15 Days Until March 3

Team: 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 16, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Some tweaks to the bottom-six. I'm not a fan of making an ACGM with more than two trades but here goes nothing. I'm guessing Hextall makes two trades max at the deadline.

Send Blueger to a Western Conference team in need of PK help for a mid round draft pick and use that draft pick as an asset to help pick up a 3C. Might end up being a cost effective move for someone with the ability to have a positive impact on puck possession such as Suter. Finally, Labanc would be an intriguing add as someone with both positive offensive and defensive metrics. His cap hit isn't great, but I would rather take a chance with him in the playoffs and next season over Kapanen.

Things I also considered...
- Thinking about Seattle as a trade partner, I wonder if a Soucy/Blueger swap with draft picks involved would work.
- Wondering if San Jose would make Sturm available.
