Would prefer another year, but that's a solid contract.

WTF are those guys? I assume they'll be restocking WBS.

All about 25, 26, all roughly 70 NHL games of experience. Maybe the next Ruhwedel is among them.

This has been a very underwhelming start of free agency for the Pens thus far.

What exactly were you hoping for? I think they've had a nice little off season so far considering what they were up against.

It's not like there were hot options out there. No point in over spending on stupid.

To recognize more than one player signing here, and to not lose all of Daley, Bonino, and Kunitz, to be honest. Still very early, but there has been a lot of movement elsewhere thus far. And I'm impatient.

The Pens added a quality backup (hopefully) for change, a good dman who could thrive in their system, Schultz, and a boatload of depth guys. Not too bad for a day's work.

Niemi is a steaming pile of trash until proven otherwise. I'll try and be more patient to see who they add to fill those roles down the middle.

Not sure, but I've heard McKegg has a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg.

No they're going to be in the top 6.

I must have read a dozen people say that, and I still have no idea what they're referring to.

Vrbata joining his 7th team. I would have guessed 12th.

Didn't Tinordi have some pedigree at one point?

Postby **MR25** » Sat Jul 01, 2017 7:56 pm

Greg Mckegg is a **** great name.

That Girardi signing is hard to explain.

Was a first round mistake, if you consider that pedigree.

Tampa in need of a pylon?

Puts one in the mindset of Bob Cobb, aka...

New Jersey signs Brian Gibbons and Brian Strait. Shero needs to get over it and move on with his life.
