lol.

Fun to think about, Matthews is not signing a deal for $11M tho.

Bhahahahahahaha Pittsburgh winning the Cup, but what's even funnier is you think Austin "I want max dollars **** the cup" Mathews is taking $11,000,000 Bhahahahahahaha Bhahahahahahaha Bhahahahahahaha Bhahahahahahaha

Win the cup, Even with Karlsson Pittsburgh aren't cup contenders. They're still barley a playoff team as it stands now. And That Auston Matthews signs for 7 x $11,000,000 on a team heading for a massive rebuild in 3-4 years or so. Plus Matthews doesn't want long term now and try closer to $13,500,000 to $14,000,000 per season.

Who’s “we?” Jake, is that you? 😄

It’s going to be really funny when Pittsburgh misses the playoffs again.

Barley lol

I get the giddiness that most Penguin fans feel, being seduced by the headlining name and thinking they'll outscore their way to the Cup because of the resumes of their top 4 players now but that will fade when the reality sinks in that they still have an aging roster, thin on depth with questionable goaltending amidst a strong Eastern conference field. The Pens didn't make it last season because of their depth issues behind the big 3 - and other than perhaps Boston, there doesn't appear to be any teams in the East that made the playoffs last season likely to drop off much - on top of other teams like Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa expected to be in the race. Adding Karlsson changes none of that - and to read one of the Penguin beat writers boast that Karlsson's presence compensating for when Crosby and Malkin go through scoring droughts is laughable.

They clearly don’t understand that old teams aren’t winning cups. You need veterans but you also need players in their prime who can carry the team. Who’s there Matthew Tkachuk?

Penguins got younger do the math
