lol, have fun with Mike Smith then.

Mike Smith is 38 fricking years old

And he looked 38 like 5 years ago.

That's all they can say really...you can't tamper with a soon to be free agent and you can't say, "well, you got us...we'll give you 14 for Murray" ...the only posturing move is to say, "we'll just keep the guy we know we can keep..."

This is where we’re supposed to say, “sign and trade” right?

That should be a ban-able offense...this isn't that garbage league...

Pens bumped JD Forrest up to WBS Head Coach

Also Jason Karmanos has been named the team's general manager

Later Bjugstad to Minnesota. Conditional 7th, depends how many games played.

Retaining some of his salary

Now there's a "bag of pucks" trade.

Cool. Probably saves us from buying him out...I think they retained about a mil. Jugs is from Minny I believe...

Also went to Minnesota for college.

Jugs and the Wild are made for each other.

@shmenguin

Weird. Buying him out would have freed up more cap space. Guess they’re more concerned about the actual salary hit.

We retained half...meh, I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have bought him out...

50% retention and best you could do was a conditional 7th? Yikes

50%? Holy **** Jim. Did you fat finger 20% typing up the email to the league?

So this is the first real money deal of this little flat cap blip we're in...we'll see if it's the trendsetter for these type of deals...

If that's the best he could do for Bjugstad, who can contribute when healthy, JMFJ ain't going anywhere without sending a valuable asset with him. Sad.

Yeah that's bad.
