Thread: After Last Nights Dealings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>Okay smooth brain - since you are wrong and a dick, I will literally walk you through this.

If Miller gets 8.5mil next year, that means the Pens need to free up 3.25mil in cap space.
JJ buyout = 1
Zucker = 5.5
Cap increase = at least 1

Thats at least 7.5mil. Last time i checked 7.5 &gt; 3.25</div></div>

Ok. I’ll play along with that. That leaves you with 4.25 mil with Jarry, Dumo, and Blueger to resign or replace. Say Jarry get 5.5, so another 2 mil. Down to 2.25 left. Obviously don’t know Bluegers future here, but I feel they like him and want to keep him around which would already put them over the cap and still don’t have a Dumo replacement. Say we let Blueger go, replacing him with a minimum contract would be fine. That leaves like 1.5 to replace Dumo. The only way it works is if POJ blooms into a top-4 dman and we pay a small amount for a bottom dman leaving them with no money left. Big what if. Hextall has mentioned cap space numerous times. Don’t see him spending to the absolute limit. Even then they will still have to add a player or two to complete the roster making this impossible. Only realistic outcome with all of it is if they move out McGinn or Carter next year, which would be nice, but easier said than done. All of this assuming the cap goes up, which again is not a given.

P.S.-your hypocrisy is showing about that dick comment

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>I think it would be better suited for the pens to either trade Zucker to a team like AZ or Buffalo for purpose of buyout and then re-sign him to a much cheaper contract since they like him. They can add Kapanen to the deal so they get a young forward to actually add to their team and pens get like a 5th round pick back. Or they trade Zucker with a bit of retention like here, add Kapanen for like a 3rd round pick, and that crappy team trades Zucker with 2 million more retained to a contender for a 2nd rounder and maybe a prospect. I wouldn’t want to take Girgensons back since the pens could use that money to re-sign a better Heinen.</div></div>

I really like this Zucker idea -- not sure I've seen it mentioned elsewhere.
