Penguins/NHL
Penguins lock up Dumoulin for 6 more years
Deadlines almost always lead to settlements and that has played out between the Penguins and defenseman Brian Dumoulin ahead of today’s arbitration hearing.
[hide]
Dumoulin and the Penguins have agreed to a new six year contract worth $24.6 million.
The deal begins for the 2017-18 season and runs through the 2022-23 season, and has an average annual value of $4.1 million.
The Penguins now have five of their top six defenseman under contract for at least the next three seasons:
Brian Dumoulin – 6 seasons
Ollie Maatta – 5 seasons
Kris Letang – 6 seasons
Justin Schultz – 3 seasons
Matt Hunwick – 3 seasons
Ian Cole is under contract for just one more season.
The Penguins always had this type of framework in mind when opening negotiations with Dumoulin last month but it took some time for the Dumoulin camp to move into the Penguins direction which happened over the weekend as the arbitration hearing inches closed and Pittsburgh had leverage if the two sides would have went through with the hearing. [/hide]
Any update on Cullen? Camp starts in about a month and a half.
He didn’t decide until mid August last year. I’d use that as your barometer.
At least we’re getting updated Pirates scores.
Another signing that D was all over, right subscribers?
I’m sure he’ll have the proper timestamp on his instany buzz.
Fair deal for Sheary.
Given the limited amount of time that he’s performed like he has, i agree. But it’ll end up being a steal.
Still have over 3 million in cap space as well. Hopefully we can figure something out at center.
The only way that number might be a little misleading is that it doesn’t include Pouliot, who’s also on a one-way deal.
Great deal, I’m glad it worked out at pretty much a rate that I had been eyeballing.
Now you may continue drooling over TK 2.0
Another made up comparison by sam the virginal bandwagon know nothing and make it up as he goes along man.
Better that then Marty St Louis in pittsburgh 2.0 you dumb fuckk
Or traded on his 3rd year of his contract once pens realize he is nothing but a tk 2.0 and be like tk retired at age 30 just like same said minute he was traded he will be bounced one or 2 teams and be retired by 30 while some here drooled over his one dimensional skills. Right gaydogg? How’s tk and his top 6 forward potential doing.
This is what everyone wants – analysis from a guy that just makes things up, and then when he gets called out and proven to be wrong, he hides for two weeks and barely posts because he can’t handle the fact that people called him on his bullshitt. The virginal bandwagon man!
You know democrats are in trouble when kid rock is winning. Hahahaha
Love kid Rock my favorite singer
He would be. You’re both garbage. He’s a fake a$$ biitch that will sing whatever to make a dime. He’s a wannabe hardass that weighs like 150 and cries shittty wannabe country music into a microphone because everyone stopped listening to his rock music. Another swing and miss for the virginal bandwagon.
Stick to your lady kaka music you.
That figures, guy has sold out more often than your mother haha
Looking forward to the Jones fight tonight. Got him and Woodley in a parlay. Hopefully he isn’t too rusty. And watching women fight is annoying. They should have their own card.
Apparently some crazy oilers fan got a mcdavid tattoo. Is that you zeroTool?
Why would an Oiler fan get a tattoo of McDavid on them when it’s been well established by you he plays in vancouver?
Frog Sam couldn’t even get the right team!
The virginal know nothing bandwagon man!
My Ladd Hudler tattoo is better.
So RyJo got $8M putting up TK 2.0 level production. Hmmmm
Canadians not being over paid and taking hometown discounts for the betterment of the team is rampant and this deal couldn’t be better evidence of such haha 😉
Yes sammich, I’m making fun of you!
Scroll down sammich, I want you to read how fucken dumb you are again…
RyJo knows the worth you money
Damn, whitehead and wirginis for 3 games, Bookser for 1 and blair thrown off the team. Gonna be a rough start for Pitt.
Yeah. Tough to see. I haven’t been following Pitt as much this offseason, but they lost a lot and this kind of stuff really hurts a program like that.
Just when the secondary was about to make the turn with kids like Paris Ford (maybe), Damar Hamlin, Therran Coleman, Avonte Maddox, Phil Campbell, Bricen Garner…..whitehead gives them a kick to the nuts.
@PSU and home against ok state, which makes it that much worse
Hopefully coach Narduzzi who is in charge and if it has to be then its a step in right direction. We will probably never know why but maybe it was time to get control.
Penguins, Dumoulin strike 6 year deal
Crazy. I saw it coming last Monday though.
Nice article on Hagelin by Wilson. He doesn’t have a bad cap hit, but paying someone with his production when you have a lot of depth at that position could be considered a luxury. You have sheary up who will be requiring a similar price tag, who also has good speed, has been shown to produce and has slotted into a top 6 role. 4 million isn’t a huge price tag, but it could prove to be very helpful if moved in creating space for a 3c.
Haggy on 3 line with his salary it’s bad but compare to chubby on 3rd line it’s good
Kessel had more goals than Hagelin had points last year you stupid fucken dogshit eating cunthole!
You are right Mr Box Score. I hope he had more goals then haggy why he has the chance to play on first pp unit give him more chance to score goals but you wannabe American brain is based on box score not how player is used. Compare him with your ex drooler Doan before last year he had more goals then chubby with half his salary
You’re a retard, you think Kessels production, which is within his career… CAREER averages is a product of power play time? You really don’t know **** all at all.
As for Doan? I addressed that below you dumb fucken cuntt, I’m one of the most opposed to him as a player anywhere in hockey period. You were literally chanting his name when the team landed Kessel. Whining about similar goal production but liking Doan because he’s a better, Canadian, player. We all seen this shitt you stupid frog moron! In fact you just did it again lol
I also addressed the concept of regular appearance on a box score genius. You do realize that the point of the game is to score right?
Give it up sam. Nobody listens. Especially after you were proven to just make things up. You frog liar.
Well, Kessel played on our second line (which is comparable to a lot of teams’ first ) and put up 70 points. Another swing and miss.
Sam the know nothing man! Can’t even get the lines right!
D’s been killing it lately with the content.
Last I checked, French Letang had his ankles broken by 43 year old Terrell Owens.
Last I checked you love black dickss
I’m sure this is as reliable as your TK 2.0 comparison, or the news that San Jose, Dallas and Tampa were hurting. People are tired of your lies. You should start at a new board where people still think you have a clue. That’s gone here.
Dude get lost. Go back behind the counter and sell some donuts
Dude why are you not getting lost? Everything you post is met with ridcule from everyone. Who would want to endure this if given the choice? Thats not even being mean, its just a fact.
Yeah when half the posters here left because of you and shitstain and most of the ones still here are the douchebags that supports your nonsenses tbj, gaydogg, zerotool to name a few
Since yoda left the regular hockey conversation has gone up immensely, when you are gone there also seems to be a little more of that conversation… that noted there are still a couple guys that are more your league of poster that ruffles feathers but at the end of the day you, and those like you are what derails conversation, always have. Especially when you consider all the posters you have named have repeatedly taken you to task on several subjects! The common denominator of the issue is people making matter of fact moronic statements… not questions, not conversation starting… Read more »
Sam thinks the board needs more people like him that just make things up and hide when it’s proven to be so obviously wrong. Good one sam the man that is still sucking on his mommys tits
Jaydogg isn’t even on here. That’s 687 consecutive swings and misses for the dumb frog.
Ahh sorry he has replaced gaydogg with CoachD ummy
Even if any of that wasnt fabricated, it still doesnt negate the fact that this cant be fun for you. Unless you are a masochist, who opts in to be relentlessly brutalized every single day?
“Outrageous unsupported claim” followed by “xenophobic/hyper nationalistic, bigoted remark” followed by “I know more than all of you” followed by “you guys are ruining this page” as he fucks up his own name. The reality is for sammich he really set his own table. Disagreements are fine but this guy has made having everyone turn on him then blaming the field into an art form lol
This is the kind of comments one makes when they’ve got no bullets let in the clip. You’re done sam the bullshitter that doesn’t know what he’s talking about and just makes it up as he goes along
What u guys think of Will butcher to pens
Here’s what I think:
Address this. Or stop posting.
“San Jose is the 13th most valuable team worth 470MM and net earnings of 7.1MM – Forbes
Dallas is the 12th most valuable team worth 500M and net earnings of 20.9MM – Forbes
NYI is down at 18th worth 385M buuut net earnings of 2.7MM
Tampa is not a valuable franchise per-say but did have net earnings of 3MM” -Me
You like french canadian bitcch.
Here is what I think get lost punk. Just because I was not precise about hockey ticket revenues you and few clowns mention about it all day you bunch of bored fat fuckss. Now Tell me why does Vegas Foley thinks he will have more ticket revenue than pens ?
Not precise! You were flat out 180 degrees wrong you fuckingg moron. 100%! You couldn’t look dumber, you fat fuckk.
People are surly this Friday haha
Conor Sheary is TK 2.0…hey – just cause he’s not precise about them being comparable in any way doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s talking about! Fuckk right the hell off.
pretty sure he thinks Kessel is TK 3.0 for that matter but what do I know… I only judge Kessel off the fact that hes a near PPG depth player who helped bring two cups to the team lol
You run your fucken mouth matter of factly all the time then act like a fucken bitch when its thrown in your face. You have this bizarre belief that a boxscore is irrelevant, got news for you… when people show up on it all the fucken time its usually a sign they know how to play. Now fuckoff you frog loser
Here is a thought… new ticket in town and without the excitement of a pro sports franchise being shiney and new there is an immediate explosion of ticket sales HOWEVER being that it is Las Vegas it likely this is due to the hotels scooping them up to comp them to guests. The local population is under 650M so its not exactly a massive city. We will see how that continues to play out after we get an on ice product… if it’s even a legit claim as he could just be blowing smoke to sell the team you fucken… Read more »
He will want to make an immediate impact so it is unlikely he chooses a team with a developed top 4 like the Pens, he would have to work pretty hard to crack it. Chicago on the other hand just moved Hjarmalsson and is the largest NHL city near to where he grew up so you have to think they have the inside edge… Cap notwithstanding as they would struggle to get his entry level under the cap. That said, if he would take a shot with the Pens why would anyone scoff at it? There is a bit of… Read more »
As long as his immediate impact is immediate-ish, he’s fine. There’s frigging nothing in the pipeline here -he’d immediately be their number 1 defensive prospect.
That’s not what his agent is saying, Zero.
“That’s not what we’re looking to hear – that you can step right in,” Bartlett said. “Will’s a very grounded and bright kid. He’s been around the game a long time. His dad’s a coach. They really understand that they’re trying to build a career here. It’s not who can get him there the fastest. It’s really who’s got a plan for him to be an NHL player for a long time if he puts in the work.”
Well then I stand corrected, to be fair I was using the guys that have gone this route in the past as a judgement call but hey if the Pens are in the conversation… speak loudly Jim lol
Absolutely. Usually these guys don’t sign unless they’re all but guaranteed a spot in the National.
His agent also represents Wilson, Archibald and Rust.
“What will I miss the most? I think the gym will empty without me in Montreal.” – Andrei Markov. What a bunch of losers.
Hey sammich, looks like Markov is going home for good. Team didnt reach out to him and he only wanted to play for the only NHL team he has ever known. Classy… I mean it’s not like they have a great blueline to begin with. Bergevin is comedy lol
He’s a disaster. Them and the capitals have been a laughingstock this offseason. I guess as a Pens fan though, that’s a good thing.
Laughingstock only laughing stock is the majority of you bandwagons becoming penguins fans since Crosby joined the league before that how empty was the igloo? I bet shitstain has explanation for that
Address the post below or stop posting. You’re a dumb piece of garbage who doesn’t even root for the team this page covers. Address it or stfu.
There goes Sam projecting again!
Because your spoilers had amazing defense all those years. Since Pronger left it has been a shitholee just like the city. Oh and since oilers went cup finals how many coaches changed since?
Lol, I’m. Penguin fan you fucken moron… while we are on the subject tho do you honestly think that team isn’t gonna win soon genius?
There you go bad mouthing the spoon that feeds your poor ass useless province again
Here is another thing that will have sam running for the furniture when the lights come on. More analysis on the Sheary drop off late in the season
http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Ryan-Wilson/Why-did-Conor-Sheary-struggle-at-the-end-of-last-year/177/86631
Other reports last year suggested personal issues… smoke screen? or combination of both?
“After being a healthy scratch in the Ottawa series Conor Sheary returned for Game 7 against the Senators. In the seven games after his benching he played 99 minutes and had four even-strength points. His points per 60 was… 2.42. ” – Ryan Wilson
But muh eye test!
Ryan Wilson is pretty good. I’m surprised he can’t get a better gig than HockeyBuzz.
Agreed. And somehow he manages to come up with free, new content daily. What an idea!
D should hire him, the quality of the page would skyrocket and sammich may have to fuckoff because all the facts would be too confusing for him lol
These look like TK numbers to anyone else?
Murray with his excuses https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1339696-penguins-murray-sad-to-see-fleury-join-golden-knights
Wait, so the Pens have lost some key names, this is actually a fact, and you think it is some kind of excuse? I mean I am very happy we have a 2 time cup winning goaltender in net one more year more experienced but there are still concerns about a 3rd line C far better than say Brandon Sutter and ones about Letang playing more than 41 games this year. So I would say Murray is on to something Address this. Or stop posting. “San Jose is the 13th most valuable team worth 470MM and net earnings of 7.1MM… Read more »

July 17, 2017 – Tyler Bozak has put his downtown condo up for sale…. granted he could just be moving because of a hot market buuuut…
Based on the Dumo deal and the potential cost of Sheary it may start to feel like a pipe dream to land Bozak but he could be on the move. with only 1 year left on a 4.2 million dollar deal I wonder if that could be worked out in some manner
Must be the same pipe dream you once drooled about Doan
Address the post sam the fraud who doesn’t know what the fuckk he’s talking about and then hides like a frog bitchh when called on it
HAHA, I love how you attribute your own request for Shane Doan to me. I have been a hard no… actually I have been a “fuckk off Shane Doan” guy everytime his name has been mentioned. You, on the other hand, were all about rubbing his balls on your face when the team picked up Kessel.

“I bleed black and gold and always stick with the hometown team” – but also… “Go Yankees!”
So what are we realistically looking at? We have about 2 million after the Sheary signing to use towards a third line center. Using Maatta in a trade would open up 4 million, but I’m also wondering if any wings would be on the block due to our depth there. I would keep Hags at 4 since I’d imagine his stock is somewhat down due to his injury and porous production last year. I’d like to keep Guentzel, Kessel, Hornqvist and Reeves are locks to start the season here. Sheary will sign through arbitration, but I’m wondering if they will… Read more »
I think the answer is in Detroit. They are up against the cap with more players left to sign, and they have a few quality 3C options. Helm will probably be too much, especially since a salary cant go back to Detroit. Athanasiou is intriguing as a young, skilled skater with 2 way ability. Only issue is, thats the type of player Detroit should be keeping (young, skilled, cheap) to get out of their cap hell and still be effective.
Getting Athanasiou would be awesome. You’re right in saying they should be keeping him, but I’d give up a decent amount for him. Has great speed and a ton of potential. I actually like him more than larkin.
I am a big Sheary fan but if he and his agent decide to go for the big pay day as opposed to take a smaller bridge now and try and keep the team competitive I would not be against exploring trade options either. Dumo was important to keep and while I love Shearys game next to Sid I think the team depth at the wing gives us more options in this case.
He is American. What does he know about hometown discount. Let that fraud get overpaid and have his contract bought out down the road
Toews – Canadian/ 10.5M AAV
72gp / 21g / 58p / .80ppg
Sheary- American- 4M ~AAV
61gp / 23g / 53p / .87ppg
Seems like a major discount next to the leagues most overrated player, possibly ever.
just think too. Toews is Canadian so he gave Chicago a hometown discount unless Americans that doesn’t know anything about that kind of thing.
Toews pretty much ensured his team won’t be able to acquire anyone decent to help them win a cup. Also, nice to see the Habs bolster their D by grabbing up our 9th defenseman.
Shut the fuckk up you idiot lol
I AGREE TOTALLY WITH WHAT YOU ON HAVE SAID ON sHEARY’S GAME, ATTITUDE AND AGENT!..
Maata’s not getting traded, the coaches and FO love him even though he’s the current whipping boy of the fans. I’m not overly concerned with the cap space when looking at the 3C options because they will move a player like Hagelin(who will be the 1st to go in a salary dump if they need space) to clear up the needed space. As for the assets to acquire the 3C they’re definitely going to come from the surplus they have on wing. It’s really hard to pinpoint exactly who they may offer up without knowing who they’re targeting but I… Read more »
No to Staal and now we have 3 left handed defenseman. He’s the third best. It is known he was made available before, so why wouldn’t he be now after we just signed two defenseman to long term contracts? Him being a whipping boy of fans doesn’t matter. Him playing horrendous for the better part of two years and being paid over 4 million does.
Actually 4 considering Hunwick, who’s play wouldn’t be much of a drop off, if any, from maattas
When was it known that he was made available? Not saying it didn’t happen but I’m not recalling any reputable outlets saying he was made available. I do remember reading quite a bit about how much they loved him and planned on him being part of their future. I’ll be downright shocked if Maata is moved, especially before a player like Hagelin.
Olli Matta is solid but he is too slow for the system that Pittsburgh uses…he coughs the puck up way too much.
I would like to see The Penguins trade Olli Matta to Winnipeg for center Matthew Perreault. This guy can skate, has skill, and is a perfect fit for our third line. He will score 15 – 20 for the Penguins (upgrade offensively over Bonino) Plus their salaries are almost identical Matt $4.083 million Perreault $4.12 million and he is locked up for three more years. We have our four top d-men signed Dumolin, Letang, Schultz, Cole, we need some depth to pair with Rudewhel… Imagine Perreault hagelin hornqvist…Perreault can really skate
Then we have a large hole on the blue line….
In no way should Maata ever be traded straight up for a 3C unless you’re talking a Duchene or Staal caliber 3C. His value to the team is far higher than that.
IS IT…..MATTA IS GOOD BUT IF WE CAN GET THAT 3 RD LINE CENTER AND SIGN THIS HOBEY BAKER WINNER DEFENSE MAN FREE AGENT TO BE BUTCHER…..GO FOR IT….. DETROIT DOES HAVE 2 CENTERS IN SHEAHY or HELM would could probablyget with a pick not losing matta
Good signing.
I’m sure somewhere Npl is glued in front of his TV watching Trump live
I pulled a Sam the Bandwagon Man and closed the TV
You gotta know the worth you money.
I believe this is also relevant “but someone my panties are the ones all tight” – Simply!
D’s edit button goes away at times…..and i’m not that concerned with spelling errors.
Clearly.
Evidently, however spelling is the least of your concerns in that train wreck lol. It could not have been worse had it been written by D haha.
Address zero’s post or seriously, shut the Fuckk up. Tubby.
I wonder if locking him up long term makes Maatta a little more expendable. Sheary will cost around 4 this year anyway, which only leaves two, and that isn’t going to get you a third line center (not that there’s any ufas out there anyway).
I’ve wondered the same. Especially if they’d like to re-sign Cole.
Why do people have such a hard time with there/their/they’re and your/you’re?
What about to, two, and too
The real question is why does my “smart”phone have such a problem with it? More often than not my phone autocorrects it to the wrong context.
If the older, low scoring, possession nightmare Karl Alzner can get 4.6M AAV on the open market, (lol Canadiens) then Dumoulin at 4.1M should be considered a steal.
The reason it shouldn’t be considered a steal is that…unlike Alzner, he WASNT on the open market. That being said, it’s not a disaster either.
Steal was too strong a word. Lets go with valuable. I still think the open market rate is a factor since the Pens bought out 4 of his UFA years. Thats more for Dumoulin now, and potentially less later, while both sides receive cost-certainty.
It’s not awful. But if you’d have given him a 2 year bridge deal at a smaller cap hit, he signs for roughly the same 2 years from now. There’s just not much more upside there. But he’s a solid player. Not denying that.
Im guessing the Pens didnt think they could get Dumoulin for the same price after a 2 year bridge deal. If the market is currently 4.6M for a similar, yet older and less effective player, then theres reason to believe Dumoulin, whos still a young, improving player, could get 5M+ after his bridge deal. So while they might be paying a little more the next 2 years, there is potential for real savings in years 3-6.
I’m sure that’s their thinking too. Unless there’s reason to believe the cap is going up after being flat for 3 years (which there may well be), I don’t see it. Especially given the lack of upside with him. He just is what he is. Which is a really good thing. But his development doesn’t take him to some
Unforeseen level.
Agreed, what is an early overpayment will probably look genius in another year or two… unless he regresses then we are all fucked lol
Haha!
Brian Dumolin is extremely steady and just keeps getting better $4.1 is fair….
On is Ufa the other one rfa I guess you are dumb enough to know what’s a steal
Why, Sam? Please explain to all of us why the difference between UFA and RFA matters in this instance. I’ll wait…
Chubbster? Did you address Zero’s post? If not. Stop posting. Bitchh.
Top pairing shutdown defenseman get $4 million in Jee Bettman’s NHL. Good signing.
Jee Bettman
Guys like Daley and Hainsey are getting $3M per year on the open market. Dumo at $4M, playing a shutdown top 4 D role in his prime is a solid deal.
Again, ufas vs a guy that forfeited that right for arbitration. Not an equal comparison.
Just come back on April. This is not your department. All you are good for is eating and I doubt even guy know how to eat properly you Fat Slob
Oh Sam, you are so fucklng adorable when you try to piece together a sentence.
I like the signing look he is better all around than Olli Matta…good for the Penguins locking up a top 4 d-man….
Letang only has 5 years left on his contract, not 6 as shown above.
Like the signing but think it should have been closer to 3.5 per year especially giving security of term
solid signing.
Didn’t you bitchh about Schultz? Because all that this deal does is make that look infinitely more like a steal.
yeah I did bitchhh about Schultz and its highly unlikely I give 2 fuckks what you think or spew on here. there my opinions not yours. Schultz regresses any it makes his deal look awfully bad. end of story. I don’t post here too much because of idiots like yourself and the constant bashing people type. you don’t like what other people type, I wonder how you feel when your boss or boss’s tell you to do stuff there way. pound sand dipshiit
They’re stupid opinions not rooted in you’re fact. Ewe may not care, but it doesn’t make ewe any less hrong. Ewe don’t post here two offen because your outmatched. Dipzhit
maybe your skills are better suited for spelling bee’s. piss off
Poor guy is melting down. Back off guys. Dumoulin good. Schultz bad. Or Eric craps his dungarees
nobody is melting down here. this site isn’t worth crap to me, its second hand news. just somewhere to get a good laugh at the stuff you clowns type up.
Schultz is a good player but if he regresses then boy will that deal look like an elephant in the room. letang will be back and I for one will be happy to see 58 on the ice again. im glad dumo got a well deserved deal also. he is a big minutes eater and plays against top opponents lines.
No. Not melting. Melted. Past tense. Already happened you were already unhinged.
you are pathetic. I suppose your more than likely a democrat with zero views on life or whatsoever. prob apart of the group of people that blame some made up Russian hack job for the election as well. very laughable indeed.
Eric, would you be embarrassed to learn that your condescending tone is being undermined by your own error-ridden posts?
My more likely a democrat? That isn’t even English.
love this ignore feature. cannot even read either…
Probably for the best. A snowflake like you shouldn’t be able to read what people smarter than you are typing. You’re out of your element Donny.
This was a deflection of epic proportions it was also what we call a non-sequitur. It has zero to do with the discussion. There is a disagreement over Schultz and his contract therefore you are a democrat? WAT lol. The Schultz deal was terrific, if he regressed you could be vindicated but what are the real odds of a former 1st rounder that was high on everyones list to steal from Anaheim who took sometime to find his game because he played for a disaster in Edmonton just losing it at 26 years old? I would say the odds are… Read more »
It’s truely was an idiotic comment about Shultz, “a Shultz regression”- very embarrassing.
You can say any deal is potentially brutal if a guy “regresses any.” Thats a terrible argument, especially when talking about someone on Schultz’s current trajectory.
He doesn’t have a boss. He is a boss on its own .people like you work for his welfare paychecks
The Klefbom deal strikes again… I am glad they have Dumo locked up but its a bit of an overpayment. They still need to lock down Sheary and clearly that agent is quite shrewd. May have to move a body… Hags would be the odd man based on what he brings at 4 million. They still badly need a depth C on the 3rd line
Can Shinoix and Stan explain to me how “embarassing” it was for Dumo’s camp to ask for $4.35 a year? Last I checked, Dustin right again, Penguins look like morons with their $1.95 embarassing offer.
That was on a 1 year deal. With the current deal they got 4 years of UFA locked up so had to go higher.
^This
“The Penguins always had this type of framework in mind when opening negotiations last month” – Reads the 1.95 million was literally nothing more than an opening and is probably a move you see a lot when arbitration is a possibility
Oh, so stan and Shinoix are the new KingPuck and knew what framework the Penguins had in mind when they made their case at $1.95?
Pens treated this negotiation like the Pirates and all it did was piss off the player and the agent and Pens had to pay for it. Maybe if you’re fair from the getgo, you get him around 3.5 where he actually belongs.
Looks like we have another contestant throwing their hat in the ring for dumbest man on the planet.
YEAH THAT WOULD BE YOU DUMB ASS COACH dIPSHIT PIRATES ORGANIZATIONS SUCKS PERIOD/IM TALKING THE FRONT OFFICE,MANAGEMENT, AND OWNERSHIP.
THEY HAVE PUT TOGETHER A REALLY GOOD FARM SYSTEM WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT’S ABOUT IT. LIKE MOVING OUR SLOWEST OUTFIELDER TO LEFT TO COVER ALL THAT ROOM IN PNC POLANCO..FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT..JUST DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT…CRUCIFYING CUTCH IN THE OFF SEASON AND NOW LOOK HE IS BACK TO BEING AWESOME HE LIKE 40 NOT 100..
COUNTRY BUMPKIN HURDLE HAS TO GO TO…HE IS A MESS
Don’t ever compare the Pittsburgh Penguins to that baseball team the Pirates…can’t even assosiate the cities name with that franchise. i was born and raised in Pittsburgh so tired of crappy baseball. 3 winning seasons in 25 years and revolving ownership that just doesn’t care..Go Yankees. I bleed black and gold and will always stick with my home town team (win/lose)even though i live in Los Angeles now…The Steelers and Penguins will always try to win and improve that other team not so much..I just can’t tolerate not even trying to compete they are a mid size market not small… Read more »
What an odd rant from a guy who claims to “bleed black and gold and always stick with the hometown team… Go Yankees!”
well when an organization continues to lie to the fans…as the Pirates do….and have had a quarter of a century with like 6 winning seasons in 27 years….i’m done…Look how they treated Cutch a life long Pirate oh he is done we need to move him. (they embarased him all off season threatining to trade him! f***k no he isn’t done your not done at 30 and now look he is back to laying extremely well. This is an organization that clearly doesn’t have the pulse of its team. Attendance is down 4,000 a game this year. the cubs slept… Read more »
Or its common practice in the NHL and we have seen this before. Unless of course you think that Rutherford is just an idiot and his successes in the NHL are a complete fluke?

Production pays, his… Read more »
I think Rutherford makes good and bad moves, just like every gm in all sports. Not being reasonable in negotiations early on cost him in the long run. He’s only .500k over imo, so it’s not gonna kill the team.
So why are your panties so tightly wrapped around your balls on this one? It was an opening to a negotiation. This isnt comic book men and due to the potential arbitration you have to consider that was where the Pens mindset was. If it goes to the arbitrator the opening offers factor. Why does this need an explanation?
Not sure, you keep going on and on about it. I’m over it, but someone my panties are the ones all tight. We’ll be ok as a team, relax….you’re not teaching me anything.
Thats because you’re incapable of learning lol. This coming from the guy screaming to keep MAF over the 10 year younger Murray. Jesus it didnt take long for someone to fill yoda’s spot haha
Then again “but someone my panties are the ones all tight”, I think sam has some stiff competition too
Orpig was overpaid
Chubbster? Did you address Zero’s post? If not. Stop posting. Bitchh.
says the democrat……bitchhhhh.
Lol. I love how you think term and salary are mutually exclusive. That’s why Dustin is so “simple”
Dustin right again….That’s something you don’t hear everyday.
So where does this leave them as far as cap room is concerned?

With Pouliot and Archibald up, it leaves 5.53.
They still have around 6.3 million after the Dumoulin deal.
