Description
Penguins stop mortgaging their future and finally make an effort to add picks with expiring players instead of the other way around. No chance this will happen of course. I think all the trades are reasonable in perspective. Dupuis on the top line is a risk. All the young players on the 4th line is a risk, but they'll still be better than Lapierre/Sill/Adams and they could surprise some people.

Yes, the UFA signings are all overpaid, that's the nature of signing free agents, especially in a weak class. Richards would only be a one year deal. Franson and Frolik would have to be long term deals.

        You're short 1 player, unless you aren't having an extra player incase of gametime injuries.

        Comeau and Cole are overpayed, which works in your favor.

        Changed it. I try to error on the side of caution to make it more realistic. All the UFAs (Frolik, Franson, Richards) are in the higher end too. Thanks for the feedback.

        I think frolik could be had for less, that seems like an extreme overpayment. I think he'll get around 4.5-5 mil on a 3-4 year deal. The Richards contract is okay as long as it's only a year or two long. That's a realistic price tag for franson too.
