Использованы некоторые округления.

Пока из положительного:

- дешёвый контракт Ниеми
- неплохо подписали Ханвика
- усилили мускулы за счёт Ривза
- быстро всё решилось со всеми UFA, кроме Каллена

Пока из отрицательного:

- Шульц выжал из нас очень много
- Дюмолин и Шири выкручивают руки и тянут резину
- Ривз довольно неоднозначен по своей стоимости
- рынок уже изрядно разобран (Мур, Ганзал, Бойл уже ушли)

Alex'у выражаю благодарность за мониторинг рынка.

Yeah, that up there is young Zach Aston-Reese. Perhaps you’ve read a word or two about him on this site. If you did, you won’t be surprised at all that, in the course of the otherwise innocuous three-on-three scrimmage that closed out the team’s annual development camp, he eschewed all that open ice on a partial break to charge the crease and annihilate poor Sean Maguire in goal, mask sent flying, bodies sprawling.

Aston-Reese was penalized for that. In a three-on-three scrimmage. Where he was the one with the scoring chance.

“The closer you get to the NHL, the harder it gets,” the kid would say. “That just means putting in more work.”

I can’t love hockey enough sometimes.

In the second session, it was Daniel Sprong’s turn. And his approach, while less physically imposing, might have been even more threatening.

Sprong’s team scored eight goals in that scrimmage. He had only five of those.

“I’ve tried to focus on my defensive game, doing the right things on that side of the puck,” this kid would say. “On the other side, I feel like my skill will take over.”

You think?

Wow. Both of them. Just wow.

I’m not sure when exactly the Penguins most recently had two forwards of this pedigree coming up the pipe, but I’m sure of this: Their timing couldn’t be more perfect.

Because if one were to take a step back from these 24 hours, away from the Stanley Cup sentimentality, the contract minutiae, the cap room and all that other stuff, what matters most to the Penguins is what’s coming next. And my singular takeaway from the day, if forced to condense, would be that Jim Rutherford took exactly the right first steps toward a third consecutive championship.

Which is to say, he didn’t get in the way of those on the way.

No, that doesn’t mean Aston-Reese, the NCAA’s scoring champion this past winter, and Sprong, who cracked the NHL with a cameo two years ago before dominating the Quebec League this past winter, will make the Penguins out of camp this fall. If anything, based on Rutherford’s response to my question Saturday, they’re already slotted for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for half of the 2017-18 season or more.

Handing rookies scholarships, regardless of skill level, would fly in the face of how this franchise has conducted itself during these two remarkable seasons. Bryan Rust, Conor Sheary and Matt Murray had to earn it. So did Jake Guentzel. And because of that, they fit beautifully into an existing dynamic. They were embraced. They were respected. Most important by far, they were that much readier to meet the demands at hand, not least of which are Mike Sullivan’s expectations on and off the ice.

That’s fine. There’s time.

интересно реально камбекнуть Якопова? С Шульцем получилось. По факту Якопов сейчас ничего не стоит.

У Летанга нет такого броска. У Летанга есть отличный пас. Но в нашей бригаде - это, на мой взгляд, несколько менее дефицитный товар.
