mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

You’re right. $5 doesn’t count as “tangible”. Who could even measure such a thing? And how?

Probably the same way one would measure loosing Ceci, McCann, and Tanev, while signing McGinn and Heinen.

But then who would measure that and call it tangible worse either?

The roster is not tangibly worse than last year and they won the damn division. Everyone settle dahn. Tread water until the big dogs come back. Might have to make Jake play center early. Although Sullivan has his favorite chew toys rodrigues and simon... one of them could end up being our #1 center...

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Ugh, Domingue is really bad... Worse than DeSmith? If not, this doesn’t matter to me. DeSmith isn't bad, he's just not great. Dominguez is actually bad. He isn't even solid for the AHL. He is one of those guys that you legit wonder how they keep getting signed. Not as far, but basically down the sa...

The Pens got a 3rd round pick out of him from Colorado. That might be the most amazing thing done in his career.

I dont know who pensburgh is but I have a sneaking suspicion that combined they have watched less than 25 games of all of the "top 25 under 25" It is probably just a regurge from other articles/posts from other places. That's why their posts often show conflicting opinion. One day they regurgitate ...

The Jets will require all people in the building to be vaccinated and will be selling their arena to full capacity
This is the way.

I head over to Pensburgh to read about what a steal that contract is for the greatest defensive forward in the history of the game and get sucked into an “article” claiming that getting Malkin and Letang signed for under $20.5MM per season combined is not just an acceptable outcome for two mid-30s ...

I don’t understand signing a guy like this to a one way. I guess you just waive him if he stinks and hope someone grabs him, I don’t know. Edit: I guess he’s good enough to get a one way.

No contract...unless you're breaking some news...
I believe that he meant on the "payroll" because of the buyout. No cap hit but still eating revenue.

The best thing about Seattle was they selected a random guy from Columbus, and turns out he was a soon to be UFA because he re-signed with Columbus today.

The team likes DeSmith. I do too. But he’s the wrong guy for the moment. I guess the one thing Hextall has going for him is that he knows about goaltending. But Jarry’s leash is exactly one game long, come April. The kill switch on his career with the pens as a starter is going to be a hair trigger...
