Quoting: Sqm918
Nobody said anything about him wanting to sign in “Puttsburgh.” Him not saying anything about wanting to sign in Pittsburgh or anywhere for that matter a year before he is a FA means nothing. You are just talking out of your a$$, attempting to put words in other peoples mouth, and weakening your already nonexistent credibility.
What did you expect him to say??? “No way I want to resign in Detroit. This team has been irrelevant for a decade+. Why would I want to sign here.” Of course he will say the right stuff. He isn’t an idiot. You should take notes. The pens get Dumo and Zuck off the books plus a likely cap increase next year. They will have plenty of space to pull it off, but I’m sure they appreciate your concern. I shouldn’t have to spoon feed you this information. You are obviously new to this whole “hockey” thing. Welcome to hockey!

1st off the Sqm918 stated in his post we can just sign him next year. Almost like Pens management can do whatever they want so I did not make up anything.
2nd yes Wings have been in a rebuild so yes they have not been relevant for 10 years, but what has Pens done in those years? They have not won a cup , yes they have been in the playoffs, great but signing older players to contract only prolongs the inevidentable that the Pens will become less and less a cup contender.
As far as cap Pens have 20 million in cap next year, with T. Smith and T. Jarry to resign.at the least that will cost 6 million for both.and if you let Dumo then Pens lose their top LHD. Signing Bertuzzi will cost 6 to 7 million. That leaves Pens only 7 to 8 million to sign a replacement for Dumo and flesh out the rest of roster
And thanks but I know enough about the hockey "thing" but hey thanks.for your opinion.
