Polaris922 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Interesting article written prior to the news of Letang... which obviously changes things IF they anticipate him being out more than 6 weeks... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/five-keys-pittsburgh-penguins-39-2014-nhl-trade-154400304--nhl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 @Polaris922 Informative article, thanks for that. I'm shocked the writer failed to mention that the Pens can up the ante a bit, and have a team like the Islanders keep some of Vanek's money on their books, thus avoiding the whole "limited cap room" scenario. As we all know, the new CBA allows for that kind of movement....something the writer totally left out when constructing his article. The Pens throw in a 2nd round pick in return for the Islanders keeping 50% of Vanek's salary on the Island type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since they did exactly that in the Jokinen trade he so aptly pointed to! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
