Non-Penguins Offseason Moves 2014

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Disappointing. I would imagine playing with 87 and 71 would be worth more than playing in NYC. oh well.

You're assuming the Pens wanted to re-sign him. There is no indication they were interested in bringing him back.

True, but I feel like every team in the league would love to have Stump at 900k so if the Pens didn't talk to him then that's a bad play.

[Beveridge]

I doubt Pens were much for offering more than a million just base on other signings.

He is going to get top 6 minutes and top PP time, most likely, in New York and a chance to cash in on that next summer if he performs. It's a better move than taking a hypothetical 1 million deal from Pens for 2nd PP minutes and more than likely bottom 6 minutes.

Lee is an okay responsible forward, but not really a top 6 guy. He isn't a "hitter" and he isn't going to be a Selke nominee. One the offensive side he is a 15g 30pt guy. He had 1 season over 20 goals and actually took a pay cut that following summer. He can fill into the top 6 if you have some sort term injuries without hurting your team, but he is not a guy that you want to pencil in there as a starter.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 5m
Ryan O'Rielly agrees to 2 yr deal. $ 5.8 and $6.2.

Now everyone can shut up about this for a bit.

[pcm]

That's a good deal. And talk about last minute. I'm pretty sure the arbiter was going to give his ruling today.

Even losing Stastny, they've got the best top 6 in the NHL. McGinn is the only guy punching above his weight, and they added Briere as a backup option.

Mcginn-Duchene-O"Reilly
Landeskog-Mackinnon-Iginla

I think Stansy went to the team with the best top-6.

Steen - Backes - Oshie
Schwartz - Stansy - Tarasenko

Crosby and Malkin could be playing with McDonald's hamburgers and we'd still have the best top 6 in the league.

And he signed for $900k.

Pens are going to pay Spaling more than twice that for something close to what you describe above, minus the marginal grit that Lee does provide.

Crosby and Malkin could be playing with McDonald's hamburgers and we'd still have the best top 6 in the league.

And go out in the second round.

[pcm]

That is a solid top 6, through and through. But I'd take the Avs 4th best fwd (Landeskog) over any of those guys except Backes.

[pcm]

Crosby and Malkin could be playing with McDonald's hamburgers and we'd still have the best top 6 in the league.

And Sutter is an elite defensive center.

:koolaid:

Like....Big Macs or just a couple quarter pounders?

I was thinking McDoubles. What they lack in offensive skill they make up for in being cheap...allows us to sign more expensive bottom 6 players.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

What about McDowell's hamburgers?

[pcm]

That's a good deal. And talk about last minute. I'm pretty sure the arbiter was going to give his ruling today.

I even forgot about Tanguay.

He's been in the league since 1906

[pcm]

He's younger than both Kunitz and Dupuis... our resident hamburgers.

[Avyran]

Dreger reporting that James Reimer was re-signed by the Leafs for 2 years, 2.3 per year.

There goes our replacement for Fleury.

[GSdrums87]

Time to offer sheet Johansen

[Gaucho]

5 million a year for Brassard, are you sh*tting me?

[DelPen]

Insanity. Pure insanity.

[JS©]

I can't wait for the next lockout.

[the wicked child]

Seeing some of the contracts being handed out, I wonder if the cap can possibly continue to go up enough to where there is not a crisis of some sort.

[DelPen]

We had that last year where the cap actually went down and we are still trying to recover now. Some teams will struggle but still be good like Pens, Hawks and other teams that have two great players and tied in max hit to them, other teams will always make bad decisions like the Leafs, Flyers, Caps, Oilers and other who just make stupid moves.

There will be some teams on the edge that can take advantage of the market and get into position to win, Kings seem to be there, Montreal is another one.

I think Stansy went to the team with the best top-6.

Steen - Backes - Oshie

Think I'd rather have:
Saad-Toews-Hossa
Sharp-Richards-Kane
