Thread: Hextall calls Giroux
Hexy: Hello, Claude? Ron Hextall here. How are you doing?

Giroux: I'm good, Hexy. I can't believe we got swept by Tampa.

Hexy: Yeah that sucks. Anyway, how would you like to sign with the Pens?

Giroux: I F'ing hate that team!

Hexy: Yeah me too. But they're paying me alot of money so I can't say that. Don't tell anyone.

Giroux: Ha ha Hexy!

Hexy: But seriously Claude, sign with us! We need you! Even Sid wants you here!

Giroux: I don't know Hexy. I really can't play with that crybaby SOB. It was bad enough playing with that F'ing pigeon JVR. Caaaawwww! Caaaawwww! Caaaawwww!

Hexy: But Claude! We're running it back! We're keeping the band together!

Giroux: What do you mean, Hexy? The Beatles? The Eagles? GNR! Which type of band are we talking about?

Hexy: More like Genesis. You can be Phil Collins!

Giroux: F that, Hexy! Malkin is Phil Collins! And Sid is Peter Gabriel! That sledgehammer wielding F!

Hexy: Ok ok, calm down Claude! How about Spice Girls! You can be Sporty Spice!

Giroux: What? Sid is Sporty Spice! And Geno is Posh Spice! I want to be Baby Spice! Don't Tell me what I want Hexy! I'll tell you what I want!

Hexy: Claude! Claude! Claude! Claude! Claude!

Giroux: Don't F'ing go all Mel Kiper on me Hexy! Settle down and give your balls a tug! I'll sign with ya! Jesus F'ing Christ!

Hexy: That's great, Claude! How does 4 years 20 mil sound?

Giroux: Yeah, sounds good. But you tell that crybaby Sid that I'm not doing hot yoga with him on off days!

Hexy:. Yeah yeah yeah, whatever Claude! Welcome to the Penguins!

Giroux: (hangs up) What the F have I done?

Thread: Go big or go home
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Roscoe</b></div><div>As a Flyers Fan, even I know what a terrible trade that is for Buffalo

If you traded with Seattle for Voracek why didn't you use Seattle? And if you think St. Louis is taking Voracek I have land on the moon I can sell you

Flyers didn't protect NAK to just flip him for nothing

We got hosed in the Frost deal

Savard will start at 5million

Its not all bad, I think you are correct that Seattle drafts Haag:)</div></div>
Reinhart and Konecny put up similar numbers. Reinhart wants out, they would have Konecny for several years at a reasonable cap hit. Eakin was bad last year and only has one year left on his deal. Buffalo isn't exactly a hot spot for free agents so getting JVR for two years makes them better. The Flyers could add a prospect or pick if need be.

Tarasenko is on he Blues roster, hence why the trade appears to be with them. I Stated in the comments he will get taken by Seattle and flipped for Jake and a pick.

If you are dumb enough to think they protected NAK because of how much the like him that's on you. They protected him so Seattle wouldn't be tempted take a cheap option like him, and instead hopefully force their hand to take on a bigger salary like Jake, JVR, or Ghost.

Bertuzzi is a proven 25 goal / 45-50 point winger who is a pain in the ass to play against. Frost has done nothing. They'd be lucky to get a player like Bertuzzi or Garland for him and a first.

Savard isn't getting 5 million in a flat cap, and he certainly isn't ''starting at 5 million.''

Anything else dumb you want to say.....

Thread: 1 Salary dump and 2 big trades to get tougher
Correct in that Detroit wants Salary... BUT WITH ASSETS. A competing team might make this trade for JVR. Detroit is not giving up assets for a 32 year old with 2 years left at $7M. Does Detroit absolutely NO GOOD. Detroit wont be competing for a cup for a few years in this rebuild, JVR will be gone by then. He provides 0 to Detroit.

So if you want to send JVR or any other contract to Detroit, it has to be with assets. Send a prospect, or picks, but dont ask Detroit for 2 picks and only provide them with JVR. Its a NO.

Also your Seattle plan is garb... they would keep salary on Tarasenko AND take Voraceks contract? Francis must have found the good stuff to smoke up in Seattle... You have him taking $11M in contracts for a 3rd round pick and Hagg? Yea not one team in the league is doing that. They could get Voracek for free right now.. so your paying a 3rd and Hagg for Tarasenko and they keep $3M? Laughable.

Thread: Fletcher for GMOTY
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Wings not giving up anything for a winger making 7 million a year for the next couple of years. Leddy deal and Staal deals were made because we needed LHD, not forwards.

Not the right team or fit</div></div>

Detroit has a TON of cap space and I would think they would like to give Larkin a decent winger for the top line. They literally have one forward right now signed after this upcoming season (Larkin). As currently constructed, Detroit is going to have a hard time signing free agents without just simply outbidding other teams. They need to put a competitive team on the ice. It’s not just about being so bad that they get a top 5 pick. They also need to sell tickets and merchandise. I’m not saying JVR jerseys would be flying off the shelves but he is a scorer and that would make Larkin happy. Otherwise what incentive does he have to stay after his contract expires?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kevg028</b></div><div>i like this but it would strap us with $ for next year with coots and g due new deals, which the aav for both should just be a swap. but we have farabee going to be an rfa and his bridge deal would be 3-4 mil. i would rather get danault than reinhart</div></div>
It would definitely be tight. Hypothetically, G gets 5, Couts 8.5, Farabee 4.5, Allison 2 , Laczynski 1. That’s 21M. 18 in space. We would also need a 6th dman. So it would definitely be tight. My thinking is that after next year Hayes loses his NMC so we then try to move him ( easier said than done) and then we move girgensons with his 1 year left. Depending on how Tarasenko does, he could be a one and done and we either move him or buy out his last year since his actual salary is lower than his cap hit. There are options but this is a much more defensively sound team. Could also hang onto TK instead of Reinhart and save 500k
