Nah he still works for the Trib, that lovely upgruv site he's with is just some offshoot targeted at millenials that aggregates content frim social media...I think, because I avoid visiting any links to it or the Trib like the plague.

Sharks Eat Bear posted:It does raise an interesting question -- is this JR's worst move as the Pens GM? The MAF contract was pretty bad, but can be at least partially excused because of the expansion draft maneuvering and 2nd Cup. Otherwise, so far as I can recall, JR's track record with the Pens has been pretty bulletproof. Despres for Lovejoy was bad. It only looks acceptable because of two things that occurred after the fact: 1) the Ducks gave him a contract that the Penguins couldn't have afforded to give him without making significantly different moves than they actually did during the 2015 offseason (if you have Despres there's probably no Kessel deal) and 2) Despres's career is likely over after taking several headshots before he could accomplish anything notable with the Ducks. Max Lapierre and Steve Downie were pretty lovely too, and so was Mike Johnston. But yeah, the good far outweighs the bad, and there's a lot of offseason left and free agency hasn't even started.

Aye Doc posted:i want to live in the unfathomable world where joe thornton takes 1.5m a year on his next deal. maybe after that, i could be brave enough to dip my toes into the world where he decides to do it for the new york rangers same. depending on what kind of contracts they sign their RFAs to and how much they cheap out on other depth positions the pens might not even need him to take a discount, what with having $19 million in cap space. schultz, dumoulin, and sheary will probably suck up half of that, give or take, and then after that they've basically only need bottom pairing defensemen and bottom six centers

Wonderllama posted:This is a weird FA season where it's just all of us in here hoping our team doesn't sign anyone of the available players. knowing that vegas is shopping around sbisa and emelin and apparently getting interest just adds another element of danger, so even if your team manages to be one of the 30 lucky winners of the dan girardi sweepstakes there's still the possibility of being a runner up

https://twitter.com/Russostrib/status/879746409683136512 Cullen said in his exit interview that he wouldn't go anywhere but back to the Penguins if he decided not to retire so I don't think the Wild will have much luck there. Kunitz seems kind of random though. bewbies posted:I bet Luca Sbisa is the most discussed player in NHLSAS, which is kind of weird. lovely depth defensemen in general get a lot of airtime here, probably because we're all negative nancies who love to bitch and every team has one

Niemi sucks but if he wants to suck for maybe 20 games for like a million dollars thats probably okay, at least Pittsburgh can give him enough goal support to win a few games in spite of his shittiness too. Actually 20 games is a lot and thats about as many back to backs as they have so he'd definitely be playing them ruh roh

i went to game 1 against the rangers last year and man was that game weird as gently caress going in. sullivan had been playing shell games with his goalies so nobody knew who was going to start and you could pretty much feel the confusion in the air, and the subsequent butt clenching when zatkoff took the net. it was cool as hell when the crowd rallied behind him though, and zatkoff winning the game (and hornqvist getting a hat trick) was a good clue that their regular season magic wouldn't desert them in the playoffs that year.

eXXon posted:After taking a look at Marleau's stats over the last 3 years, he has not been especially good. Scoring rates peg him at a low-end second liner/good third liner getting largely undeserved first line minutes. He spent a bunch of time on the PK and was near league-worst in GA and CA/60 - almost as bad as Hyman, who has a completely undeserved reputation as a great PKer. Last season he barely managed to produce at a better rate than Komarov and Brown on the PP. When you think about it, Marleau's intangibles are actually perfectly suited to the Maple Leafs. Who else could better inculcate into the young ones the experience of spending your whole career playing for a blue team that, despite any hype surrounding them, manages to disappoint year after year?

rex rabidorum vires posted:They gave him a bunch of money and he's a hilarious defensive liability. His offence kind of makes up for it but he's the kind of player you get to fill out a blue line on a team that already has a few good defensemen already. Y'know, unlike the Red Wings. Maybe he'll teach their young guys how to win because apparently all the other old guys on the Wings already forgot how?? Good lord, I know the Penguins aren't a team that has a lot of margin for handing out bad contracts but Dumoulin is pretty easily worth what he's asking and the team's offer is a hilarious lowball. He's easily the best left handed D on the team and probably isn't far behind Schultz in terms of his value to the team in general.

They seem pretty boring but inoffensive I guess. It feels like they're really wasting a good opportunity, they made a deep playoff run and have probably never been more popular as a team so they come out with a pair of new jerseys that are totally unexciting.
