Description

Archibald probably gets waiver claimed at some point this season. I really don’t understand that signing at all. And I’m not knocking Archibald either. He’s a more than capable, legit NHL bottom 6.

But It’s not like the Pens don’t have depth with Poehling, OConnor, Zohorna, Puustinen, Poulin, Hallander.

They could have(should’ve have) used that 900k-1M on Larsson or Milano. Seems like that amount might get it done too. It seems like the UFA market has dried up.

Heinen is 26 years old and coming off an 18 goal and 33 point season. And he can be plugged-in up and down the lineup without being a big drop off or downgrade. And he couldn’t get a deal more than 1 year at 1M per.

I’d hate to trade Friedman. He’s on a good contract for 2 seasons and can play LHD/RHD equally well. But with Ty Smith and Ruhwedel they can afford to move him. And Ty Smith has options so he can be moved up and down all season and not have to pass through waivers.

I hate to move Nylander too but he’s a top 6 or bust winger prospect and with Guentzel, Rust, Rakell, Zucker, Puustinen, Poulin, OConnor, Legare he’s blocked and the Pens could afford to move him too; as a sweetener.

Pens system is the thinest at RHD and is lacking any good RHD prospects. So getting Ian Moore and a draft pick would be nice.

Anaheim fans probably won’t like this trade but Friedman is on a good contract for 2 seasons and should be able to be traded at the TD to a contender.

And Nylander is only 24 years old with NHL experience and coming off a 22 goal, 42 points in 67 games season in the AHL.
