When do we tank for the next generational talent?

Postby **Gaucho** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:02 pm

22-23

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:06 pm

25-26

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:06 pm

It's like a 20 year cycle right

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:07 pm

Mario 86. Sid rookie year 05-06. Draft the next chosen one 25-26

Postby **Gaucho** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:07 pm

sounds good

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:10 pm

i think that means we're scheduled for back to back cups in like 2035-2036 too

We tanked for Mario in '83, got him in '84...

Next question: can I still pass for a college kid and get those beautiful student rush tickets during the dark ages like last time?

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:20 pm

close enough

Postby **Lelldorin** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:24 pm

Hmmm...
Letang 5x9
Malkin 5x7
Rakell 5x5
Heinen 3x2
Kapanen retained 3x3.2 because I hate losing an asset for free
Boyle 1x0.75 - can split the work load with Carter so the later is fresh for the playoffs

Trade Pettersson for a bag of pucks

5 million? left for a backup goalie and a #5 D.

They might trade kapanens rights somewhere for like a 5th round pick

Boyle tore his knee up again I think...his career is over I presume...

I would do all of that though, probably...

Postby **nocera** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:31 pm

Boyle just had knee surgery yesterday and looked dog tired in the playoffs. It might be time to call it a career.

I would give malkin 5 x 7 if he’s cool with LTIRing it Kucherov style for the last 3 years of his deal

Don't forget to factor in the Fleury money.

Postby **Gaucho** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:41 pm

and Simon

Don't forget to factor in the Fleury money.

I don't see how they would fit him under and cap and I don't see him playing for 2mm. Maybe in the last year of Sid's contract.

Aspiring for LTIR isn't the way to go...especially if that ends up being a 35+ contract...it's all fun and games midseason when it happens, but it's not a good look prior to day one...

Fleury is quite old, so I think he could retire quite soon, and hopefully play for 2 million here for his last season

Postby **nocera** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:45 pm

Isn't this a better image of Fleury's final moment in a Pens jersey?

Postby **Lelldorin** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:47 pm

My video game move would also be to play our rookies until the last cuts from the other teams are made. It could be a chance to claim a young D and F. I think it could be fruitful even if the players have been waived by the deepest teams in the league.

Postby **Lelldorin** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:47 pm

Re Fluery: True. It was a fitting end for his career here. But he could still contribute...

Postby **Morkle** » Tue May 17, 2022 3:51 pm

GMBG said today he's going to try and re-sign MAF.

I ain't giving Geno 5x7. I'll settle at 3x6, and have him finish w/Sid's deal. I'll overpay on Letang, sure.

Idk, if a player is on waivers, generally it means they aren't good, with very few exceptions.

Also, what rookies?
