What do you think? I don't think Eichel gets traded, but what would it take without taking from the core?

So two cap dumps, a goalie that Ullmark was better than. Some late first round picks and some prospects, I think the Sabres decline.

Literally outside of Crosby and Malkin, the Pens couldn’t make a trade happen without it being ridiculous amount of quantity, and then why would BUF do it because they wouldn’t be getting cap relief.

Don’t forget that we’ll retain, because why tf not. Make it 2M per year in retention, or better yet 3 per year

I wouldn't really call them cap dumps. Bjugstad was just injured all year and Horny is overpaid by a mil, but both can score 20+ every year. either way salary would have to go back to BUF from PIT. What would you be looking for from PIT?--I understand PIT can't give the best offer but...
Poulin is our top prospect, PO Joseph is up there also.
