Description

While I personally think Rust remains with the Pens, I'm not 100% convinced. My gut tells me there's a 30% he bounces for the Wings.

Letang? I'm 50/50 on him staying. I think the Pens will offer the right money, but reports are he may want to play for rebuilding Habs.

All that said, this is if both Rust and Letang decide to bounce.

What I'm unsure about...

Gio - Not sure what his market value is, so I could be way off or dead on.

Palat - Is he worth $5Mish? Probably, but I think the term in his signing drops his price. At this point for the Pens term means nothing.

Havent followed the development of Poulin a whole lot, but him and Comtois might be a bit overkill for Murphy

murphy deal is wayyy to much, why flip zucker if you are acquiring dadanov, nucks may have to add but if they do a little.

I think Murphy is an underrated RD. With CHI going to rebuild they will get competitive offers for Murphy. Poulin has been improving in the AHL, but I still don't think he's a good prospect, but my perception doesn't really matter. The perception on him is still decent so I think he has value.

You may be right though. Murphy's value is hard to evaluate.

I honestly don't know what the value of Murphy is, but he's a very solid RD. Probably better than Marino, so I look at it as an upgrade, but I'm fine to amend it.

That said, Dadonov produces more than Zucker, so it's a production upgrade. That part should be obvious.

Absolutely not from Anaheim. I don’t think I’d do a 2nd alone
