Description

I'm not sure if OTT plans on extending Kubalik, but financially he's a realistic option for the Pens.

With the emergence of our current bottom pair, Ruhwedel has become expendable. Ruhwedel is exactly the type of #7 dman OTT could use to bring some stability and reliability to the back-end.

I would have given a 2nd to OTT for Kubalik, but he's off to a slow start, so it's a slight gamble for the Pens hoping he can rediscover his offense.

I'm aware OTT fans will overvalue Kubalik lol

you could actually get him for much less, but considering if ott makes their way to contention, pens may need to overpay slightly. by over pay i mean maybe just the 3rd or a 4th lol

sorry didn't see the retention, this is probably accurate in terms of cost for that

Duclair could be a similar alternative too

Yeah, it's possible, but he will likely cost more than this.
