Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More

I can't even believe how awesome Sid is. He left so much money on the table just for the sake of the team's cap space. He literally might be the most unselfish person ever.

[gregtallica]

How blessed we are to watch Sid for his entire career, here in the Burgh! Thankful! #87

[jokezonu]

as a canadian, you guys are so right. the sports media up here say all kinds of crap to stir the pot for viewers. penguin fan since the mario era. as a fellow maritimer, i knew sid would stay in pitt. to a maritimer, home is home.

[Jgardonis]

I LOL'ed that after all that. It was basically the same deal he's had for the past 12 years. Love it though. I wonder if that means he plans on playing just 2 more years after this. It definitely brings me into a retrospective view of his career and to stop taking him for granted, because there will truly never be another one like him.

[theodorebelmont]

8.7 aav again. Cheers thanks Sid for being so superstitious with the number 87. It's helped the Penguins get more talent around him to help win championships. Cheers Sid 🎉

[Andok]

This camp is going to be very interesting. There are several players that could be lost on waivers, if they don't make the NHL roster. There are also several prospects that could see some NHL time this season, even if they don't make the opening day roster.

[Wolfe]

Canadian Media punching the air right now.

“Crosby out of Pittsburgh? “
“ Crosby to Montreal “

[bryanelliott]

Glad you mentioned tristan broz. I think he looked like the best player on the ice in all 3 games. Mcgroarty looked good as well. Ponomarev had a great game against the senators. Brunicke can really skate for a kid with his size. I think this pens prospect pool might be grossly underrated. Sabres and senators both have top 10 to top 15 prospect pools and other then juri kulich for the Sabres the penguins looked like they had the best prospects. Juri kulich looks like he could become a really good player for sabres

[Albyc]

What did you think of Brunicke? To me he’s looked like the best dman in every single game. I never watched him before this tournament so I was shocked how good he looks. Genuinely looks like he’s got #1 dman potential

[theodorebelmont]

Come onto YouTube and saw a bunch of shows with news about Sid. I chose to listen to Locked on Penguins 1st

[chickenalaking]

Haha, all this "waiting" to sign the most obvious deal ever.

On with the season!

[JohnSmith-jbjf]

I was surprised it was 2 years and not 3. Smaller AAV than reported by Friedman too.

[MayhemMatty]

THIS IS A REASON WHY (mostly) EVERYBODY LIKES/RESPECTS CROSBY. I honestly really hope this makes a statement in the league if the Penguins go deep in the next 3 years. I don't blame players for demanding more money. It's no different than questioning management for a pay raise at work when you've been a great asset to their business/franchise for years. Which rises the sporting question again. would you rather win or make bank? There's no wrong answer here, only just subtle consequences. And if you do both, then you're something special and definitely worth the peak you're earning. Man, I'm so glad I got to see the greatest Captain of our era play, and score! It'll be a hockey night in Pittsburgh soon, I can't wait.

[johnstaniszewski]

The Canadian media thinks everyone wants to play for the Maple Craps

[pbdecodedpb]

Rutger McGroarty looks like a passer in his highlights. Hopefully his goals and assists are analogous to Matthew Tkachuks. Hopefully RM goes to the net like Tkachuk.

[Andok]

Two years takes Sid to the end of Geno's contract. Geno's said that, after his contract ends, he wants to go back to Russia to play in the KHL, to finish out his career. Does Sid re-up for two more, to take it to the end of Letang's contract...I'd be surprised if he didn't.

[austincurry]

I figured he would resign for 8.7m/year. He could've signed for more, but going into his late 30s, I don't think he cares to make more, and he wants to help this team.

[pbdecodedpb]

It's about time to change the conversation because SID SIGNED. Bye ridiculous Canada trade rumours, oops I mean bye felicia.

[mobileQBpwr]

This 2-3 million he saved the Pens will come into play later on when they make a move for a legit top 6 player/top 4 D just wait. I can almost guarantee he's been in contact with Dubas about every single move made now and the future

[vipeholmskolan]

Agree, keep Graves away from Karlsson!
