Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins signed Zach Aston-Reese (2 Years / $1,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>They signed Jarry to a 1 way deal on the 2nd year. AKA they wanted him to back up.
The only reason DeSmith was the backup last year and not Jarry is they wanted jarry to play more in WBS. Jarry is the better goal tender.
I could care less about the stats. If you watched DeSmith play you know he's good enough to lose by 1. He never wins a tight game. On top of it his PK average is awful.</div></div>

You don't care about stats ... lol okay then. So they probably signed DeSmith to a 3yr deal paying him 1.25mil cus they don't want him to play. Great logic.

DeSmith might be good enough to lose by 1 but Jarry isn't even good enough to have the chance to lose by 1.

Thread: Updated lines after Day 1 of FA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Reeds77</b></div><div>Agreed, I think they are going to give Kahun first shot at playing on the top line because he fit in well with Toews and Kane in Chicago. If it doesn't work out I would imagine McCann is next in line and then Rust and lastly Galchenyuck or Horny. But i really feel like Malkin and Galchenyuck are going to fit nicely together. Read an article from Yohe. Sounds like Johnson is going to be with Gudbranson to start the year. Have a feeling they might go the route Nashville has by sheltering their bottom pairing heavy.</div></div>

They could shelter them and with the minutes the other top 4 are capable of playing that won't be hard to do. I still think that is a pretty good bottom pairing though. Even if they are overpaid. It's not like the pens would have landed any big names in free agency if they didn't have those contracts on the books. They would have had to sign bottom pair free agents to replace them.
