Description

Explaination for each trade/Free agent signing
Blackwood: he did really good for a really bad team last season and I don’t really have that much trust in Tristan jarry (I think he’s overrated)

Haula: I feel like he’d be a great 3rd line center for the penguins (the best since nick banana)

Hoffman: He can put up around 30 goals a season and I like having a goal scorer on a 3rd line.

Kempe: (the younger Carl hagelin) he brings speed to the lineup and he’s got the flow.

Trade with Detroit: basically a cap dump to remove one of the terrible trades Rutherford made as GM (Bobby Ryan can be a good 4th liner and Zetterberg will be put on Long term injured reserve. Detroit gets a solid prospect in return as well

Trade with NYR: Letang is getting up there in age and I also wanted to clear some cap space to basically rearrange the defensive pairings. Deangelo is underrated in my opinion and is a really good top 4 d man

Defensive free agent signings: basically I got guys who I thought would work out playing together and I really don’t like Pittsburgh current defensive pairings so I changed them up completely

Other: I kept petterson because I like his style of play, and I put Marino on the 3rd pairing as an option to move up in case of an injury or underperformance.

Extra: don’t have

The Rangers laugh histerically at your offer.

No only can they not afford nor want an ancient Letang, youre making them retain money on DeAngelo? LMAO!

That’s going to be a no on Matheson. No one in their right mind would take him on. You’re talking 6 more years and a backloaded contract. He hasn’t been right since the EP incident.
