Brooks Orpik

I would bet that Murray is looking for second rounder. Perhaps a late first rounder if a team suddenly gets desperate.

We don't have 2nd rounder next draft I'm pretty sure. And Shero won't part with a first rounder. Maybe 2012? Who knows. Phillips is pricey, no?

$3.5M/per year. Obviously a UFA after this year.

Hmmmm...I dunno how much space we have honestly. Apparently a trip to CapGeek is needed.

 

[pixburgher66]

Well, Shero's presser said that he has the room and the means to make another move, and knowing the player he is, I expect another deal to go down. That and the man is riding high right now. That said, his inclination still seemed to be towards a forward more than a Dman. Brooksie will be a few weeks out, but we have capable talent without him...at least enough that we shouldn't 'waste' assets/cap space on a Dman when the Pens may end up a few extra guys when everyone is healthy.

And wow. The Pens have a lot more room than I thought it seems. Looks like we can take on a full season salary of $7.4mil? That can't be right, can it?

I think they would also have to account for Sid coming back onto the the roster from the LTiR... if that happens

Riiiiight...wonder what the number would be then. Who else is on IR though? Those are some confusing numbers. I guess the lower end players coming back will counter act the AHL players coming off though.

If the Penguins bring in Phillips, and everyone but Malkin comes back from injury, I like this team's chances.

Neal - Crosby - Kovalev
Kunitz - Staal - Kennedy
Cooke - Letestu - Jeffrey
Rupp - Adams - Talbot

Letang - Orpik
Martin - Michalek
Phillips - Niskanen/Engelland/Lovejoy

Fleury

I don't know that we'd give up any more goals.

"Brooks Orpik" can be re-arranged to spell Sir Pork Book


Also; I pork Brooks.



And Sob, poor Kirk

Looks like 43 took the Anagramizer 3000 XBR out for a spin...

Just upgraded it to a hybrid model. A little slower, but gets great milage.

I shouldn't have done this. I just ran the name of a co-worker through it and it shot back "Nuclear Tush".

I am never going to be able to look at the guy again, and he'll have no idea why.

I think I would put Dupuis on the 1st, Kovy on the 2nd, TK on the 3rd and not use Jeffery.. why Jeffery over Dupuis?

Even without Philips (the pens better not get him) and Sid.. I still like this teams chance...

Easy solution: Sit Talbot. Although chances are there will be injuries anyway

Major brain fart. I knew I was forgetting something. Take out Rupp and put in Dupuis. I like Talbot's speed and finishing a lot more than Rupp's. I'd put Dupuis on the third line and left Jeffrey center the fourth. If Kennedy slows his pace, I'd switch him and Dupuis.
