Thread: Pens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Hayes has three years at $3.5m. Saad has three years at $4.5m. Smith has one year at $5m. Acciari two years at $2m. The marginal on ice benefit does not come close to the cap structure implications.</div></div>

Hayes and Saad both are signed through 2026, two years

Pens basically extend Smith by a year here (Saad) and that's it, Hayes and Acciari have the same term

...and Hayes and Saad are younger, so less age related risk

I don't see those two as any more risk than keeping Acciari and Smith, who they already know don't fit

Thread: Pens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Maybe to fans that think of cap hit as monopoly money. Dubas is taking on 6 years and $24m for two 3rd line players while giving up three years and $9m on a 3rd liner and 4th liner. If he wants to get fired, this would be a good start. It makes little to no difference on the roster and massive difference on the balance sheet. Which is almost a guaranteed bad decision in the cap era of roster management.</div></div>

6 years?

Thread: Pens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I don't really know if that helps the Blues at all or not. Our 4th line of Walker - Sunny - Toropchenko has been pretty good. I guess if we felt Toropchenko needed moved up to the 3rd line it could work. I get that the idea is to cut bait on some term on the contracts. Hayes has been fine, Saad is what he is. Very streaky, but will get to 20 goals and 40 points or so. I have no reason to care to keep either player that the Blues would move here, but i don't really see where the two returning would fit either too much.</div></div>

Pens get slightly better players, Blues get cap sooner is how I see it

Pens' best chance of being competitive is finding better fits for similar players

Blues could probably dump those two easier than Saad and Hayes given NTCs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>so many better option for depth in the bottom-6 than a slow guy we don't need taking up $3M+ on the cap for 3 more years... acquiring him would be worse than the Jeff Carter extension everybody is still mad about...

Acciari is 2M on the cap for 3 more years and he's older and less productive

Eller would be even better as a 4C

Carter was 5 years older when acquired

Thread: Hayes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vbolshakov</b></div><div>- 3C upgrade is a great option for a contender. Pens should face the truth that a Wild Card spot is a maximum we can get. And we should start thinking about the future (aka rebuilding).
- 3C gets 40+ points only by playing PP. Pens are the most disappointing with PP this year. Slow Hayes can take a spot in front of goalies but will not help much.
- Blues paid 7th to take Hayes with 50% retention after his 50+ points season. You offer a way too much.
- Hayes is a good player but he is not known to be a leader, he will not improve the team's morale and motivation.</div></div>

Pens aren't rebuilding and have more than enough leadership

Thread: Swaps

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>That's fine, but it still wouldn't happen. Third team or not.

Carter has no desire to go back to Philly, there was a ton of fallout from that offseason trade moving on from both he and Richards. If anything I bet he'd rather retire a King.

He wouldn't waive because he wants to stay on a team that's gunning for a Stanley Cup push, it's his final season.

Smith at this point isn't worth anything. They tried to trade him and even waived him and no one took him... that tells you all you need to know about his value.</div></div>

Weirdly confident on the first point, no one knows what will happen, the world is a mystery

That was 10+ years ago? Are you his therapist?

You don't get your name on the cup if you don't play... I imagine he wants to play. He already has his cups

Smith has value <em>because</em> he's cleared waivers.... so he doesn't have to go back through to develop in Philly's system... he also has the same stat line as Frost this season...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>no issues with the OTT deal thats fine.

The Flyers deal is the troll post.

You know they wouldn't trade with the penguins let alone give Frost away for basically nothing. Plus you also know Carter isn't waiving to go anywhere, specially not back to Philly lol</div></div>

Pretend there's a third team like the Streit deal (but there are new front office folks on both sides, who cares)

Carter and Frost have a near identical stat line this year, and a 2nd + Smith is not 'nothing'

Why would Carter not waive? He played with Briere, could retire a Flyer, and the whole thing with him coming to Pittsburgh was proximity to family in central PA

Frost is off to a bad start but, at 24 and after last season I'd think he's worth a little more than what you're offering, maybe an additional 4th. Not a big difference but, that trade looked like one of those so close but, for far situations</div></div>

I'd be fine with that

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>It’s wildly off.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>He’s a healthy scratch cause Torts is trying to prove a point to him that he wants him to play a more all around game. I could make you 5 of our forwards at minimum that have played worse than him this year but haven’t gotten sat because he expects more out of Frost. Also if you think a Center is worth the same as a depth defenseman you don’t know what you’re talking about lol. Centers are always valued higher than anyone other than maybe RHD.</div></div>

POJ is a closer to a 3/4 than a 'depth defenseman'

I don't think the value is really that off

What would be the genuine ask on a half retained Hayes? Got moved for a 6th this offseason but obviously worth more at 1.8M than 3.7M

Thought that package value was decent, 2nd round value (POJ) for player, 2nd round pick for retention

Ignoring that you’re looking at a small sample size… Ruhwedel is more consistent/healthy/defensively talented. Both are 6/7s at this point and one costs less, with less term on his deal for added flexibility

Especially see it as fair value given that it appears Timmins will be lost on waivers if not moved

Really questioning the reading comprehension here

Could keep Ruhwedel as a #7 and save 300K with similar performance.......... don't even love this move from Pittsburgh's POV but think Dubas likes Timmins more

Ruhwedel saves 300K? Either player can be buried?

Bad value tells me you know absolutely nothing about Ruhwedel and/or are overrating Timmins
