Rust isn’t going to take some kind of hometown discount, but you might not have to pay full retail, either.Īging curves are a thing and it is why the end of Rust’s contract, regardless of where he signs, is going to be pretty bad.
#BRIAN RUST FREE#
If they want to buck up in free agency, whatever target with these impacts is very likely going to cost more than what Rust would probably accept from the Penguins. They have no assets to trade to acquire someone of this caliber. If the Penguins are serious about still contending you aren’t replacing this. Hot off the presses (released yesterday) here is a snapshot of who Bryan Rust is as he heads into his 30 year old season Own the path and do the best job you can. When Rutherford gutted the farm system and draft picks this was the only path forward. Keep pushing the chips to the middle and delaying the inevitable. Who honestly gives a shit about four or five years from now? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again you only get Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin once. I would re-sign Bryan Rust knowing the contract is going to be bad at some point, but who cares. The third option is the one I would go with. Depending on if Rust wants to max out even that might not be enough, but I think you’re in the ballpark if you’re the Penguins. My personal estimation is that the negotiations for the Penguins would have to start somewhere around six years for 6M per season. It shows restraint and the understanding that Bryan Rust’s next contract is going to get ugly at some point down the road. That is the cost of being in a win now window. You cant trade one of the best producing wingers who Sidney Crosby loves playing with because they might walk. It is either you’re all-in or you aren’t. It is a non-starter and makes literally no sense. Trade him because you don’t want to lose him for nothing and you don’t think you can re-sign him. The Penguins have proven to the front office that they are still quite competitive and it isn’t quite time to break the band up just yet.Ī big decision coming up, besides Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, is Bryan Rust’s situation. This also means the trade deadline is creeping up. The all star break is here which means the season is a little more than half over even if it feels like it has been going longer.
