Description

This is how I would choose to build the team for a run at the cup this year and for the next couple. I don't think Addison or Poulin should be moved. Beyond that, all prospects are available. I also don't see Bjugstad, Schultz, or Galchenyuk in the Pens future. So, if they can be moved for assets, I think they should be. Do I think all these deals will or can happen, no. But, if possible, I'd like to see them happen.
These moves also allow us to evaluate a couple new players, but still able to resign all of the free agents next year.

Trades

PIT

Larsson, Jacob
Rakell, Rickard
2021 4th round pick (ANA)

Additional Details:

Rakell is a great forward on a great deal. Should fit in great with the Pens. Larsson is a good young LD that would probably do better in PIT than ANA.

ANA

Bjugstad, Nick
Hållander, Filip
Joseph, Pierre-Olivier
Riikola, Juuso
2020 1st round pick (PIT)
2020 3rd round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

When Bjugstad is healthy, he's solid. I think he's a better Western conference center than eastern. I think he fits in Ana. Riikola is throw in for swap with Larsson. POJ and Hallander provide O and D prospects. Plus a 1st and 3rd.

PIT

2020 2nd round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

Pens get 2nd that they can turn around for...

WPG

Schultz, Justin

Additional Details:

Winnipeg need an upgrade at D.

PIT

Granlund, Mikael

Additional Details:

Granlund needs a change of scenery. I think he fits in well with PIT.

NSH

Galchenyuk, Alex
2020 4th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Galchenyuk also needs a change in scenery. Will probably be a UFA next year going somewhere on a cheap deal to 'prove' himself. Granlund might be able to command more than a 4 and a throw in, but based on production this year, probably not much.

PIT

Daley, Trevor

Additional Details:

Add Trevor as a 3rd pair/depth d-man for the playoff run. He knows the Pens and Sullivans system.

DET

2021 7th round pick (PIT)

Buried

Casey DeSmith: $175,000 ($1,250,000)
