****** 3 - TEAM TRADE "BREAK-Dahn" ******* ~ Pittsburgh - Nashville - Chicago ~


PENS GET :
~ R/LW- F. Forsberg #9 ------------- Forsberg is a fav player of mine & love how he plays a physical & Skilled game. He becomes a Top 5 Wing w/ 87 or 71 at C. {+ He already hates WSH!!!}
~ C/W- C. Sissons #10 -------------- Sissons is a perfect 3C for Pens - 26, locked up @ decent Cap hit, good on PK, great 2-way & face-off guy, + is RH (Which Sully loves)


HAWKS GET :
~ G - M. Murray #30 --------------- A 25-26yr old 2- Time Cup winner + Hawks need a Top Goalie w/ UFA Crawford at 35.
~ RW/C- N. Bjugstad #27 ----------- Juggs had core surgery but is a Top 6 RW or #2-#3 C & playing for a contract (Motivated). Played great at 3C for Pens at end of last yr but had {bad luck} shooting %.
~ 2021 - 2nd Round Pick [PIT] --- *CONDITIONAL PICK* - (Depending on Bjugstad gm's played)


PREDS GET :
~ L/RW- B. Saad #20 ---------------- Saad is one of the most under rated wingers in NHL, Does everything very great. * Brings a Cup winner to a team that has been snake bit.
~ RW- A. Nylander #92 ----------- Nylander is only 22 still & in 1st full season. Ultra high skill (when he figures it out) - Could be a steal.
~ LHD- J. Riikola #50 [RFA] ------- Riikola is #5-#7 D-man who never got a fair chance w/ Pens. + his Lytics are great.

MY PENGUIN ROSTER ~ BREAK-Dahn :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FORWARDS :

Line - 1A ~~~~ 59 - 87 - 16 ~~~~~~~ Seriously?? The GOAT w/ his sidekick Jake & now w/ Zuckers Speed - Wow
Line - 2B ~~~~ 19 - 71 - 9 ~~~~~~~~ Geno & Forsberg w/ the speedy / snipping Cann-Can
Line - 3A ~~~~ 11 - 10 - 17 ~~~~~~~ Parise & Rusty on a 3rd Line?? LOL, w/ the under-rated Sissons @ Center
Line - 3B ~~~~ 13 - 53 - 72 ~~~~~~~ Horny is not a 4th liner but he wouldn't care & adds scoring to 3B

- Scratches ~~~~~~~ #49 / #37 ~~~~~~~~ Jones & Lafferty make this a Deep & versatile Team

- 1st Call - Ups : C- J. De La Rose #23 / RW- A. Angello #57 / LW- D. O'Conner #__ / C/LW- J. Bellerive #64 / LW- S. Miletic #80 / LW- K. Bjorkqvist #20 / LW- F. Hallander #__ / **LW- S. Poulin #22 [Jrs??]

~~ [OR] ~~
59 - 87 - 11
16 - 71 - 9
17 - 19 - 72 ~~~~~ McCann is a very good C but IMO he could be a Great LWer
53/49 - 10 - 13

____________________________________________________________________________________

DEFENSEMAN :

Pair #1 ~~~~ 8 - 58 ~~~~~~~ A Top 3 Top Pairing in NHL
Pair #2 ~~~~ 28 - 6 ~~~~~~~ Both of these players haven't even reached their best Hockey yet w/ both at 22-23yrs old
Pair #3 ~~~~ 76 - 4 ~~~~~~~ Schultzy coming back for cheap solves a big hole & Mahura is a stud

- Scratches ~~ #24 / #56 ~~~~~ 24-Forbort is too good to be a #7 & 56-Juulsen pushes Schultzy for 3rd RHD spot

- 1st Call - Ups : RHD- M. Bowey #74 / LHD- P-O. Joseph #73 / RHD- Z. Trotman #5
