Trades

PIT

Dubois, Pierre-Luc
Spence, Jordan [RFA Rights]
Thomas, Akil [RFA Rights]
2025 2nd round pick (LAK)
2025 4th round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

LAK get out of the Dubios contract and PIT takes the chance on Dubios knowing they will need a young center sooner than later with Malkin having two years left. They get younger with Spence and Thomas too

LAK

Bemström, Emil [RFA Rights]
Eller, Lars
Karlsson, Erik
2025 5th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Random but LAK go with the back end of:

Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Karlsson
Englund - Clarke

They get a 3C to replace Dubois down middle and a bottom six winger

PIT

Järnkrok, Calle
2024 5th round pick (NSH)
2024 5th round pick (VAN)

Additional Details:

I would take Jarnkrok but stick him on the fourth line since he is solid two way and he can mentor Ponomarev

TOR

Acciari, Noel
2025 4th round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

A player TOR fans miss

PIT

Chiarot, Ben
2024 4th round pick (DAL)

Additional Details:

PIT gets a veteran partner for Letang

DET

Smith, Reilly ($1,000,000 retained)
2024 7th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

DET gets a winger to replace Perron and saves $750K while getting out of the extra year of Chiarot. Plus this allows them to go:

Walman - Seider
Edvinsson - Petry
Maatta - Sandin Pellikka / Holl

PIT

2024 4th round pick (SJS)

ARI

Graves, Ryan ($1,000,000 retained)

Detroit declines.

As much as Red Wings fans want to run Chiarot out of town, Yzerman loves what he brings to his team.

Smith is regressing fast and his bloated salary will be tough to move.

You can save yourself about $5M on Stamkos 😅

Maybe if he stays in Tampa he takes 5 million. But he was still a point per game player with 40 goals last season. 10s too much but I can see a bidding war if he hits free agency.

Because he was on the leagues second best powerplay, where Kucherov reigns. He's a liability at 5v5.

81 points, yet -21.

Pretty easy no from red Wings. Don't even see why they are adding the pick

Stamkos isnt going to get that much and we shouldnt be signing him. No to Jarnkrok I'd rather just have Acciari he fits that role better. Red wings decline.

these trades are horrible for the penguins.

Stamkos 6x4 is my guess
