you don’t bring that into a locker room like the pens. Especially considering his contract. Anything more and league minimum is too much.

Repeating that ridiculous nonsense doesn’t make it right. It only sounds dumber every time you say it. I’m sorry you don’t like facts and stats but it’s pure and utter nonsense.

So your logic is that we should make another horrible deal because we’ve recently made too many bad deals? Not sure about that logic there. It isn’t risk vs reward. You’re trading the better player and teammate for a locker room cancer who is close to being out of the league. It’s bad management.

Thread: Setting Up The Final Three Years

What a waste of 4 million in cap space. How in the world is ERod making almost the same as Rakell? Would be much better spent spending to the cap and spending 5 on Rust, who is a massive upgrade.

Clearly you don’t watch the pens and possibly don’t watch hockey in general. Zucker isn’t a cap dump.

Thread: Is it worth the risk

Absolutely not. We should not be paying for E. Kane. Not at that contract. Even at 50% retention that contract sucks for the type of dbag and locker room cancer he is. Not worth it. Unless the sharks add like 5 unprotected 1st round picks, the pens should stay far away.

I’m no way shape or form should we take on Evander Kane. Especially not for that salary and especially not if we give up anything in the process.

Thread: Let the Mathieu Darche era begin 2 of 2

You can’t retain on more than 3 contracts and retention is for the whole duration of the contract. You can’t retain on just 1 or 2 years.

Thread: Trading some Vets - Detailed Offseason

Pens decline. Zucker is better than Drouin. And the Allen upgrade at backup isn’t enough to sway the pens. Nor do they have the cap space anyway.

Just to give you an idea of how much better Zucker is than Drouin. Not to mention Zucker is way better in the locker room and of a teammate.

Thread: Deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Crouse is currently playing better than Zucker. The cap relief for next szn is huge too.. Lyubushkin is a solid 3RHD.
Honestly, I think our forward core is alright, but we could defo upgrade that top 6.. would love someone like Miller but he will cost so much..
Hard to see DAL selling Holtby for a 6th.. unless they are forced to move cap, but then they wouldnt retain.
I like our team, but at the same time we could defo upgrade.. The thing is, I dont think management wants to move futures out.</div></div>

In what way is Crouse playing better than Zucker?
Cool, I’m all for bringing in Lyubushkin to upgrade our 3RD spot, however that doesn’t mean he is worth more than a 4th and that we should massively overpay for him. Even if you want to live in a fantasy land that Crouse is a tad better than Zucker, this is still an overpay.

I’d say DeSmith is the weak spot. If Jarry gets hurt during the playoffs all the talent in the world couldn’t get the pens a win with how DeSmith has played.

Thread: LTIR all in

The problem is you can’t just keep a player on LTIR. Once he is cleared he will have to come back. Even if you could, do you really think a guy in a contract year and coming off a dreadful year would agree to that? I highly doubt it.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 10:48 pm

Thread: Deadline

These are massive overpays. Neither of the AZ guys are worth more than a 4th round pick. And you’re basically giving up two 2nds and a 6th round pick value. I’d maybe do a 6th at best for Holtby retained and they take DeSmith back. And I wouldn’t do Heinen straight up for Smith, let alone add picks.

Yeah they suck now cause they are injured and have covid problems. The healthy roster went like 5-1 to start the season or something like that. Add Kapanen to that and they are even better. So it definitely will take a lot to get something from a divisional opponent.

Malkin isn’t going to be on LTIR forever lol. He will probably be back around January. It would be foolish to take on a 6.25 million cap hit that isn’t moveable when they are going to be already up against the cap when Malkin returns.

Pens decline. If you want Kapanen it is 1st, 2nd, and Bellows as a starting point. And that might not get it done with a division rival.
