As it stands, he is basically saying Spaling and Duper are your other 2 top 6 wingers with Bennett in the mix as well.

Can't buy out Scuds. He isn't eligible to be bought out. Same with Adams. No on Ott.
- Oneonta Penguin

Compliance buy-outs are through as of last night, right? If so, from this point forward no one is eligible.

Did Engelland just get 2.9per for 3 yrs?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't buy that at all, your comment about Martin. Might not be trading him today. Still need a top six forward; don't have the cap space to get one; signed Ehrhoff for a reason; Martin becomes a free agent next year and wants to test free agency. Who can blame him after seeing the ridiculous amount of money Orpik got and what Niskanen will get. Teams are searching for Dmen ... Minnesota, SJ, Detroit, Colorado. There is a match somewhere with the loser of the Niskanen sweepstakes. He is the last domino to fall before a potential trade.
- Oneonta Penguin

Scuderi+4th to Buffalo for a 7th. Make it happen.

I will eat my computer with joy if that happened. I saw that too.

Bob just tweeted that, that has to be a mistake.

AAV 2.9 mil for 3 years. wow, just wow. Bob might need to clean his ears. This can't be legit.

To be clear, Engelland's AAV is $2.9M. That's per year.

Good for him, I like Engo.

on the Spalding comment on time seen on top two lines.
- Oneonta Penguin

I think the view they have is this...

Malkin and Hornqvist
Crosby and Kunitz

Then whoever works with them at any given time

It's not how anybody usually plans it when they make a fantasy line-up...but it is often how it works in real life...isn't it?

When you have 3 guys making 25M (Malkin, Crosby, Letang) you sometimes need to take this kind of approach because you can't pay for additional 5M wings

Hindsight being what it is, some of these guys should have been gone last deadline for picks. Obviously other teams weren't paying attention or every GM believes they can Belichick reclamation projects.

TSN officially reported it, 8.7 mill over three seasons with Calgary.

Let's not take everything Rutherford said as gospel.... What do you want him to say,

"We're looking to trade Martin."
"We really need a top 6 forward."
"We are going to be trading on of our three goalies."

Even if those are 100% true, why would any GM say those out loud?

Ok. If Engelland is getting that, the Penguins have to be able to move Scuderi.

EDIT: Seriously? $2.9M/yr for Engelland for 3yrs. Wonder if Niskanen is taking so long because the Board of Governors have to approve ownership of whatever team is going to.

Good for him, I like Engo.
- stackthepads

Honestly, I always liked him too and thought he got a worse rap than he deserved. He was no stalwart on D, but I just liked the way he played.

Matt Martin ... LOL. There is that name again. What trash he is.

Seriously, plop in that tape of the series against the Islanders. People ripped Neal for his dumb penalties. Well, Martin is total tard and cost his team that series with dumb penalties.

He isn't what we need.

Possibly Mario & Co. told him to keep it short and sweet. In other words, STFU.

Then why have the press conf at all? He does realize that saying nothing is an option I hope.

Rutherford will always be picked apart no matter what he says because people don't like him. He really never had a chance. Hell, he made a decent trade and made some solid signings but people are still complaining. So far he has done well.

BTW Zepp went to PHI not to Pittsburgh.

Maybe people over his head told him he needs to be more vocal than his predecessor?

Wow wtf... is anyone else listening to JR... no to kuli or top 6 guy... don't need roster set... even tho there are young nhl ready d he brought in ehrhoff bc he is the right kind of guy... wtf is this poop....
- nh4442

Matta is hurt
So is Pouliot

If Matta was 100% then maybe they do nothing

As it is, they get a guy playing for a contract in Ehrhoff

I agree with roster comments...it's July 1st! Happy summer!

Games are three months away...lots can happen still.

I know everyone thinks Scuderi is impossible to trade. I'm not sure about that. Scuderi at 3.3, Engelland at 2.9. Who would you rather have?

Firngers crossed.
