We can talk about NTCs, NMCs, retained salary, and all that if we want. But, as it sits, $11.5mil salary, $10mil cap hit, right? And, I'm honestly not sure on his movement clause - is it full NMC...

With rumors of Jagr signing and retiring with the Pens, and the impending raising of 68 (along with 87, 71 & 58 - the only three 1000+GP Pens and maybe 29 eventually), who else would be deserving...

PART 2 To assess lineups of each team from a position-by-position perspective, I again used Capfriendly data. I sorted active players, filtered for a minimum 41GP, by team, position, and TOI. T...

PART 1 My question is: Just how good or bad is the Penguins’ lineup? I used end-of-season data from Capfriendly to create this table (split in two for this post) to investigate how the Penguin...

After the season ending loss to the Blackhawks all the attention is on how the Penguins will miss the playoffs for the first time in 17ish years. Sadness, disappointment and frustration inevitabl...
