Shake it Up

How the hell is Lucic an upgrade over Johnson? You guys are just getting ridiculous

These Murray trades are just getting embarrassing

I think Pens can and should move him for something like a late pick but a lot of people think otherwise. If they can`t I say move him just to get the drama over with and Lucic at least brings more of an enforcer element that could help the Pens. If I can`t get anything of greater value with JJ I say you still go for it.

That trade is fair and works for both teams needs. Compher and McCann are similar in value and Murray can get a second plus a prospect easily. Timmins is a good player/prospect but not a home run either and with what Avs have on D right now and in next few years they aren`t going to miss him. The second for an Avs team in win now mode too isn`t a big deal either. They have more than enough in the pipeline and still a decent amount of draft capital. Simon is a depth throw in good fringe player for them too. Avs get a franchise goalie entering his prime. I would say the Avs slightly win this trade because they get a true #1 and only have to give up things they won`t really miss. Pens get their 3C right shot and a young cheap dman for their third pair.

Lucic is actually still a decent possession driver. His hands are kinda gone which is the problem. He's not a complete liability on the ice like Johnson.

Way too expensive for how little he does though. That said, If Calgary retained, I would take that swap in an instant.
