Making you happy for a buck since 199X

Holy poo poo, I am glad the Pens already have most of their team and are near the cap.

You'll notice how almost all of the big long term contracts are being handed out by bad teams. Doubtless this is partly because good teams are usually near the cap, but also doubtless it's partly because bad teams are run by unintelligent people prone to bad long term decision making.

He's really good at pissing off Hershey Bears players, and since the WBS Pens see them like a million times a year, and he's really only going to play for them it's not terrible. But since the coach down here is terrible (unless they fire him) he will play too many minutes.
