You pay to make cap dumps like Bjugstad go away. No one will take them without being compensated.

So untrue. He has one year left and he battled injuries this year. He’s still a solid middle 6 forward. Jets would take him in a second

Figuring that Winnipeg will be in need of some centers. Reading that B. Little may hang em up.

I read that Rutherford still wants to spend to the cap and build a contender team

Yeah like the team with some of the worst centre depth in the NHL will gladly take Jugs lmfao

Want different than will. Let’s not forget that ownership was shopping the team just a few years ago.

Also...potential prospect of no fans in stands until next Spring is gonna crush team’s revenues.

if pens aren't going to go for it while Sid/Malkin/Letang are entering the final years of their prime, then they should just sell everyone off. it would be a waste.

Yep..depressing thoughts. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

Just to be clear though this would be a league wide issue. I’m curious how college sports are gonna play out. Lots of money at stake.

like I would 100% rather embrace a full rebuild and trade absolutely everyone rather than be a mediocre team for another year and barely make the playoffs. The Pens motto should be to go for it until it is no longer physically possible to do so. Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Jake is still one of the best cores in the NHL. We can get another cup out of this group with the right offseason moves. This is the biggest test of Rutherfords career. He has to retool this team and inject a young, speedy forward to ride shotgun with Crosby on the right side, stabilize the 3rd line with a proper 3C, fix the dreaded bottom pairing D, figure out the goalie situation, and shed the dead weight of Hornqvist/Johnson/JJ

Dream on. A cap dump is a cap dump.

We need an NHL quality player to replace him. Not a cap dump.

cap dump as in arguably your 2nd best centre when healthy. good one bud

Yes, you've made it very clear that with your heavy bias that you cannot evaluate players objectively.

says you. jets second best centre under contract next year is Adam Lowry. (assuming Copp/Roslovic play wing) Hes a 4C at best. Jugs is far superior to him. You're new to this site. clowns like you should just stay off it. stick to polluting twitter

They get more for Murray than a 2nd.

That click bait article is pure trash. This team is committed to winning a cup in the last few years they have left to do so.
