Trade Murray in a package with Johnson for an elite Dman. Let someone else be suckered by his constantly failing goaltending

^ Question about Tanev. Are you ok with the six years? I am not sure I get the contract for a bottom 6 forward. Let me know what I am missing.


Also with the other minor league signings they brought back Blandisi.

Yes, not a fan of the length of the contract

Honestly i am not familiar with him as a player either. There is a lot of talk this could be a sleeper signing but just looking at his numbers it seems he is no more than a bottom 6 player which why the contract scares me.

Well at least they didn't really overpay. Tanev's salary is on par with what he brings, but yea the 6-yr term is a head scratcher when he's 27 yrs old. A guy like Hagelin just got 4 years making $750k less per season.

But so far, they have gotten a touch faster on paper. Kahun, Galchenyuk & Tanev are all fast skaters with good puck skills. Still time to address the defense too.

That said, only time will tell. Cautiously optimistic right now hoping for them to address the defense. Also wouldn't mind if they took a hard look at acquiring Gusev. I know the current cap wouldn't allow it, but he's an instant top 6 plug & play guy.

Wouldn't be sad to see Jack Johnson go.

Update: Zach Aston-Reese signs two year contract with Penguins, worth $1 million annually

I dig it. Sort of like signing a mini #72 for less & younger. Plays some of his best hockey when he uses the body on the boards.

Obviously somethings got to give with MP28’s contract, that’ll be higher and with ZAR’s new deal next to no money available sans a trade

Updated Pens Salary Cap, How to Sign Pettersson without a Trade

Marcus Pettersson's agent: No deal until Penguins clear cap space

Honestly though I don't see one of the three of Rust, Bjugstad or Johnson being on the roster come the start of the season.
I think they are waiting for one of these moves, whatever it is to get the deal done.

Who? There is something truly scary to be said about having to mine the Oilers for prospects. How desperate do you have to be?

2 problems working against them with Johnson...

1. This front office still thinks his worth is much higher than it is.
2. (probably most important) Nobody wants his contract. It's pretty much that simple.

They'll have to package his ass with someone more alluring just to get rid of the stink of his contract that scares other teams away

So Malkin told the Pens to trade him or Kessel? And Crosby insisted Malkin stay?

I expect a Cup challenging team this year...

Time for Murray to put up or shut up
