Changes

Pens decline all of these. They make 0 sense

Edmonton says no imo

Not a single trade here is in the Penuins' best interest.
Buy out Granlund instead of giving up a lotto pick in a deep draft to get rid of him.
Jack Campbell is not worth his contract and wasn't even Edmonton's starter last season. I would rather have Jarry/DeSmith than Campbell/Nedeljkovic, they have more upside and less risk imo.
Marcus Pettersson is our best defensive defenseman and last year was our most consistent defenseman. Both Gavrikov and Girard are good, but were less consistent and less defensively sound last year. Getting one of them to pair with Pettersson makes sense. Getting rid of Pettersson does not.
That's $2M more than I'm willing to pay for Tarasenko. Great sniper, but on the wrong side of 30 and he and Malkin on the same line does nothing good defensively.
Eller, again, the age problem on this team.

All of this is making changes for the sake of making changes, not for the sake of getting better. I don't really think it is better than what we had this year.

Giving up way too much for Girard. Avs also need cap, so it'll be pics and prospects to get girard, can't be sending Cap back

Also, just buy out Granlund, thats a waste of a 1st.

Of course Anaheim says Yes, but that trade is horrible for Pittsburgh.

For starters, the Penguins have one of the shallowest prospect pools in the league, so trading away the 14th overall pick in this year's draft is an absolute no-no. Doing so just to dump a contract disposable by other (and relatively painless) means merely compounds the error. As @Haymaker26 intimates, buying Granlund out is simple, clean and effective: a $833,333 cap hit this season and three $1,833,333 smacks in the following seasons, as the cap ceiling is increasing (probably annually).

From where I sit, Haymaker is right on the other counts, too.
