As I said on HDH… "Feel sorry for J.J. 87 and 66 helped during a bankruptcy. His parents stole all his money, HIS OWN DAMN PARENTS! They had him sign a lease to a house he purchased, for $1 a year! Then they tried to sue him for backing out of the deal during his bankruptcy. I really wished him the best and rooted for him to improve. J.J still a strong tough player but his hockey sense is completely lost. Oh well I wish him the best in the future."
The Pens have 11 forwards signed. ZAR is one of them, and will go on IR when the season starts for at least a few months. It's possible he misses the season entirely. So that drops to 10. They are required to have at least 13 on opening night. Teams usually do 14F-7D-2G.
So to me it's pretty clear what they do with the 5.7 mil (after ZAR cap relief). Entry level deals are the only way. Poulin and Legare is my hope. Fresh kids who have everything to play for and can inject a lot of life. Then with the remaining 3.2 mil you grab the best UFA forward available, Center or wing. Sceviour is my 14th forward.
I'm actually quite pleased with the defense. I think pretty highly of Riikola and he's been horribly managed and coached to this point. The gifts are there. He's fast, strong, protects the net front very well and has the hardest slapper on the team. Love him on the bottom pair, with a new defensive coach who hopefully respects him, in Reirden. If Matheson is an anchor then I'm hoping PO Joseph makes a strong push for his spot. He's been impressive in Wilkes-Barre, and he's one of Mike Vellucci's boys.
I probably won't be thrilled with our bottom 6, but we did make significant improvements on defense, goaltending and coaching. Getting Zucker for the full year will be a treat too.
BUD!!! Please DO NOT mention Conor Sheary EVER Again please. You are so right about Jack Johnson and his metrics BUT Conor Sheary is just as bad. I have broken down BOTH of their games and plays to a detailed view and Conor Sheary is just brutal. Yes he gets point here or there but the amount of plays that he lets the opposing teams generate is incredible. Johnson is just bad and cannot play at the NHL level anymore. This BUYOUT is awesome and it also shows that NOT one single team would have traded for him even for "Just"Future Considerations. That's crazy. So please DO NOT bring up Conor Sheary because he's just as bad and when JR made that trade right at the deadline last season it showed me that JR is starting too loose touch with the reality of the game. He is now spending too much making up for his mistakes. Let's Go Pens andI like a Chris Tanev add for sure because we absolutely need more sand paper on the back end.
