I actually agree with P.K. that the Predators will probably be back. They have a great young d-corps and are about to have a very good young goalie, a few decent forwards and they're a juggernaut

Unlike the Sharks last year, I really felt bad for Sharks fans because everyone knew that was that team's last chance.

Yeah, they definitely will be back. They're a great team with a ton of potential. Hopefully Rinne can bounce back from this series. If the Pens weren't playing, I would have been rooting for them.

So how many guys just played their last game with the Penguins? MAF for sure, Cullen almost definitely, Hainsey likely. Whoever Vegas takes (Hagelin probably but I can still dream it'll be Maatta). Jultz maaaaybe but I don't think anyone will give him a big enough offer sheet that the Penguins won't match it.

Lay off Maatta. He came through in the playoffs.

I have to imagine they protect Shultz. Letang and him. I'd rather risk Dumo or Cole than Shultz.

Jake Guentzel interview on CBC. He sounds like he hasn't gone through puberty yet, I am not kidding

The Pens get to protect three defensemen, it should be Letang/Dumo/Schultz but I greatly fear it will be Letang/Dumo/Cole. I don't think JR is stupid enough to protect Maatta and I don't think Vegas will take him.

e: Although I won't at all be surprised if JR leaves Maatta or Schultz unprotected and then pays Vegas off not to take him.

Jultz is still an RFA right? Not like the Penguins could keep him anyway. I think Maatta will play better if the Penguins have Letang around to absorb more minutes.

it rarely works out like that tho. plenty of teams looked promising and ~should have~ been good years after never really hit that. even if youre good you need a lot of things to go right to actually make deep runs

It will take a legit megacontract, like 6/40 or something, to dissuade the Penguins from matching and I don't think anyone is going to give him that kind of offer sheet. I think probably someone is going to give him a pretty big offer sheet, like 5/25, but the Pens will grimace and match.

And if they don't they'll get a cache of draft picks which isn't the worst thing in the world.

Expansion draft is before the offer sheet period right?

when was the last time someone got offer sheeted? it'd be public if it happened & was matched right (as opposed to only if the sheet was accepted)?

I hope you're right, but I suspect at least one team out there both has cap space and has become smart enough to realize that Jultz is actually a very good defenseman despite not doing traditional defenseman things because he's so good at moving the puck.

Seems decent enough. I just don't want them to get themselves into cap hell when they have a fair number of contracts to get done in the offseason.

Cap hell is when you give big contracts to players who don't deserve them (but Jultz does deserve $5-6M a year) or long contracts to old guys (Jultz isn't old). If you just have so many good players you can't keep them all then that's a pretty good place to be, you just trade the excess guys and keep reloading. c.f. the Blackhawks, who are only just now beginning to transition from Too Many Good Players to Cap Hell.
