Description

This post assumes:
-PIT falls out of it and sells off Jake and Ned at the TDL
-Dubas acquires a top-of-the-lineup type-ish player (Zegras)
-All acquisitions have shorter term contracts which leaves PIT in a position to sell many assets at the next TDL if things go south again
-Most if not all the acquisitions I made in this hypothetical post are or have been rumoured to be available through trade recently or thereabouts

No chance Nieto and Ned is worth a 2nd let alone a potential 1st rounder. Canucks easily decline. Can’t see that offer getting zegras. The best piece would be the pens pick cause it could be a high draft pick but with top 10 protection it’s not really worth much.

That’s a hell of a package you want for Ned.

3rd rounder, keep it simple

Ned gets a 2nd easily as EDM, TOR, NJD, DET, CAR, COL, SEA at least would be interested... Ned will prob be the best G available at the TDL if things go south for PIT...

the VAN trade was just 2 struggling wingers swapping... I don't think it's unrealistic if both teams were wanting a change of scenery...but PIT should add something to that trade...

Zegras is interesting bc although he's scored some sick goals, he has not yet put up star numbers so I do believe any offer would start with 3 good assets so I view him kind of as Chychrun in that his team doesn't have to move him bc he's young still but he like Chychrun is not a #1/#2 forward or D but more of a #3 on a championship team quote on quote...
