Sujet: An unrealistic deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>That would probably be pretty close in my opinion - and I think they would definitely consider it. Obviously I don't know for sure - I'm just trying to go based on the reported asking price of a 1st round pick, A level prospect, and established young NHL player. You could make the argument that the Pens 1st round pick, Pickering, and Smith could fit those descriptions - however you could also make the argument that another team would be able to beat that offer.</div></div>

I agree but looking at the recent trades of Horvat and Taresenko, while yes, I know Timo is a significantly better player especially this year, the trades were underwhelming for the seller. I think Timo goes for less than expected. And I don't think it's out of the question that the Pens can go after him and make an offer that the Sharks would choose over another teams. Will Ron Hextal actually attempt that kind of a trade is a whole different question lol

this is honestly just the worst contract I've seen the pens sign in a long time
Why 6?? 1-3 years would be great, anything more gets into the realm of anchor, why 6!?
Have fun with this contract in 5, hell, 3 years</div></div>



These comments are exactly why I don’t use this site anymore besides the GM game. But I needed a good laugh and I definitely came to the right place.

This contract is absolutely brilliant. Do you really think for a second that Kris Letang given his injury history will play out the entirety of the contract? Absolutely not. He will be sent on LTIR like the Weber / hosss deals towards the end. The contract kept the AAV ridiculously low for the initial years of the deal, and in the “ugly” years of the contract, he will be on LTIR.

The term on this extension is abhorrent.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anus_McLeod</b></div><div>Someone help me out here, cuz I honestly don't know. Because he's 35, if he retires prior to the end of his deal his full cap hit remains? Is that correct, or am I way off here?

I have never fully understood retirement recapture and don't really want to put in the work tbh.</div></div>
