Got an invite to Pens Summer Sticks at TopGolf.
I'm half-expecting to either be paired with Jack Johnson or someone that's going to get traded the next day.
We ended up getting JD Forrest from the WBS coaching staff. Real nice guy. Honestly probably worked out better than getting a current player. Had a couple beers, shot the ****. Lot of fun.
Felt bad for Brandon Tanev though. He was a couple booths down. I don't think the people he was with knew who he was and barely talked to him.
Man. Imagine getting invited to a pretty cool event hosted by the Penguins, wondering what Pens player or legend you'll get paired with and you end up with the assistant coach of WBS...
Craig Adams wins the “JD Forrest Award” for the player in pens history I would trade for a WBS assistant. But yeah...that’s a short list. I think I’d also prefer not to eat with Orpik, given the choice.

We figured out that you only get the "cool" players if your company owns a box (I think the only reason we were there is because people dropped out and we had a half season plan). When they would announce scores for the upstairs bays, it was always by a company name. Berkshire Hathway was paired with Schultz and won the event. WBS coach said "Berkshire Hathway? These guys probably just golf all day. **** bulls**t".
He used to play. Said he was at BC when they won in the early 00s, so it's not like we got some old fart. After the fact, found out he played a bunch in Europe before coming back here to coach.

Maybe they'll reach some sort of "sign your QO now, cash in next summer" agreement?

What are the chances that he shows up with frostbite on his feet and a helmet that isn't league approved?

Pretty sure they don't have to be cap compliant until October 1st but at some point they're going to have to make a move of substance.

I assume this is a prove it deal? I thought he’d earn more.

It probably he gets a little extra $$$ on the long-term deal he'll hopefully sign next summer. Maybe they already have an agreed-upon deal in place.
