Description

According to Rossi, Penguins are likely protecting:

Forwards: Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Rust, Kapanen, Blueger, Tanev
Defense: Letang, Dumoulin, Friedman
Goalie: DeSmith

McCann is a much bigger impact player than Blueger and Tanev, and I don't think it makes sense to lose McCann for nothing because those two are great together. Much easier to replace a 4th line player than a player like McCann, who is cost controlled for another season and can fit on almost any line. Tanev definitely brings something to the team that likely no one else currently can, but take the chance and protect McCann, who will now turn into Seattle's own Marchessault or Alex Tuch. Still possible that Seattle goes with Pettersson or Zucker (or even Jarry), but McCann should not be left unprotected, IMO. Maybe Hexy has a deal set in place to take Pettersson, but I don't like what we are initially hearing.

i don't think it would be the worst thing in the world to lose tanev's 3.5M. i love what he does out there but i think they can find someone comparable on the market

Agreed! He's great for the team and would suck to see him go, but you're absolutely right about finding his replacement vs finding one for McCann or even Zucker. Holding out hope that Hextall has a deal in place to take on Matheson, but so do 31 other teams.

I have been trading for Dube in my NHL GM mode for like 3 years now just trying to wish it to existence - you can't fight fate!
