Sorry, have not been following along recently, any insiders have and good scoops?

I hope they mix the team up, it needs it. So do the fans.

Yes.

Jersey colors have been changed to more properly represent the roster. Expect Pink to be dominant but the underbelly will be a soft yellow on both home and away uni's.

Jack is being offered around the league. Adam's has been relentlessly working the phones to bring in Bonino, Haula, and either Jenner or Cizikas.

Larry is in negotiations with the club to return as the 1C, his agent is demanding a max contract to stay. Kerry and Tim are cool with that, but are equally strong in requiring a two way contract for the AHL vet minimum amount.

Mitts has stated he too is up to 206 ....but mumbled something about that being his body fat percentage...was tough to hear when he shoved four Twix bars in his mouth.

Hutton has stated he is working with Cooper to design a new mask that includes revolutionary new Puck Tracking technology.

Skinner has been working on his forechecking skills in a rather determined effort to maximize his 4th line duties under Ralph.

Ralph and his assistants are redesigning the system to utilize a formation of 1 Rover, 2 Middies, 1 Halfback and 1 Sweeper.

Lastly, Kimmie is conducting Hockey Strategy, Tactics & Player Evaluation classes to educate the likes of Don Maloney, Rick Dudley, Dale Tallon, Bruce Boudreau, Gerard Gallant, and Mike Gillis. Rumour has it Patty Lala wanted in, but Kerry and Tim refused his registration...Teddy Nolan is purported to be extremely pissed.

Well done. Bravo.

Oh god that’s not good. Unless he comes with a side of bjustead.

But seriously, he’s a shell of himself at this point.

Mmmmmmm smell the chaos!!! But zero bjustead mentions. We know Kim is down with the bjustead.

A shell of himself?

Strongly disagree with that.

He's got 2 years left on his deal, he could either be paired with Dahlin or anchor the 2nd pair on the right side, and he'd be the 3rd defenseman the team could protect in the expansion draft next year.

He makes sense, however, I would imagine the cost in assets going the other way to get him would be most prohibitive.

Well I hope Adams is studying up, looking over things it's a very good year to flip the script. Am surprised how many teams with about 10 to 15mill in Cap space but all seem to have like 5 to 7 players to sign to even fill out there rosters.

He makes sense in many ways, but I have no idea what Pittsburgh would want or expect for him.

That would be a terrific move if they really wanted to handcuff the team.

Might have to get one of the analytic guys on this one. I’m probably biased because I’m in Pittsburgh and he gets ridden pretty hard around here. They seem to be sick of him.

I disagree.
He put up 44 pts in 61 games, that's very good, no doubt.
But, on the downside he costs $7.25, generated 0 pts in 4 PO games, and missed 8 games this season ...he has a history of missing about 11-12 games a year and missed 41 4 seasons ago.

I'd much rather invest that money in 2 steady Dmen ... probably have some $'s left over.

Gotta move Okposo imo to take on that contract.

Is it next year or the year after that his cap hit exceeds his salary?

I looked up his advanced stats before replying.

He'd immediately be the best defenseman on the team.

His advanced stats continue to be strong, and that's even after being paired with the black hole that is Jack Johnson for a stretch of games this year.

No you don't.

You move both Montour and Ristolainen.

Okposo’s 6 mil cap hit is a boat anchor on this teams cap.

Is it next year or the year after that his cap hit exceeds his salary?

21-22

- buffalofan19

he has one more year at the full price

Okposo’s 6 mil cap hit is a boat anchor on this teams cap.

so is skinners

That's obvious. It doesn't mean moving him is the only way to make other moves, or a move like bringing in Letang.

🤔🤔🤔

Malkin had a bad series. Not really debatable

Although, interesting that his 18 minutes with Kris Letang at 5v5 went as follows

xGF 1.44
xGA 0.61
xGF% 70.16

CF 32
CA 14
CF% 69.57

Quality of teammate matters & despite what many think Letang is by far and away Pens best D man
