Sujet: RIP penguins realistic moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Could’ve signed Panik (whose better) to 2.5 million X 4. Makes absolutely no sense. Rutherford has lost his mind</div></div>

Yeah I made that exact argument yesterday to another pens fan and was basically told I’m only seeing what I want to see and that the caps moves they made yesterday aren’t good... I mean I guess we’ll have to wait and see until October to know how good every one of these signings turns out to be, but it’s kinda hard to justify anything about that Tanev contract. I’m even a little iffy on the term on Panik’s deal, but he could turn out to be a very solid add for the AAV.

Hopefully for your guys sake, GMJR can move that Johnson contract if nothing else.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I think Tanev has more upside than both of those players. It's a difference between quality and quantity. Tanev has more upside to his game. Tanev has been in the league for 3 years and is coming into his own. He is trending upward improving every year as his opportunity grows. Panik has been in 7, he is what he is. Hathaway is not the player Tanev is. So that really isn't an equal comparison.

You look to much into what you want to see.
Tanev was a talented player buried on a WPG team. He'll get more opportunity here.
He also becomes the reason they feel comfortable moving JJ, and that's a win. No two ways about it.</div></div>

... do the pens need one terrible contract on their team at all times? Is that why they're comfortable moving Johnson?

There isn't really a way to spin that Tanev signing into being a good one. If he turns out to be an amazing two way forward who puts up 15 goals a year NOT playing with Crosby, it's a win. That's pretty unlikely. Otherwise, too much money, too much term. Not a good signing.

And Panik is better for less money. Hathaway will play a similar role to Tanev making less than half of what Tanev makes. It's not about "looking too much into what I want to see" (like what???), it's facts.

That fourth line is gonna be one of the best in the league. Dowd has sneaky good offensive upside. Great shot. Leipsic has really good vision, passing, and a certain grit to him, getting in low in the offensive zone to clean up rebounds and make some noise in front of the goalie. Hathaway is gonna be a great Tom Wilson-esque player (obviously not on the level of Tom Wilson) who might mesh really well with Leipsic and Dowd.

Hagelin Eller Panik; god that line could kill. Speed, elite defensive presence, and solid offensive capabilities. That sounds like an ideal third line to me. I can't wait to see it on the ice.

Kuz really needs to pick it back up this year though if we want the cup back. As does Orlov. And I'm hoping Kempny and Oshie fully recover from their injuries. If these things all happen, I can totally see a deep run to the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>no problem with it at all. There is serious inflation in salaries. That deal will be nothing in 2 years when the TV contract and an expansion team are entered into the league.
Furthermore, he was brought in to hit people. Which he does well. That lets them shed a player like JJ, who was the teams leading hitter last year.
I'd much rather have Tanev than JJ. which is what it equates to.</div></div>

I don't want to come off as rude or snarky at all. But using Johnson's contract to justify the argument that Tanev's contract is okay really is a bad comparable. That Johnson contract was recognized to be awful the moment it was signed and has been proven to be awful all year by Johnson's lackluster play.

Paying a bottom 6 forward that has little offensive upside $21M over the course of 6(!!!) years isn't a smart move. The only good 6 year contract a bottom 6 forward has signed in recent memory off the top of my head was Calle Jarnkrok with the Preds 3 or 4 years ago, and that was $2M per and he plays center and was younger. Tanev isn't old by any means. But committing that money and term to a guy you don't see putting up 40+ points a year isn't the best idea. If it was a 1-2 year deal, then whatever. Not a bad deal. If it was a $2M AAV contract, also not a bad deal. But GMJR didn't need to pay that type of premium for Tanev.

The caps got Panik for 4 years at $2.75M and he's expected to produce a lot of offense. They got Hathaway (a guy who will likely be playing the same role as Tanev and potentially do it just as well) for $1.5M AAV for 4 years. This deal the pens just signed with Tanev may turn out to look just like the Johnson deal signed last year; not good at all.

Sujet: Caps fan trying to put together a Penguins team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jbutta5</b></div><div>You make some more sense than penguins fans that I've seen on here lmao.

I think you overpaid on ZAR slightly and Pettersson by about 1M. I think you're undervaluing Kessel a little too much there. That Letang trade would be a big blockbuster but I don't think Pittsburgh or Toronto has the you know whats to do that

Not bad tho! I have a friend who is a caps fan so I know a lot about them, maybe I should try a caps offseason thing on here</div></div>

Yeah, my friend who is also a penguins fan took a look at this and pretty much said the same thing. He didn't like the Kessel trade that much, but did like the Letang trade. He also loved the Dallas trade, which I think could end up working out for both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan89</b></div><div>Not bad on the trades. The RFAs won’t get that much though. Blueger likely just gets a QO, Petterson likely doesn’t get more than 1.5, Riikola likely gets a QO or a cheap 2 year deal worth 1 million or less, ZAR will get a QO or a million or less multi year deal.</div></div>

Yeah, I kinda went off of games played and the stats capfriendly shows me to see if I could figure out a fair $ amount for the signings I made, but I also knew that Petterson was really good for the pens, which is why I gave him as much as I did. As for the trades, I figured they might wanna just mix it up and get younger as well, so Letang and Kessel out for Parayko and Nylander seemed like a good idea.
