The other news 90 minutes into free agency is the Penguins agreeing to a one year deal with center Matt Cullen, agent Pat Morris confirms.
Jim Rutherford has had an obsession for months in bringing Matt Cullen back to the fold and Rutherford on Thursday talked the soon to be 42 year old about returning to Pittsburgh and Cullen informed the Penguins today he would sign a one year, $650,000.
While eyeing Cullen’s leadership, the Penguins gave assurances to Cullen he will start the season in their top-12. [/hide]
Signing Oleksiak to 1.7 leaves them with 1.88 left in cap. This is assuming Jarry/DeSmith is the backup. I don’t think that is good enough behinf Murray for this year. I’d take the extra money and see which of these guys (Andrej Palevec, Kari Lehtonen, Steve Mason) wants to sign 1 year deals for 1.5 and leave the 1 mill space for January trades.

Looking at the roster, i’m not sure I get why all the need for another LW…
Guentzel, Hagelin and Aston-Reese are LW locks imo. I think Rust can play both side, even though he is a right handed shot. If Rust stays on the right side, that bumps Sprong down to the 4th line RW which is a TERRIBLE move imo. Which ever of Sheahan, Cullen, Brassard moves to wing will most likely play LW as they are all left handed shots, as is Simon.
Depaoli, can you neuter Sam and prevent him from posting stupid videos that fuk up the layout? He can’t tell cause he has a 1990 Blackberry.
Zatkoff in the Del… shocking that a talent of that caliber had to go to Europe!
Jackasss eichel changing his number 15- to 9. Thinking 15 was bad luck.
Instead of admiting he is a fraud and a coach killer
What a fucken dumb fuckk.. near PPG last year, continues to grow. You’re such a fucken retard. If he was in Montreal he’d be the best player there by a fucken light year… twaat
Montreal would trade every player on their team for him.
No they wouldn’t, that would make them better. Lol.
Very true. It would also go against their zero center model.
He has bad puck luck in #15.
Some left wings available…
Patrick Maroon
Mike Cammalleri
Scott Hartnell
Jason Chimera
Scottie Upshall
Benoit Pouliot
Cody McLeod
Maroon may be the best option out there aside from a trade. I would still like to see the Pens land Skinner depending on what the asking price is.
Freedom 35 group?
We know how you like those older, retired men.
I’d go Maroon or Camalleri. I could never root for Hartnell, even though off the ice he’s a really nice guy.
I wonder what npl thinks of the links I posted earlier I bet he would disagree since he is a certified idiot
Lol at you trying to re-promote the links no one cares about.
Can’t admit the truth .
Your idea of the truth is that Martin St. Louis put up 90+ points last year.
What has you comment have to do with Florida suckss this shows you are an idiot and have always an agenda on me an no matter what I say you come up with something I am 100% convinced you are stan. It can’t be more then 1 idiot like him on this small site. Just impossible
Well, you’re an illiterate moron and no one cares what you think. And what does Florida have to do with hockey, which is what this page is about? Your pathetic excuse for a hockey program has no chance at winning, so you act like you’re a pens fan. Your province sucks, so you cry about Florida because you’re jealous of everyone who lives there and the States in general. Keep crying, pu$$yboy.
I thought you said Carramrod was Stan?
Must have a few accounts but closest of resemblance stan and tbj both stupid bother bring nothing other than always replying others comments by putting them down can’t have 2 same type morons on this small site
Coincidence the minute D allowed multiple thumbs down stan character disapeared . Specially that was stand favourite thing to do. Tbj just closed his other account because he didn’t need it anymore. And because he had 2 accounts he accused everyone having multiple accounts
Aren’t we ever going to get a new article!!!
About what?
About jagr coming back to Pittsburgh so you.can start drooling
You’re the only one here that only likes players over 35.
Guys, lets trade Sid for prospects. We dont need 5 centers.
Let’s also pay a 34 year old goalie with a horrendous playoff track record almost twice as much as a 23 year old with 2 cups.
Leafs sign Ennis. Stop drooling Sam. Sam, you think we can sign Boll to replace Reaves? I’ll await your astute answer.
Mario is very close with Tie Domi, maybe he can convince him to come out of retirement.
Rumour has the Pens chasing a “Euro” Free agent, what ever the fuckk that means. From the guys at PGH Hockey Now
Jan Kovar is a name that has surfaced
If it is him… IF HE IS AS ADVERTISED he probably signs elsewhere as the Pens have had shit luck with this sort of transaction. If he is gonna flounder he probably signs with the Pens lol
Disregard.. Guy is likely a fulltime C; some places had him listed as a FWD, one that could play multiple positions but now chatter is he excels as a C
pesonen ?
Sergei Plotnikov ?
Alex Burrows just retired. JR should sign him.
Sam’s drooling already.
And got hired right away by laval rockets as assistant coach
Premier Hockey Coverage.
Sam still has a sizeable lead, but Dustin really is working on closing the significant gap between the two of them for Dumbest Fn Person on the board.
Says the biggest idiot on the board who’s never played, coached or i’d bet even watched a hockey game.
So youre implying that you’ve played, coached, and watched hockey – but still clearly dont understand it? That just proves youre dumb, lol. Lets keep going, we’ll get this gap between you and Sam closed quickly.
Pass the popcorn. This is getting good.
No popcorn, sam isnt allowed to eat anything small enough to get lodged in his nose or ear
Coming from a guy that lives in Florida

Npl Lied to his Ex
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l5npN-kBeU
That’s 13,768 consecutive links posted that no one has watched.
Florida is an overrated shitholee.
Apparently it’s one of the dumbest state in the U.S
Is Trump your editor?
Bazzinga!
You realize that Florida is vital for Trump winning again right?
He’s spiteful of every American and every area, from Flint to Florida, because he isn’t a part of it and will never be accepted.
Oleksiak filed for arbitrarion today. Last date for cases is aug 4th, so we’ll know his cap hit before then. Projections are around $1.7 mill.
That should leave them with about $3 million in cap space I think and JR always reserves $1 million just in case it is needed at the trade deadline.
Sounds good actually. He was up and down last year depending on partner but so was Nisky his 1st year as a Penguin. Hoping camp will help him build on what was a decent turn around vs his floundering in Dallas. It will probably only be a 1 year deal but if JR can work some of that magic and lock him up for 2 years… kind of a bridge, around that AAV it would be nice
I tough players take discount to play here
I don’t want Skinner.
I’d rather trade Brassard for prospects and picks. I’m fine with the team as constructed +1 4th line winger.
Having Sheahan and Cullen has your third and fourth line centers are not going to win you shit. This team is in win now mode, there is no way Brassard will be trades for prospects and picks. That means that JR has given up on now and is planing for the future. They still need another LW and a true second pairing defender. JJ is not it. A real back up goalie would also be nice.
They need an all star team in September?
So trade away a top three center so come the trade deadline you will most defiantly be looking for another one, again. Good idea. You do realize getting off to a shit start last year costed the Pens the Metro which in turn could have changed certain outcomes.
He can’t know that part when pens were struggling early he stopped watching he only picked up once they made the playoffs
I follow more closely after Sid comes back from vacation.
Except they finished 2nd in both 2016 and 2017 when they won the cup. Philly was a weaker team who we struggled less with than Columbus….who purposely tanked to avoid Pittsburgh. So ya, Pens may have lost 1st round.
You can bitchh and moan to me on this board all you want. Cullen was signed to play 4c, not wing. Sheahan is going to play 3c and that bumps Brassard out. My bigger concern is that the team needs to get guys like Sprong and ZAR on the ice as much as possible til January to see what they got.
Brassard and Sheahan will be switching back and forth between wing and center to see what sticks. If the Cullen experiment fails, he will be the odd man out. For $650,000 it will be an easy choice. This is probably his last season anyway.
Drool baby drool
Brassard for prospects and picks. Thats Sam-level retardation right there.
If Brassard struggles early and still looks like a failed experiment at 3 million for 1 year he could be easily flipped for whatever. At his age people will still see him as a decent asset that just didnt work out as a 3rd liner. Trading him now just cuz is fucken retarded ESPECIALLY if you are not gonna add another strong roster spot player. You don’t trade the guy! It is incredible how many people have written this guy off. Neal was shit for the team when he joined… we can debate how he would ghost late in the… Read more »
Brassard is a #2 center….I don’t think it’s gonna work here. I don’t blame JR for making the trade, he got the best center available for a team that needed one.
He’s damn good, he’ll get a good return.
Nash is still out there. Sam drools over his 34 points and thinks he is good value at 7 million, so maybe Montreal will give him a nice deal. He fits their 0 center model.
Ottawa, Rangers and Tampa may be doing a threeway trade for Karlsson.
If that’s only on HB, it’s hard to take anything they say even remotely seriously. They have had EK linked to at least a dozen teams.
I’m sure fraud Ryan will be in that mix
Duclair one year with the jackets for 650k.
Fuck him!
Damn, he signed for nothing. Wonder if we even made an offer.
So everyone is guessing JR has another move to make… if it’s not Duclair then what? Max Pac? Skinner? Duclair at that price was low risk high reward with no roster impact… if they didn’t offer I don’t know what the fuckk they are doing
There are rumors floating around about a trade involving Brassard for Max Pac
I think Brassard would fit in nicely next year, but I’d love to see Patches here. IMO we need a left wing more than a center. It would be interesting to see who played with who.
I’m curious as to what exactly it would cost to acquire him. If it’s a sign and trade, id be willing to part with Brassard or sprong
Once again drooling.
Like you over anyone over the age of 35 and on the verge of retirement? Malkin back in Russia yet, chubster?
Seen those, haven’t seen anything credible around it so I’m guessing it’s more fan based claims because we should be looking at Brassard under the 20 games as a Pens lens
Seen Montreal based pages that figure Sprong and a 1st would be involved in a deal like that… yaaaa no! 3 million for Brassard is worth another camp. I’d rather not sell all that for another guy whose leaving at seasons end, they will already see Brassard walk, let’s not give away two more assets.
Fuckk max pac. He thinks his worth 8-9m. One of the reason kings didint get him and went with kovy.
P.S npl sucks
So does Florida
Florida must be the most overrated shitholee place in the states
Sam said Montreal was in on him, like anyone with any other options would play there.
No buddy all 700+ players want to play for pens every single free agent. That’s why most of the time pens can’t keep their guys back so much for wanting to stay in Pittsburgh
Well, guys have been on record taking discounts to come here. Even so, we’ve had enough to win 3 cups in the past 9 years, something you frogs can’t even begin to imagine.
Discounts lol nice one Niskanen, orpig, Malone, gonchar, to name a few they all left for more money.
Sam is expecting big things from Nic Lidstrom this year. Sign him Pens!
Signing bonus laden deals… protection against work stoppages. We were asking about why the Tavares deal looks the way it does (as well as several others) these bonuses are generally guaranteed so if the league locks out these guys still get paid.
Remember these lockout proof deals when we see both sides dig in at the next disputed CBA! With players protecting their income they have little to lose by both sides screwing the fans over. Nice to see management play into their hands on this.
Been noticing that also I expect a strike shorten season again coming down the pike. Thank god for the EPL and Bundesliga.
Webber out until mid-December. He’s doing everything he can to stay away from the Bell Museum.
Karlsson to Tampa
Not Montreal?
I’d figure Sid and Karlsson would be a package deal. Sam saw Sid in his Montreal pj’s, so it’s bound to happen eventually.
Dude get lost
I bet pens lose 5 games in a row and you’d stop watching them for the season
Kind of like how you will ghost after Crosby retires?
He stopped watching after Fleury was traded.
After Fleury was thrown away*
No, my expectations lowered, but I continued to watch as many games as I could.
Why, because of losing? I’ve had Pitt Football season tickets for about 15 years now….which should tell you that losing doesn’t affect my ability to be a fan for a team.
Same here it will turn around some day.
This isn’t a done deal right?
No its npl drooling for his favourite team
Who drooled this mess into their keyboard?
“Mark my words if sid is healthy he will go play for habs some day end of his career the way you saw JT in leafs pj sid was same with habs pj growing up”
Actually, as a Pens fan, this would suck. That’s a damn good top 4 with Karlsson.
Karlsson started following Stamkos on Twitter.
Weber out 5 to 6 months after knee surgery. Wow that trade looks better everyday…. If you live in Nashville.
But hey… Subban “had an attitude problem”
Yup, they hate him in Nashville. Patrick Roy was also a big problem in Montreal too. Lol.
By the time he comes back Montreal will be long out of the playoff race.
Any other camp invites D hearing about? Need more dephth imo. Notable names out there
Goalie:
Andrej Palevec
Kari Lehtonen
Steve Mason
Defense:
Josh Gorges
Tobias Enstrom
Luca Sbisa
Cody Franson
Wingers:
Anthony Duclair
Alex Burrows
Mike Cammalleri
Pat Maroon
Benoit Pouliot
Alex Chiasson
Drew Stafford
Chris Stewart
Kris Versteeg
Scott Hartnell (vomit)
Sam would like to add Marian Hossa to that list
I’m suprised he’s not calling for Joffrey Lupul, Ryan Clowe and Jaromir Jagr.
I went to watch the new purge movie ha they were giving poor people money to purge. Man if day came to purge I’d purge for free I’d drive go florida and kill all the useless fat fuckks that don’t work and are leaches on the government money. They eat a lot food so those for me are useless
Well, good thing you don’t have a car, passport, money, friends to help you, an IQ north of 50, the mental capacity to do any harm to anyone and the ability to live for a day without your mom’s support.
And why does he care about what our government does? It doesn’t effect him at all
He’s a lonely piece of trash with nothing better to do.
You enjoy trash TV hey… creep van… purge movies lol. End of the day no one gives a fuck and if you found yourself in FLA, sure that’s open carry, you’d shit yourself at the sight of your first AR15 lol! Keyboard warrior lol!
Your lucky… it isn’t! It’s concealed but… deal with that game of Russian Roulette 😉
*you’re… getting real tired of apples gibberish
I can’t believe I paid for this website
You get the chance to write and thumbs up other people’s comments
And if you pay twice, as the board idiot chubster has done, you can even thumbs up your own comments.
Sucker
Npl sucks
So does Florida
One of the biggest overrated shitholee in the world
Today has to be Phil Kessel’s favorite day of the year.
2018 winner joey chestnuts 64 hot dogs
Npl must be proud of him
74… you managed to screw this up too!!!
Pascal Dupuis was Sams choice for Conn Smythe in 2016 #RickNash #MartyStLouis
Hey npl can you tell us.
What time is your idols event happening today ?
Not sure what Trudeau’s plans are for the 4th.
You must love trudeau since he constantly pushes the trans gender agenda. Makes guy feel comfortable
Equal rights is an agenda?
What are they denied?
General acceptance, you have a large component of the existing government that is dying to overturn their marriage rights. The Evangicals in the US that tend to fuckk everything that move when their wives blink are working to “protect the sanctity of marriage” as defined by an archaic scripture (change Xtain to Islam and these same groups freak the fuckk out).
Ignoring there is still a way to go because if progressive moves made recently don’t mean that there isn’t more work to be done.
Dont worry in 10 years Canada will be a Muslim country. Trudeau is on the right track to please you and your kind of people
You mean human beings? Tell me about Islam, the nuances of it, sects, schisms, what issues surround it in general today and why? I would love to hear your thoughts on this and any other Abrahamic cultural myth you are feeling giddy about! Contrast it with modern day xtianity…
That’s what I thought, now shit the fuckk up!
Happy Independence Day to all you wanna be Americans.
Happy hot dog day to all you fat Americans
(Go joey go)
Look at you, giving yourself 5 thumbs up. I’m assuming you count those as 5 imaginary friends?
He learned it from watching his mom… no less than 5
Karlson MAY be headed to Dallas.
No one was a bigger Lemieux fan between 1997-2000 than Sam.
With Yakupov no longer an option, Sam thinks Pens should try to sign Michel Ouellet
Dude get lost already
If i retire from this website, you’ll only want me more.
Bad business move by D to allow the multiple thumbs up/down. Now Sam doesn’t need 2 accounts anymore and his mom can cancel her other one.
Bye bye yakupov. You wont be missed
LOL, weren’t you talking about signing him a day or two ago?
Sam has his fingers crossed for the Sedin twins to sign with the Pens.
“Players peak at age 37” – Sam the virginal bandwagon.
True that’s why you’ve alwahs drooled over jagr and doan. Keep up the good work buddy
Jack Johnson and Matt Cullen help… but we need another defense man a top 4 guy so Johnson can play with Matta. Sheahan or Brassard can go to wing preferably SHEAHAN —cullen can play 4th line minutes but we need more defense
Best move pens did this summer was getting rid of TK2.0. Sheary
Second best, not going after Nash was their best move by far
The big question Mark for pens is in goal more then defence and offence
Defence here and there can manage playing good
Offence as long as we have our power play specialists rolling we are fine.
What’s pens need is a good backup goalie and make sure fraud Murray finally plays 1 full season that’s what pens need
Who is Mark?
I don’t know but you should run out and buy his jersey. Beat the rush.
I did not hit her, it’s not true! It’s bullshit! I did not hit her!
I did *not*. Oh hi, Mark.
Actually, I agree with that.
Thats just it they can’t just here and there play good defense like they did in the back to back cups..They can’t lock it down anymore… letang first of all sucked…we don’t have defensive depth anymore! Signing UFA 27 year old top 4 d-MAN john moore WOULD HAVE DONE THE TRICK. He signed WITH Boston 5 years $2.75 AAV WHERE JOHN SON 31 SIGNED FOR $3.25! IF WE GOT BOTH THEN MOVE SLOW FOOTED OLLI MATTA WOW.!
LETANG DUMOLIN SCHULTZ MOORE JOHNSON OLIESIAK
Moore is the fix? Statistically speaking he is no better than Johnson, another career minus with twice the penchant to give the puck away. From a position stand point he has been a 5/6 guy most of his career hitting 20 minutes of ice for the 1st time in his life last season for a team that had poor defence. Guy is a strong skater but lacks a lot of offensive ability so he could hamper the break out. An argument can be made he is better in his own end than Johnson sure but for the extra half million… Read more »
So how many multiple and fake accounts are on this site?
Well stan all I can say
Npl and tbj for sure
Some people had 2 accounts just to give thumbs down and some like npl are stupid enough that got stuck with name sam and can’t change back to npl10 anymore. Unless he really wanted to change to sam since he is in relationship with micheal sam. That I dont know you’d have to ask fatso over there
I am.
Jesus, you literally have at least 2-3 accounts, before the multiple thumbs ups were allowed every single post you made got an automatic +2 and everyone you don’t get along with got an automatic -2… we are not as stupid as you are, it was an easy deduction to make
You still think I am this Stan person.
Duclair down to Pens and Habs?
Yeah. Habs are hard on him and use domi to influence him
Hopefully he’s tired of playing for garbage, he’d be a nice add for the Pens
With rags too be wasn’t that impressive. His been good at junior level but nhl something blocking him. Hope he cracks that. He is the best potential black player out there
What does him being black have anything to do with anything. He is a kid with a ton of scoring potential that is slowly running out of time to make it work. His game would be complimented in Pittsburgh and the stable of scoring would remove pressure on him so he could just focus on his game. In Montreal he would be asked to help augment what little offence they have. Pittsburgh would be the better opportunity for him to grow pressure off but Montreal would afford him the icetime because they have very little their right now.
Hope he doesn’t come to pens. Because npl will start his black cockss matter movement here on this site
Why would anyone consider the Habs? Who wants to play for a trainwreck of an organization. They will not be a playoff team for years.
Take Crosby out of Pittsburgh team is a trainwreck
Imagine sid didint play last year’s playoffs they wouldve been out first round in 4 games
Jake looked good because of sid
Other then that team was horrible in the playoffs
If it wasn’t the old system sid woukdve been Ufa and probably went to Montreal the way tavares did for Toronto. Sid favourite team is habs and his dad was drafted by the habs. Mark my words if sid is healthy he will go play for habs some day end of his career the way you saw JT in leafs pj sid was same with habs pj growing up
Man sit down and finish your poutine! Lay off the Molson Dry too!
Go choke on a hot dog or something
Sid hates Montreal. Everybody knows that.
Sam Sandusky, please stop talking about little boys in their PJ’s.
Fuck off! Here is the same transparency we usually get from this idiot. Hes a fucken Habs fan that is only here for the Croz! Beat it you fucken loser
You might be on to something here. Try again in English and then we’ll decide.
Better then being out if the playoffs in November.
HAHAHA… so remove the teams best player and they struggle? Should be true for a lot of teams… that said, It’s hilarious that the Penguins record without Crosby in this era is quite good.
The Pens historical record as reported last May without Crosby was 101-56-19… That was given to the fans the night before they beat Washington without Crosby in the line up when Niskanen took him out.
Guaranteed roster spot on Habs. With pens he’d have to battle. It’ll say a lot about him which way he decides. Hope its the Pens.
#BlackCocksMatter
If you say so.
Duclair would be a nice fit young and speed…. hope i see him pick Pittsburgh
Sam didnt want Cullen this year. He wants him next year when he retires. #RickNash #MartyStLouis
I agree with Sam. NPL and D are the same person. Took a while, but he figured it out.
Sam is a spy.
Islanders sign 1 year Coonhackl
The guy was good pk guy
Cole gone too
Now let’s hope our Russian takes less dumb penalties this year. His been leading the team 3 season in a row in that category
Pens PK was garbage this year so… FWIW I guess
Sens gave permission to teams fo talk to karlsson camp
Neal 5 years
$ 28.75m with flames
No Neal. No perron. Expect Vegas go after karlson and fraudy Ryan
Look at you, talking to yourself because you have no friends. #virginalbandwagon
Torts is right. Rutherford needs to keep his mouth shut.
Torts hates the pens the way trump hates trudeau
Honestly JJ is a loser when team try to help him he shitss on them typical arrogant wonder why
The away JJ having a pj party at sids place. I’m sure scum sully will do the same over torts place discussing about the situation in pjs
P.S
Npl sucks
So does Florida
If I would nuke 3 places in US
Would be California new York and florida. Those 3 places pollute and ruin the country and the world. With their presence, arrogance and morals of living life.
I would say Detroit, flint too but it’s already a shitholee no need
Could be worse. Could be Quebec.
You wanted him
Canadians*
Sure thing. If you side with a fuckin cry baby like Torts then maybe you should keep your mouth shut!
Take your fanboy underwear off. The general manager of a professional sports team should not be making public comments about another franchise’s management of a player.
I’d say loosen up your bra tits magits. Tit for tat little one! Can’t handle the heat then get the fuck out of the kitchen!
Makes sense.
It was pretty unprofessional of GMJR. He basically blamed coaching and the front office for JJ playing poorly. In reality, he just isn’t that good. Bottom line, GMJR didn’t choose Business Ethics.
This is a double edged sword. GMJR is trying to sell this signing to the fans by blaming JJ’s terrible play on the CBJ management but at the same time he should not be bashing another franchise for the way they run their team. Torts was correct in defending his francise. If they believe JJ was a good signing let him prove it on the ice. I still think this was a terrible move and he will either be waved when the Seattle draft comes into play, bought out after 2 years or traded along with another player as the… Read more »
GMJR is senile. Shouldn’t call out an organization. Pens talk about being a classy organization, they showed no class on this one. Take the high road. The past is the past. I don’t think JJ will do a thing with us. We could have dumpster dived for a cheaper bottom 6 defenseman.
Wow npl brought a lot to this site today. He must be proud with all the thumbs down that he generated today
Coincidence every time D is not here npl is not here.
Today npl was here for few minutes and we got a new article .
When will pens get doan and saad
Pens signed 4 years contract extension to smiths hot dog. In order to make kessel happy
Does Cullens SS benefits count toward our cap space?
LeBron to LA Lakers!!
No one saw that coming lol.
Kobe coming out of retirement joining lakers lol
4 years $154m
Was Duclair signed by anyone ?
Habs might sign him heard they have an interest and is domi friend
Have a gander at the new RW article. Hilarious shit!
Did I miss when Kunitz signed with the Hawks.
Ya, earlier today. They announced him, cam ward and brandon manning at the same time.
Sam announced it 3 hours after it was made official.
Yeah if you wouldn’t be busy giving thumbs down to people and read then comments you would’ve seen in Ds previous article
I am not the one giving massive thumbs down to people. Nice try though.
O’Reilly to Blues.
no Sheahan moves to wing….and we aren’t dealing Brassard….
Cullen signing makes sense. Brassard to wing or depth when brassard and/or Sheahan are moved at deadline.
I think Brassard is moved before camp. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Skinner coming as a return if Carolina eats cap.
Rumors were that Tristen Jarry would be involved in a trade for Skinner.
Jarry and Brassard for 1 year of Skinner seems a lil steep. Better get a draft pick back…like a 2nd.
Look at Dustin drooling
Over Skinner? I don’t like him as a player, he’s too soft and not as skilled as a Kessel to play that way. Why are you incapable of talking fair trade value even if it’s for a player you don’t like?
Because that is not the Montreal way.
WE DONT NEED SKINNER WE HAVE ENOUGH GUYS LIKE HIM ESPECIALLY AT $5.75 AND A UFA OR RFA NEXT SEASON CMON BOYS..
Hockey News says Habs are interested in Brassard.
Domi plus for Brassard???????
Crosby is happy JJ “chose” the Penguins. Was anyone else stupid enough to offer him a five year deal?
I bet he will have a pj party at sids house for the first year since he is broke
Another swing and horrible miss.
JJ looks like a HUGE bargain when Cole signs for 4.25 for 3.
This signing isn’t awful… many d-man and others have flourished in Pittsburgh..Sheahan, Schultz, Oliesiak, Daley, Cole under Gonchar’s tutilidge.. but JOHN Moore A free agent UFA FROM new jersey, 27 is better all around than Johnson signed for $2.75 million Average for 5 years..Boston
Move olli Matta..sign forward Anthony duclair and d-man Colin miller from vegas! This guy has a cannon shot and is solid on defense……..shot like Schultz maybe better
Funny stats perron going back to blues for the 3rd time and all 5 times he had contract extension done was with the blues and not with other teams lol
Komarov to islanders
Duclair to sign with habs
Pittsburgh signed forward Jimmy Hayes, defensemen Zach Trotman and Stefan Elliott, and goaltender John Muse.
who, who, who and what !
Sam used to drool for Jimmy Hayes in hopes that it would help us land Kevin Hayes. He played in Florida a bit, might stick around on the 4th or play ahl.
Well John Muse will “inspire” MM.
Mrazek to Carolina.
Sorry Sam.
Darling and Mrazek. Yikes!
Pens going with 5 center model. That 3rd line of Sheahan-Brassard-Horny will surely scare the daylights out of people.
I guess today’s overpaid happens to be an american again
JVR 5 years 35 a guy that will probably be injured often
Leafs sign josh jooris
Pens have 5 centre. Who will they trade to habs the russian lol
Oreilly possible to go to isles or habs
Tavares contract
year 1 $650k $15.25m signing bonus
Year 2 910k. $ 15.25m signing bonus

Watch every team imitate this and bettman change the rules
What’s the cap gain on making it all bonus vs salary?
It may be tax loopholes
Tax loopholes and will help team to go over their salary cap wilds done that and Webber contract was like that too at first but none suter,webber or fraud parise had a salary less then a million a year this strategy will backfire down the road if teams start abusing imagine pens do with kessel letang Crosby and malkin. And have a lot of space in cap and get more players and be Pittsburgh eastern all Star team lol
I have no idea what you just said
They don’t tax bonuses in Canada?
They don’t tax when you won a lottery tickets as well but they tax fat people eating at fast food restaurants
id say signing bonus is gaurenteed? paid whether or not there is a lockout. just a guess
Also garanty if ever contract gets bought out and goes to other team he has to be paid those bonus moneys
Montreal signed Tomas Plekanec, Xavier Ouellet and Kenny Agostino. Impressive haul by Bergevin.
wHAT a good haul really….THEY GAVE AWAY PLEKANICS, WHO IS qUELLET, AND AGOSTINO?
Halak to bruins
Suck on these tontons Same!
Since 09 pens been the team that brings back their ex players.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if they bring back bone head James neal
Some clowns love him and malkin wants a Russian winger brining his dumb friend he would shut up and team up to sabotage pens games night in and night out. And no Coonhakl a good pk guy.
James Neal is Canadian, not Russian.
And s team that’s won 3 cups in that span (counting that year) so I guess it’s not a bad thing
Yeah because pens won 16-17 with ex pens players right. .since 09 everytime they brought back team didnt win
I know they still gotta pay Oleksiak, but as of now, they still have about 3.5 mill left. The 4th line is imo weak with ZAR and Simon on the wings. Kick the tires on Maroon, Ward, Pouliot, Versteeg and see if they want 1 year, 1.25 mil deals.
They could have had Tobias reider super fast 25 year old German scored 16 goals two years ago he signed for $2 million 1 year edmonton…
Grabber to coyotes. Rothey
At least he didn’t go to a division rival
2 hours later, Sam finds out about Grabner
Grabber!
Richard Grabber?
Laugh me off the boards but I’m predicting somehow we get Karlsson
If pens take karlsson they have to take bum ryan too which they can’t.
Vegas will be taking them
why Karlsson he is worse than letang defensively…please you are a mess…
5 center model ??
Dat a boy GMJR!!!!
Sam, you forgot to sign back in under your other name.
Suck on these tontons biaaaatch!
Rutherford: “I’m happy going into opening night with what we have but I’m not going to just close the door on the trade market. I think over the next 2-4 weeks you see more trades across the league.”
The D still sucks and nothing good was added a 41 year old C is not going to solve that lack of secondary scoring. Just because you drafted people does not mean you need to sign them years later
I can’t believe i’m gonna say this, but they have the parts to have a really strong defensive team. The problem, and it’s a huge one is Kris Letang. His game us dropping and droppig rapidly. He’s out there for 25 minutes a game, which pretty much exposes him and the D for 50% of the game. I don’t know how you fix him.
All they need now is Doan and St.Louis and Sam gets the 4th line he always drooled about!
JR does release that players actually get older!!!!!
Why?! Why?! And FUCK why??!!!
Locker room presence.
Wonder if those Penguin trade rumors were about Brassard?
This is JR’s idea of revamping a win now team? They just got older and slower and added a terrible 5 year contract.
They won a stanley cup 2 years ago and were a contendor this year again but had a brutal schedule and ran out of gas. Why wohld they need to revamp the team?
Apparently JT turned down 13m with sharks
JT will also get bonus
Yes another ex penguins nice so now pens can stop leafs
Why?
