I allowed one move - dealing Marcus Pettersson to Seattle for a third rounder in 2023 and a fourth rounder this season.
But, hey, Artemi Panarin got an $11.6 million cap hit out of New York recently, so if $10.8 is the projected market value, that’s what I am going to use on a hypothetical seven year contract to get Gaudreau to Pittsburgh.įor the purposes of realism, I’m not going to indulge that all of the Pens’ least desirous contracts can be wiped away magically. This dream started practical enough - Evolving Hockey has Gaudreau’s projected contract at $10.8 million annually for eight years. This wormhole led me to where else but CapFriendly and their “Armchair GM” feature, where people can mess around and create the lineup of their dreams. This concept of “having cap space” is really rare for the Penguins.

Could the Penguins actually sign Johnny Gaudreau? Coming off a 115-point season, Gaudreau has got to be the biggest free agent out there. That got my mind racing down a dangerous wormhole. Whether that’s just bringing back Rickard Rakell, or maybe looking at someone like Gaudreau remains to be seen.
If it’s Malkin going elsewhere, do the Penguins try to find another 2C? Or perhaps the team moves Jeff Carter into that role and uses Malkin’s previously earmarked $9.5 million cap hit to sign a third-line centre and a top-six winger. It’s also the first offseason under new ownership Fenway Sports Group, who have deep pockets and big ambitions. Scanning The Athletic yesterday, it was impossible not to see Hailey Salvian list Pittsburgh as a potential Johnny Gaudreau landing spot.īut should the Penguins lose one or both, they will have significant money coming off the books and roster holes to fill while still being a cap team with Sidney Crosby as their captain.
