NICE

DOnt know much about Andrei Kuzmenko but it could be a smart signing from the KHL (if he is allowed to leave). If not him we have the cap to get a current NHL player who can be top 6 for us (Rakell, Forsberg, something like that)

Pens counter MP and Kapanen for Jt Miller

What a nice original comment. These become more effective each time

In all seriousness this deal is not nearly as stacked as that, and if the Pens have a strong interest in Boeser this isn't so unrealistic

Halak at this point has 0 value or at most is worth a 7th

He's been awful. Even at 1.5mill yikes. Would not spend a 3rd on him let alone any pick

Yes it is. The pens have a plethora of forwards. Would another scoring one be nice? Sure. But they don’t have a plethora of top 4 RHD. Boeser would be a rental because to even sign Rust, Letang, and Malkin alone we need to get rid of a big defensive cap hit, Kapanen, and Zucker. And even then wouldn’t be able to sign all 3 still. Boeser who wants the same, if not more than Rust while being less productive would make it impossible to sign all 3 of those guys. Letang and Malkin are also the top 2 priorities. Then it’s Rust. Boeser would be just impossible to re-sign for the pens. Not to mention, Top 4 RHD have significantly more value than middle 6 wingers like Boeser as it is. Now add into the fact that his QO is awful makes him less attractive. Y’all can keep him.
