Free Agent Frenzy 2015

Whatever, Spaling sucked. Least we got a pick back too. Softens that 1st rounder.

This is a definite positive. Spaling is overpaid by about 700K and we get a pick back that is probably going to be 10 spots or from the 1st we gave up (assumign same draft year).

salary being retained 15-25%

***** says Kessel is the best winger the Penguins have had since Jaromir Jagr.
... Hossa? I mean, who else really was there that has Kessel's pedigree?

When I made that comment last week, or whenever it was, people brought up Kovalev as well. I still put Kessel above Hossa and Kovalev (not shots at those guys, just saying)

Looks like Toronto will be returning the 2nd round pick we sent to Toronto for Winnik.

So we are gonna get our pick(2nd round) back we used to get winnik from Toronto by sending soaking to Toronto.

Lebrun says Spaling, Kap, Harrington, 2 picks for Kessel and 2 other contracts. Whatever that means?

Postby **Morkle** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:20 pm

I'll take it.

Postby **Clams Herbert** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:20 pm

Spaling for that 2nd makes it even better. Salary retention. This is insane.

Postby **Morkle** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:22 pm

If there's other moves out there to be made. I'm pretty happy with GMJRs day so far.

Why would the Pens take back two more contracts?

Maybe I should take a nap and let this all work out before looking at it again...

Weird since spaling is gone.

Greg Brady @bradyfan590
If Kessel's cost to PIT is $6.8M - Crosby/Malkin/Kessel weigh in at $25.0M combined on cap. Kane/Toews/Hossa will be $26.3M in Chicago.

No, he has made a couple very quiet posts on other signings, stating term, no opinions.

Postby **slappybrown** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 1:27 pm

Many on twitter speculating that PIT dire need for 2nd round pick is because of planned offer sheet.
