Polaris922 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Kennedy is up as a restricted free agent. His recent salary was $2 million per year. The Pens have to offer him at least that to avoid him becoming unrestricted. Do you feel they should? I like the kid. He shows courage and determination. He looked off this playoff season until he was benched. THEN he played like his arse was on fire. Until then though.. the season was a pretty big disappointment for Kennedy and Pens fans. Personally... I think they should let him go. He's not worth that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 @DaGreatGazoo Is that Kennedy...or Byfuglien? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 @Polaris922 Sheldon has scored plenty of timely goals in his Pens career. My gut here says remember him fondly and part ways, there are up and comers who will show the same heart and tenacity for less money. The Pens have got his best years, but Shero does not seem like the sentimental type...just the opposite in fact, cold and shrewed. Kennedy has played his last game as a Pen.

He fits under the cap this year and if he has another sub-par year you go in another direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 @B21 If I'm Sheldon, I want to capitalize on my situation and parlay into a mutli yeared deal...ie security. Why take the chance he might suck and thus drop his ability to get a long term deal the next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why take the chance he might suck and thus drop his ability to get a long term deal the next year?He's RFA. If the Pens' offer $2,000,000, he get to decide if it's 1 year or 2, no? If he thinks $2,000,000 is too low, I would think he would take the 1 year deal and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 @B21 Ahhh, my bad, thought he was a pending UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nossagog Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm not sold on bringing back man-bear-pig. $2M/year isn't a great cost, but what does he bring. Power play, no. Penalty kill, no. He has a habit of scoring big goals in the playoffs, but is near invisible at times also. He can easily be replaced, maybe by someone who can pick up some Penalty Kill time too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Forgive me Pens fans, where I came up with Sheldon I don't know...ha ha...90's flashback! Not trying to take away anything from the Tyler, but he has really made a living off those two goals in Detroit a few years back (and some BIG goals aganist the Flyers I seem to recall)....and yeah know what, when both goals are the only goals in a game 7, every respectalbe org should repay this with an obligatory contract....as long as he continues to work hard....which he has. Noss makes a great point here though, with the limited cap space, the more situations a guy can play in, the better. He's a one trick grinding pony when a mulit fauceted guy is really needed....and just might come cheaper.

Polaris922 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 @jammer2If the two goals in game 7 you're referring to was in winning the Cup against Detroit, that was Talbot. . It's all good bud it's all that Canadian beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I hate Kennedy, he always scores against the Flyers and hope he goes to a WC team. Tired of looking at him also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
