Description

To me the Penguins will take one more crack at this. Don't worry to much about the picks I've traded away, there is a good chance they recoup them when they finally do sell off. You will notice I kept the 2022 1st as that could be a lottery ticket for Shane Wright.
I'm sure I've made a number of bad trades here tell me how to fix them. I think I've explained my thinking on them.
Burke likes a versatile team and I think this one is. It has the top finesse guys and it has bottom physical guys it has great goaltending and clutch goal scorer's. Biggest flaw is it's a bit old.

Trades

PIT

Ryan, Bobby

Additional Details:

Ryan is a Burke player. He is a finisher and he has a bit of truculence to his game. He has bounced back since dealing with his issues. Penguins get a bit of cap space here as well.

DET

McCann, Jared

Additional Details:

Penguins lose this trade in the long run but Penguins aren't playing for the long run, it's win now. Wings get a good piece for their rebuild.

PIT

Gibson, John

Additional Details:

Penguins aren't going anywhere without improved netminding.

ANA

Additional Details:

This was the price I saw reported for Gibson, but who really knows.

PIT

Gambrell, Dylan
Jones, Martin ($1,750,000 retained)
2022 2nd round pick (SJS)
2023 1st round pick (SJS)

Additional Details:

This is mainly a cap space move for the Penguins. Jones might be a solid backup? Gambrell looks like a good young 4th line center, who can be relied upon defensively.

SJS

DeSmith, Casey
Zucker, Jason
2021 7th round pick (PIT)
2022 7th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Sharks would love to dump Jones and getting Zucker in return is a win he has much better value then Jones and should be a movable asset. I think Zucker would be ok playing in San Jose being a Vegas native, so close to home. I may need to adjust picks here to get value right.

PIT

Dumba, Matt
Hartman, Ryan
Zuccarello, Mats ($1,000,000 retained)
2022 6th round pick (MIN)
2023 7th round pick (MIN)

Additional Details:

Zuccarello should look good on the 2nd line, Dumba brings more offense to the blue line and Hartman is a gritty player who is good at chipping in goals.

MIN

Dumoulin, Brian
Kapanen, Kasperi
2022 2nd round pick (PIT)
2023 1st round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Wild get Kap and a 1st for Dumba, not what they want but it is something. Wild get out from under the Zuccarello contract and I believe he would waive his NMC to play with Crosby and Malkin. Wild get Dumoulin, another guy they can dangle in front of Seattle and a cap dump by the Penguins and the Wild get a 2nd for Hartman rental. Not sure I have this trade balanced but tell me what you think.

Ducks decline.

Also why are Pens fans so caught up on winning another cup? They’re ruining their future by trading away all their picks and prospects and all their stars are aging by the day. Why not sell and begin getting ready to contend again in the long term? Pittsburgh’s window closed and they should start rebuilding for the future

Penguins won’t trade Kapanen or Marino. No way.

If you take out Zuccarello, Hartman, the 6th and the 7th it's close?
