Oh No! Not Another 2019 – 2020 Penguins Camp Preview
If you are like me, you have read tons of Penguins’ training camp previews already. You know what they say about opinions. On top of all of that social media allows us to ensure that everyone has access to ours.
We are now down to hours until our favorite flightless fowl open their 2019 – 2020 training camp. So having said that, you gentle reader, will be subjected to yet another know-it-alls preview;
Everyone has been trying to tell us who we should be watching this training camp.
The General Manager (GM)
One place no one has tried to direct my attention so far has been GM Jim Rutherford. Rutherford should have been GM under former Penguins’ owner, Howard Baldwin. The two of them really know/knew how to throw money around. I am not saying that our GM has put the team up against the Cap for another year. No, the team isn’t against the Cap, they are on the wrong side of it.
Team are allowed to spend $81,500,000 on players this coming season. With today’s announcement that GM Rutherford has signed Restricted Free Agent (RFA) Defenseman Marcus Pettersson to a 1 year, 1 way deal for $875,125, the team has a salary of $82,531,625.
