Wow the Pens somehow fleece 5 teams in a row??
Can't believe you haven't been hired irl these are all so reasonable.
You should be charged extra for the bytes of data you've wasted on this serve by logging this awful idea.
There are three things that are likely to happen this offseason:
1) The Penguins Trade Kessel
2) The Penguins Trade Maatta And get rid of JJ or Gudbranson.
3) Rutherford lands a bigger fish than people expect. (Like Trouba, who is a RFA that Winnipeg has essentially admitted they can't pay).
I don't pretend like I know value when I can't pick up the phone. The Vegas trade is a loss for the Pens in my eyes.. that is a cap trade. Olli for a 2nd isn't exactly a fleece.. People forget Olli had huge moments in the 2017 cup run, especially against Ottawa when it got tough to score.
So in the end, A couple more picks might be necessary... The Pens probably won't make all of these moves.. If you take the Zucker trade away, you can probably take the Vegas trade away. It is a website for fun to see roughly how a team MIGHT look while staying under the cap.
To the Trouba contract comment.. You are correcting me on a difference of half a million a year. I don't think Trouba has the value that Carlson had after winning a cup last year. Carlson got 8 years for 64 million. This is 8 years for 60 million... Not exactly absurd.
