Quoting: DDUB
Dude what’s your problem? Do you even read entire posts? I said other teams could give him 9.
I said the Pens should offer around 7.5 over 4 years.
The entire point of the post is the dude above who posted 3yr for 6M. That’s lunacy to think the Pens would even offer such an amount to Geno.
9M from the Pens is 100% not going to work, and h elbows that. But 6M is a slap in the face.
Other teams aren't giving him 9 either.
My god dude. He's 36 years old next season, wanting term. No one is signing him to anywhere near 9. Talk about lunacy. No one would do that.
As a matter of fact, 7.5 probably is a very high optimistic value.
It's not a matter of if the wheels come off but when and at 36.... it's any minute now. Everyone knows that. Including the penguins.
Fact is, the offer he gave up above is more in like with the Hall offer. 4x6. Which I have said on here is probably the starting point. It's not a slap in the face, he doesn't play defense, he doesn't win faceoffs, the PP struggles, and eventually his legs are going. Hell he has more points on the PP than he does even strength. That's a very telling sign.
