I'd hold off what the rebuild would look like posts until 87 71 58, and now 65 all are no longer part of the team it could be 2 years from now when 87's contract is up it could be 5 years from now when 58's up. Who knows what this team will look like by then.


For the record I remember people saying we should blow it up and trade 87, 71, 58, and 29 prior to the B2B cups.

This post was an idea for what it would look like in 2-3 years, not right now… I’m not suggesting a rebuild, this is just the type of thing and the type of players I see is trading once we miss the playoffs a couple times… that way our veterans like Sid and Co will mentor the young players in their last season or two

Most of these look like they gigantically favor the Pens

What is LA getting here to warrant giving up either of Pinelli or a 1st, let alone both?

Just general ideas for the future, obviously no one knows the future but this is just in general the type of returns I would expect for these players
I based this off past trades between teams… as far as where these players went, that would depend on demand and need
