  1. I don't believe he'll be back BUT……..stranger things have happened. As you said Nick, bridge may be burned?? Should be an interesting summer again!!??

  2. Jake is gone. Hoping he comes back over the summer but not holding my breath. Until they let Ned have the helm they will suck. period. Guaranteed 1 first round this year, if they opt for it and probably top 10, and possibly a second. Dump some salary. Bring in some finishers for all the lines. Some big bodied stay at home defensemen, for a three game performance a St. Ivany like player. Finally, for god sake, relieve Jarry of the starting role. How many years is he gonna flop before anyone else will figure this out.

  3. I dont mind his overtly honest interview. I wasn't fully convinced he was coming back anyway. It would have been nice if they signed him instead of trading for a 10mill player but it is what it is. I have to a least give Dubas a chance with the new plan. Hope Sid is signed July 1st.
    They probably can do the retool as well as Caps…

  4. I am not mad that jake is trying to get as much annually as possible for his next contract. Some teams will offer him north of $10M/yr, maybe $11M. I just hope that its not the pens. They only have $15M in cap space next year if they cannot shed Smith or Rackell. I did not want the pens to offer the same contract that nylander and pettersson got but i would not be mad if jake signed a 7 year, $63M contract but thats not going to get it done. Its probably more like 7 yr/$80M elsewhere.

  5. Well Jake, if your friends (the "core" ) weren't being paid so much, maybe the Pens could have met your financial demands. I believe the core gave the Pens a discount to stay together. Go get your big payday. You'll get market value. We'll say hello to you a couple of times a year.

  6. caps equivalency is new math; guentzel was young. should have dumped letang and malkin a few years ago and your age goes down. dude try old math it works
