Not feeling well, but backing up. Ok.

Maybe he has the shits

Well, he definitely didn't go to Ohio State to play school or take PR classes...

Zucker

No one is treating him like he's Tanner Glass...?

For a team as close to the cap as the Pens are/were, $5 mil and term for a guy who won't move up from the bottom 6 is just... why?

They already have depth on the left side with Smith in the A.

I don't see how McGinn and Kapanen out makes the Granlund deal less worse... it's still 2 more years at $5.5mil for a 31 year old who had previously been declining.

Guess it depends if we get Anaheim Kulikov or pre-Anaheim Kulikov.

Also holding out hope the extra LD that gets moved is Dumo

Love that everyone knows exactly what the deal is to judge it already lol

Who else can they move cap-wise? Pettersson and Zucker have also already been mentioned as being floated out there.

The worst part is that it's going to have to be at the expense of Zucker and Pettersson at the very least.

They would have to be in WBS before 3 PM to count toward WBS's playoff roster. Probably getting called back up shortly thereafter.

Would be real dumb if they traded Pettersson.

I understand you have to give to get but he's been great this year.

I'm assuming they ate some of Bonino's cap hit

Forgot about the NMC.

Once again, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Also seems dumb on our part to take on that contract, absent any retention.

Also have to wonder why Jeff Carter wasn't offered...

Not sure if this goes here or NPR, but LOL Vancouver

Even in cases where the mother's life is at stake, they will have to go before a judge and prove that their health was at ri...

Just prepare yourself for the potential O'Connor paper send down today for cap/AHL playoffs purposes.

For Vrana

Definitely don't have the space to fit his full contract for just a pick.

One would hope this bumps Carter off the 3rd but maybe it's also because Poehling might be out longer term?

Look at Mr Fancy Pants here, with his three Costcos.

None of which are convenient for me to get to.

This is why the prospect of DeSantis being considered the "tame" option compared to Trump scares me.

The guy is unhinged, and is going to keep moving more and more authoritarian to try and stay a step ahead of Trump.

McCann also was probably never going to shoot 21% in Pittsburgh, let's be real.

I'm apparently smack dab in the middle of a Costco love market triangle. Cranberry, Robinson, and Waterfront

Hopefully Letang isn't out for any meaningful time, and hopefully no other D men get banged up tonight
