Description

So it looks like Smith is going to be out "Longer Term" from the Zadorov hit last night.

He hasn't been playing well but the penguins have been and sit 3pts outside 3rd in the Metro. If they're anticipating him being out until the playoffs I think we see Dubas get on a trade here in the next few weeks to get in before deadline madness and values go up.

$5M could net the penguins 2 solid players.

Any thoughts from pens fans on targets?

Would say these are easy sellers at this point in the season:
Ottawa
Minnesota
Anaheim
Columbus (wouldn't probably work with the Pens)
Chicago (not really anything to sell)
San Jose (maybe back to that well given summer EK Deal)
Montreal

Would say Buffalo, Seattle and Calgary are fringe sellers (Seattle has been hot but i think they'd be wise to sell)

Could actually see the Wild being interested in this, but for the life of me I can't figure out why Pittsburgh would be

I like the Merrill idea -- maybe POJ for Merrill and late pick bc the young upside of POJ?

No longer interested, would rather just give you Merrill for future considerations

I truthfully don't know much on Merrill, but the pens need an update in the bottom three of the bottom 6 of their defense. So it's an idea.

Maybe he finds some kind of form elsewhere, but Merrill is currently one of the whipping boys in Minnesota. He has not been good at all. As I said above, I would happily give him for free.
