keeping it real! Follow me if you love the Pens and hate jersey fouls!

@MarkKaboly @JoshYohe_PGH Yeah, versus winning 2 SBs in 46 years?

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@JoshYohe_PGH Also bet 20 year old Jordan Staal would have said you’re crazy if you said it would take 17 years to happen again.

@MikeKellyNHL 99 overall for diving too

@TomGulittiNHL Bruins sweeping Pens in 2013?

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@bobgrove91 Reffing the score lol

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@CompleteChaos2 I watched the emods and stocks too. Just as good.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@PennOhioRacing Well that’s not good!

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@SethRorabaugh Very welcome. Same reason I love reading about them!

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@SethRorabaugh These are great Seth thanks for the read(s)!

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@markhagelauer Yeah I’m hoping he turns out to be a head case and no big loss.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

I can’t believe how bad this makes the Steelers look. Crazy.

Behind-the-scenes look at the #Cowboys’ Stephen Jones and #Eagles GM Howie Roseman negotiating the trade that allowed Philly to move up to No. 20 and draft WR Makai Lemon.

Dallas wanted Philly to call so they initiate the talks.

@markhagelauer It’s not bad that another team jumped them. It’s bad that they were so oblivious it could happen they 1) didn’t lock the spot in with a late round pick and/or 2) actually called the dude before they were even on the clock.

@PenguinsJesus @937theFan 35+ are not buyout proof!! There’s just no cap relief. Pens would save 1/3 of actual salary and the roster spot but have the full cap hit the last 2 years of the contract. But they 100% can buy him out.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@JoshYohe_PGH You’re right, but I wonder what a healthy Florida team would do to them. I also thought the same thing about Utah last night then Vegas won. It’s so hard to say.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@Penguins667187 @Fansville412 @oldsage1958 @Cory_Tucek No team is going to give up an asset for a 40 year old to be with extensive injury and health issues. So you either buy him out or pay an asset to get one of those 10 teams to take him. Again highly unlikely.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@Fansville412 @oldsage1958 @Cory_Tucek Pens would save 1/3 of his actual remaining salary and the roster/contract spots. So it does have value if you really don’t want him any longer.

[Vince Laboon @vincelaboon]

@oldsage1958 @Fansville412 @Cory_Tucek 100% incorrect. You can buy him out. You just get no cap relief and pay the entire cap hit over the remaining buyout years. He cannot be waived due to his NMC and even if he could, over 35 only gets $100K of cap relief so he can’t be buried in the minors anyway.

@jmarshfof 3 years, $9.5M, and a 65/35 split next year. I don’t think Murashov will be as lights out as a rookie as people think.
