wow.. lets see if he cashed in big time playing with sidney

[danny darko]

pretty darn fair deal imo

[MrMastodonFarm]

Dupuis knows he has a good thing going there.

$49 million committed to 9 players at the start of the 2014/15 season.

Even if the cap were to jump back to $70 million by then, they have to fill out the roster with 14 players at an average cap hit of $1.5 million.

^^ agreed... I would almost think a half mill discount just to stay in pitt and be competitive for years to come is standard.

That's an awful lot of scratch for a guy who put up an average of 12 goals per season until he was put on a line with Crosby.

But i can see why the Pens would be willing to pay out big time for a guy who has proven chemistry with Crosby, even if the guy is 34. After all, Crosby has shown such difficulty in generating chemistry with his wingers...

Spells the end of the incredible Iggy era in Pitt

Seven of them have some sort of NMC or NTC, not sure about Dupuis. If he does, that would be 8.

Geno / Sid have NMC

Letang can list 12 teams he doesn't want to be traded to

Neal / Dupuis / Martin / Orpik / MAF can list 8 teams they don't want to be traded to
