Description

Theoretically after moving Jugs+JJ that leaves us with just over 20M for 3F, 2D & 2G if we didn't promote/use anyone from LTIR. (guys in LTIR are all who I think may end up playing for us next year.)

First order of business is figuring out WTF to do in the crease.. It's not an easy decision and a decision I doubt Rutherford thought/wanted to be in after Fluery/Murray. I've been back and forth on who to keep and at this point have no idea who I'd rather.. although Rutherford did say Murray would've been his man come playoff time: https://www.nhl.com/news/pittsburgh-penguins-goalie-update-matt-murray-tristan-jarry/c-316829384

We have a serviceable backup in DeSmith for cheap, so moving 1 goalie doesn't seem like it would be terrible.. If I had to choose rn, I guess I'd go with moving Jarry. What package that looks like? Jack Campbell + Clifford fetched a decent return of T.Moore + 3rd + conditional 3rd, if Jarry if better + younger than Campbell, would it be a stretch to swap Labanc for Jarry? If so, what would either team have to add? I think this works out well for both teams, but I'd be willing to negotiate some other pieces if need be.

Additional Details:

My ideal off season would have these 2 traded to clear up short + mid-term salary. I doubt Jugs costs more than a 4th at most to move and JJ maybe a mid tier prospect + middle pick.
