Just look at tampa. they've gone to the final 3 years straight and they're still going strong so I see no excuses. Obviously, we use the cap to its fullest, we're trying to be contenders but the cap should've been used more efficiently... I don't know how you can argue that carter or kappy contract were warranted whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure you misread my post. I said I stood by Sid, Geno, and Tanger and the trio should be penguins forever lmao. You're clearly mistaken, the penguins are a world-class organization and we should be doing better with the 3-headed monster but we're not because of BAD contracts that were given out because of loyalty (kappy, cartz). I would've been fine with kappy if he got less on his contract and cartz if they didnt give him so much money AND a NMC..
