Penguins/NHL
Penguins reach agreement with Brandon Tanev
The Pittsburgh Penguins [hide] have agreed to a six year, $21 million contract with winger Brandon Tanev.
An AAV of $3.5 million over the next six years will certainly change the mood of this signing.
Tanev, 27, had a breakout year with 14 goals, 15 assists with the Jets, to go along with 278 hits and 81 blocked shots. Tanev excels at being a tireless worker and should play a factor in improving the Penguins bottom-6 in being harder to play against without the puck.
Tanev, though, is the type of player where you have to be careful with when it comes to giving out this type of contract. You can always find players like Tanev on the cheap.
The concern is with the contract is how much offense are you really going to get. Tanev has never topped 30 points in his career, doesn’t drive possession and scouts question his defensive prowess away from Adam Lowry. Hard work is what got Tanev to having the breakout year he had and Tanev’s going to be useful, but for players like Tanev who have to work some hard for points, this type of contract is a major gamble from Pittsburgh’s end.

Pagnotta has told the world Point turned down an offer sheet from MTL LMMFAO. If that wasn’t bad enough that sams hero broke the story it was later confirmed by Elliot Freidman… the man whose ideas same borrows to sell as his own daily
Sam “bothers” kindergarteners

I’ve never seen anyone so infatuated with America.
Montreal interested in Jack Johnson according to Sam’s favorite non-bww site.
I would drive him there myself.
Why don’t you drive your mom there gives us the Montrealers see what is a fat American looks like in real person
I would ask if you are drunk but sadly I know that is not the case. The Montrealers must be proud of you.

Enjoy npl
Stop drooling troll.
Why would I drool over a disgusting activity that has become a national day trend
Fucken moderating douche can suck a fucken cock… all the fucken links were to montreal eating contests proving once again sam is a garbage bag hypocrite
??
I posted, sorry attempted to post a handful of links to various eating contests held regularly in the Montreal area. D as a moderator is a pathetic goof as he never lets multiple links through and Sam is a fucken hypocrite as there are several events annually in his neck of the woods… yet he obsesses over Nathan’s
He is just a wanna be American who trolls from his mother’s basement. He does not even know where Montreal actually ends.
And eating contests are held all over the world, this is not an “American” thing. The one at Nathans in Coney Island just happens to get mass coverage bc it is on the 4th and held at an historic place. Sam(e) probably watched the entire thing.
They had more viewers then the penguins game
Happy Hot Dog day you fat people
oops i meant Happy 4th of July
Apparently coyotes fans are very exited with the addition fans. First of all what fans? They really have fans there. Second once again only average people enjoy kessel. Coaches hate him. Let’s see how long will take for the coach to realize this guy is not easy or fun to coach. He is a heavy depressing person to coach
A heavy depressing person to coach! Hahahahaha
You’re a fucken loser lol, who cares anymore… fuckk years of another former Penguin that you won’t stop obsessing over regardless of what he does.
Kessel 2 cup rings! Therrien, sams favourite coach ZERO!
“Apparently coyotes fans are very excited with the addition fans.”
WTF does that even mean?

Sam scouring the web for old free agents
Poor you. You fat miserable slob
Hey droolers penguins should sign Justin Williams lol
“I have daddy issues and want another almost retired old man on the team but Im afraid to admit it so I project it onto others.” -Sam the virginal bandwagon man
I really tough you were a genius but you haven’t caught on I make fun of you clowns. Just a coincidence old players I named they retired a week later same day. Here ill help you on for this one Mr genius more like Mr retard. Williams situation or he will play for canes or he will retire.
That’s a lot of coincidences. Loser. You should retire from here.
Ya maybe I should and leave the kids enjoy their time in the kindergarten. Since all the adults already left thanks to pests like npl
You wont leave. You never keep your word. No integrity.
yes sam, you should leave the kids to enjoy kindergarten!in fact the board would suggest you leave the kids in grade school, middle and high school alone too please.
Sam disagrees three times… once for each level of school he can find underaged kids
Old Canadian who isn’t what he used to be and may be mulling over retirement… yup right up sams alley
https://nathansfamous.com/
You are obsessed with American culture.
No I’m disgusted how you animals live
Right……
Why you don’t agree you guys are the main cause of anything bad in this world
When you are the best Sam you are the cause of everything thats good and bad in the world
It is NOT the USAs fault French-Canadians exist
Anybody know where Bob Rawski signed?
That’s how you GM… take notes JR lol
https://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/hockey-inside-out/hurricanes-say-canadiens-got-played-by-sebastian-ahos-agent
Same – if you had to guess, how many women on the US soccer team have a bigger cock than you?
You mean how many of them has injected hormones ? Ask npl he seems to be a genius lately
That’s ok, the best hockey player is American.
Technically Russian but he xenophobia runs so deep he wouldn’t know the difference lol
So that means my new player to hate would be galchenyuk. He has the best of the 2 worlds to hate.
This may be you best post ever. Well done.
US “women” dominating the world’s other “women”.
Yet it happens to be best woman Soccer player is a Canadian
This sentence. Jeez you suck.
If you were ever remotely honest with yourself you’d see that Sinclair lost a step… she’s a solid striker but Rapinoes overall game in more conducive to winning, this is why our girls lost and the US advanced
Did i miss anything on the board today? I was out doing genius things.
Like that playing pokemon go
Nope. I figured out the Pens next move.
Aho staying in Carolina. Lol. Suck it Sam(e).
Still, they stocked all those draft picks for this move. According to Sam that’s how you GM
In theory it was a ballsy move. It just backfired. Always need a Plan B.
Since you are so concerned Plan B is going after Tampax. Brayden Point
I am far from concerned bc I am NOT a Habs.
They are going after the entire team? You heard this from Brayden Point? Wow.
According to Habs nation they will call Connor, Point and Marner… so I will take it with a grain of salt. At least going after point makes sense, from a tendering POV, as TB is unlikely to be able to match.
only 8 forwards signed with 8 Million in space… if Aho was signed at 8.5 million for 30 + 80 imagine what it will cost to land Point at 40 and 90. Still Montreal has a couple other names I am sure they want to keep so 8.5 per is roughly the max they can go
Fun Fact; Point hit 38% of his points and almost 50% of his goals on the PP…
Another fun fact; Marner is not worth $11 million plus a yr and 4 first round draft picks. I don’t think any is worth that much.
Marner will get 10+ if not more than 11MM. 22 year old who has improved each year and has become the defacto franchise guy in Toronto despite having Matthews and Tavares. While I agree I dont think any players are really worth “that much” as it pertains to the reality of the league its hard to let that guy go and he will be looking at contracts like McDavids and Matthews to negotiate. Matthews is a far better goal scorer but has not gone above the 75 point mark to date… thats a big stat to negotiate with. I would… Read more »
I am not just talking about the $$… that is not the issue, it is paying him that much if he signs an offer sheet and then handing over 4 first round draft picks in the next 5 yrs. That is insane!
Yes and no, by the time you start looking at the draft success of playoff team picks (15/16) you see a substantial drop off. I mean the idea of landing a Marner would be to give that boost to be a playoff team, by the mid 1st round success rates of players playing about 200+ games alone can drop to 50% or less. If say the Oilers gave Marner a sheet, based on history and the fact they signed Smith meaning they may still not get it, then yes… 4 top 10, potential top 5 picks is a lot. Montreal… Read more »
And jack asss eichel is worth his contract with when team hasn’t made playoffs yet and always injured
Since his rookie year Eichel has played 286 games including 77 last year; Letang has played 256, 65 last year…
Eichel robbed Buffalo, that is why Buffalo is a joke. They are a poorly run organization.
Well your genius buddy npl was happy with that contract
Robbed is a tad extreme, over 82 he would have had 30 goals and 87 points. I think he is capable of more and may still grow into the deal. At worst it’s a slight over-payment at this point, I think much of the perception around his game at the moment is a general feeling that he has far too much pull with the team and hasnt landed those super star accolades yet. Buffalo is a joke in part because they has a handful of guys that have underachieved so far despite decent play from Eichel. Middlestat is due to… Read more »
DB wasted their time there
From a development stand point yeah, he didn’t do much to help
Players filling Sam’s drool bucket: Letang, Fleury, Simmonds, Perry, Nash, St. Louis, Gorges, Ladd Hudler, Vancouver McDavid, Thornton Weiss, Byron as well as any Canadian hockey player 36+ or retired.

Poor Sam
https://nathansfamous.com/
Any word on salaries for ZAR, Bleuger and Pettersson?
I predict they will be signed. Take it from me, the resident genius.
Bold prediction.
Ask to our new genius here
Now if only JR can get rid of JJ and get Jake Gardiner. Help clean up that back end.
Jake Gardiner ahahahaha this shows you are nothing but a fantasy living drooler. From someone that wants letang gone. JG is a turnover machine way more then letang . He is defensively way worst then letang in the D zone. Oh and he does not put letang minutes on a nightly. Basis even tho scum sully said he will reduce letangs minutes beginning of last season. Now goo drool you fat bandwagon
Why would they pay for a defenseman when, as Sam said, they can get Gorges at a discount?
I said JJ. Not once did I mention your dream boy Letang. Every time you troll you bring up players no one is talking about to fit your trolling agenda. Nice try.
Hey assshole I wasnt talking about this time. I was talking in general all year long you want letang gone yet you would replace him with JG that is big downgrade over letang. I don’t know if your just dumb or you just want to fill your drooling bucket list since this off season you haven’t drooled enough you must be one of the dumbest clowns on this board off coarse no one beats npl in that department but your up there with your thumbs down crew members
Sam thinks hes smart, off coarse, but he’s no genius like me! Of course…
You were talking in general all year long I wanted Letang gone? WTF does that even mean?! Before you call anyone dumb please learn how to form a comprehensive sentence. Proper punctuation is something you should have learned when you were 5. If you have been on here for 10 years like you claim then you should have learned basic sentence structures by now. With that said, you single handedly, as always, made Letang the main focus of your argument. With that you proved everyones point that Letang is a turnover machine. Maybe taking a chance on JG is a… Read more »
I just heard free agency started at noon. Any news on where Panarin is going? I heard the Ducks or the Kings.
Ask your pajama buddy according to him panarin should be joining the penguins along with the rest of the 700+ NHL players. Got to love that genius chubby friend of yours
Says the troll who has “inside sources” and was wrong on every single UFA. Piss off.
Good trade for Toronto. Damn
Crazy, Barrie is huge for them. They’ll miss Kadri but Kerfoot/Spezza will probably fill that in well. Marner is still waiting but… TO is legit
Bad trade for Avs.
I think it was Barrie having one year left and the noticeable lack of depth up the middle that created this move. They need to plug the hole left by Barrie which wont be easy although Makar made an immediate impact so I am expecting they feel he will fill the void. Still Kadri is a loose cannon when it really matters.
Sam disagreed because real roster management is trading a roster guy for picks to fuckup an RFA tender
Kadri traded. Npl knew that too earlier today
Yes i did. Thank you for acknowledging.
Sam, please leave the predictions to the hockey geniuses like me
Wow if hockey has genius like you that means it’s the end of the sports. If a clown like you never watches hockey and only playoffs and considers himself a genius. I wonder what would the hardcore fan is called then
Sam, I am a genius. Remember when I predicted the Tanev signing 24 hours before it happened, while you shared the Puljujarvi news a week after it happened?
You mean the kind of prediction that I did for kessel when I said he won’t finish his contract in Pittsburgh and play for the 3rd team under same contract. Or the one when said sullys system will wear off in 2 years or so
I believe your low IQ prediction was “Kessel will never win a Cup here and be traded before his contract is up.”
Wrong once more. Again I ask that you please leave the predictions to hockey geniuses like myself.
Not like Therriens…
Count down to sullys days in Pittsburgh
Remember when the Malkin to Russia countdown started in 2010?
How can you even remember when you only started to watch the game since 2016
Not a denial
If they’re not going to extend him and the contract extension is going to be asked at every press conference….They might as well fire him before camp.
Shame we don’t have Tocchett to turn to as a replacement.
And if I get right do I become a genius like npl ? It’s kinda hard filling in his shoes after 10 years 1 right takes a special genius talent for that.
More proof that for a guy that claims he’s in the know he don’t pay attention to shit lol
Lehner to Hawks.
Huge, how the fuck do the Islanders let him walk
Funny part is they paid Varlamov the same amount.
Duchene signs… Poile will survive the move
Guess we are making WBS great again 🙂 with the two signings
This years JJ ?
There’s already Aho in Montreal. Sam’s mom might have some competition.
Wow must’ve nailed it
All of Montreal nailed “it”
Most of Quebec nailed it too
It’s one of that major equalization plays…. have provinces move money to Quebec in the form of billions and in return everyone gets a pass to the playground known as sams mother
I do not see Carolina matching Montreal’s offer sheet. If not the
Hurricanes will be receiving a first, second and third-round pick in 2020. The deal has the maximum amount of signing bonuses allowable—which would equate to approximately $21MM in the first 12 months—a contract structure the Hurricanes would have to match.
Sounds like they will match begrudgingly. It’s a bad sign to anyone worth anything in Carolina if they let their biggest name walk
They will have to move someone to pay him a massive bonus up front in the next few days which means Carolina will have to move someone for picks.
Habs should get anders lee or Sebastian AHO
Lol… you are even late to the rumor mill.
Jesus Christ… you haven’t read Aho was tendered yet?
Bobrowski getting price kind of money wow what a fraud he is all in for the and not to win the Cup didnt sign with jackets so he can go a non hockey shithole team and get a lot of money while people don’t care about it
Wait so Bobrovsky getting Price money is all about the cash and now winning whereas as Price taking 10.5 is all about the team? You fucken dummy
simmonds to NJ
Booooo
Nice npl can cheer for them now that they have the #BlackCocksMatters community
Just another signing you got wrong… you are now 0 for everyone! Way to suck!
Hopefully the Pens find a way to unload Jack Johnson’s contract. Really like the forward depth right now so would hate to have to unload someone like Rust or Horny instead.
Sam(e) just heard from his “inside” source that the Blues won the Cup and free agency starts July 1 at 12noon.
I am so smart. Absolutely nailed the Tanev signing. Right, Sam?
You know the same guy Sam knows that works for Bettman?
Sweet, we signed a worse version of Rust. JR is a retard and needs fired on the same day they fire Sullivan.
Further proof this is a good signing
Hey npl any news when panarin will be joining the pens ?
He signed with the Rangers earlier today. Sam late again!
But but but I thought you nailed that one too
Troll
He literally never said that… moron
Tanev is absolutely loved here in Winnipeg and every Jets fan I know is mortified that he’s gone. They couldn’t pay him to stay because of the Laine/Connor scenario. He will definitely help the Penguins.
I believe Tanev will do very well in Pittsburgh….(could reach 20) Rutherford continues to get younger
Dominick Kahun 23
Alex Galchenyuk 25
Brandon Tanev 27
McCann last year 26
Bjugsad 27
Simon 24
Dumolin 27/28
ust 27
Murray 24/25
ZAr/Blueger early 20’s
pettersson early 20’s
we need another defenseman and Johnson must be bought out (save $3 million) or move him
I am a goddam hockey genius.
Jesse puljujarvi wants to be traded from that shitholee Oilers
We’ve known this for more than 2 weeks. Way to catch up!
Sam(e) just heard this now from his “inside” source.
Yeah, it was discussed on here a week ago. As usual, you’re a bit slooooow, chubby.
The adults discussed it over a week ago retard
Hey npl since you are nailing it any news when panarin will join the pens
Did we crash yet ?
