Penguins and stuff...

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@j_a155 At 20, I don't think contract can slide?

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@JFreshHockey 1st spin I got Zach Werenski and Nick Suzuki... Man, Anaheim was dumb...

2nd spin, best players were Eeli Tolvanen and Colin White... one guy didn't even have a picture. Ok, nevermind lol

@j_a155 Fer sher

@jmarshfof That is registration... Hockey is probably net more expensive with equipment, actual travel (hotels, etc), and ref fees are on top of hockey registration, but it's A LOT closer than it should be.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@jmarshfof It costs more for my one kid to play U14 "travel" soccer for a mid-level local club, than it does to for my youngest to play 12U-AA hockey at a local Tier II association.

@AGretz Negotiations couldn't have been going great for him to sign the offer sheet.

You'd think if he was comfortable that they'd take care of him, he would pass on it.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@HunterHodies Life changing money for him. Happy for guys like that who work for years and years and get to cash in.

Not a bad deal for Edm either. $4 mil for a solid #4/#5 d-man isn't bad.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@reporterchris Per year?!?!?

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@Brian_Metzer Those are the kind of guys who you root for a call up of a couple weeks to get an NHL paycheck!.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@jmarshfof @JFreshHockey Karlsson back to Sharks?

They could really use a puck mover for that skill up front.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@MarkLazerus The cap numbers for their entire core are fantastic.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@jtbourne It will probably be around the buried cap limit soon... Instead of playing the LTIR game, is that an option? Just send him to AHL, not report, and team just keeps paying him?

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@AGretz The Penguins have a long storied history of acquiring the "wrong" brother over decades lol.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@MattGajtka @MarkLazerus Barb Underhill has probably coached half of the Canadian born NHL players at some point

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@DanHoppOPS He could (maybe should?) end up being a top 4 dman for 3 or 4 years at $3.25 mil. That's amazing if it works out that way.

Worst case, he's an appropriately paid 3rd paring dman.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@j_a155 And a skilled player who's played against grown men for a few years.

Maybe will end up not being an NHL player, but you'd at least think he'll be a solid AHL offensive d-man.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@JoshYohe_PGH And someone who will be in the pro system next season.

With Jake Livanavage, they now have 2 puck moving dmen on the left side.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@j_a155 He doesn't want to go there either

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@MattGajtka They've ceded all organizational power to McDavid over the years (hiring Jeff Jackson, Knoblauch, now Babcock approval), and they think he will be held accountable now?

It's like Dad's empty threat to "turn the car around" on way to the beach, after hotel is already paid for.

[Ryan Mance @Mance_22]

@walsha I get that you are working on behalf of players, and looking out for their best interests in sports...

But hyperbole like "eat dust for dinner" doesn't really help your side in the public image in the millionaire vs billionaire fight for most people.
