Description
Pens need to revamp their defense and I believe Dumoulin would attract the most interest. If not to LA, then to some other team for no cap back.

While I like Zucker I think he's a cap casualty. It does not make sense to buy him out so sending him out with cap retained is the best option. Not sure to what team but I selected Buffalo for this scenario.

Vegas is up against the cap and are prone to offer sheets (even though those are rare). I think offering Nicolas Roy something in the $3Ms means Vegas can't keep him.

Rakell's contract follows the structure of the Rust deal. Malkin & Letang re-sign for ~$16M total. This scenario only has them at $15.5M.

I think the Pens need another RH Center so I signed both Bozak and Lazar (even though Lazar really isn't a center).

I like this forward group but the d-corps would need some work during the regular season.

I ignored AHL signings but would want them to sign someone like Sam Anas. Mostly for the name but also because he's been productive down there.

I think it would be better suited for the pens to either trade Zucker to a team like AZ or Buffalo for purpose of buyout and then re-sign him to a much cheaper contract since they like him. They can add Kapanen to the deal so they get a young forward to actually add to their team and pens get like a 5th round pick back. Or they trade Zucker with a bit of retention like here, add Kapanen for like a 3rd round pick, and that crappy team trades Zucker with 2 million more retained to a contender for a 2nd rounder and maybe a prospect. I wouldn’t want to take Girgensons back since the pens could use that money to re-sign a better Heinen.

I really like this Zucker idea -- not sure I've seen it mentioned elsewhere.

Don't see why Buffalo would trade one of their alternate captains and best defensive players for a pens cap dump who is arguably worse.
