Guys, I hate Greg Wyshynski.

He pretty much said anyone who claims cap circumvention with the bolts is a hater.

He's not wrong. These are the rules as the NHL set them up and they'll likely change them after this season, but the Pens are doing the same thing.

Are you saying they aren’t circumventing the cap? I didn’t say other clubs aren’t doing it but they are doing it on the grandest scale of them all.

They're taking advantage of the rules the NHL set up.

Hell this has been going on for a while. I remember the Hawks did it with Kane. Bottom line is that Tampa still had to make the playoffs with guys out. They probably win the division instead of being in third. We just did it with Tanev because there's no Carter here unless Tanev stays out.

Yeah I don’t really see the problem when you hold out a big money star. You take risks when you do that. You’ll end up with a less favorable seed or could miss the playoffs. If you held out an albatross, though. Like if Jack Johnson were making $7 mil, got hurt, and the GM said “Hell yeah! Out for the season! LTIR!” That would be dubious.

That is garbage. 1:30pm here....on top of the Pens looking sh!t in afternoon games I have a 4 year old's bday party 12:00 to 2:00 and my own game to play at 3:00

I had this sneaking suspicion/fear the first game would be a f'n matinee.

Nobody likes 12pm games, they're (frank)ing garbage. People have poop to do during the days. Especially at noon.

Really? I love noon games lol wake up, make coffee, watch hockey, intermission throw a pork butt on the smoker and it's ready by dinner, it's the 3PM games I hate. Middle of the day is more annoying to me. Noon or 7PM.

I used to like noon Saturday games because I wouldn't have to miss the games when I went out. Now with the baby on board, my social life has very much shifted to day-time oriented so it's flip flopped.

I dread them! I do all my work at the house then. A 7pm game is the perfect time to stop working and go watch the game. I always tell myself I'm gonna throw it on the radio on, but i always forget. I guess I'm different, because I'm remodeling the entire house, in my spare time( the weekend) and haven't gotten cable or internet to the house yet.

I'll be doing the same, but sub out the pork butt and I'll be preparing dough for a few loaves for bread.
