Description
This one might actually make sense for both teams. It works on the cap for both.

Not sure about including Sprong but I don't see a spot for him in Pitt's lineup any time soon anyways. And I feel Mtl needs to get a forward back in a Galchenyuk deal even if it's not the main piece. Sprong's junior and AHL numbers are also pretty impressive...

Certainly doesn't solve all of Mtl's problems up front but the improvement on the back end could be pretty huge and help the transition game and in turn team offense.

Yeah grin I'm doing a little more reading on Sprong though, I think it's probably way too greedy to include him in this trade unless Mtl adds more lol... But we can dream right?

I do think Galchenyuk for Maatta makes a lot of sense though.

Maatta is currently playing great hockey so I don't think PIT is interested in trading him right now, and in the event of injury, Sprong is probably the first forward called up. I like Galchenyuk but I don't think he can really be a quality center, I see him more of a top 6 winger

I totally agree about Galchenyuk being a winger, but Darren Dreger specifically mentioned his name in connection with Pitt's search for a C so that's pretty much the only reason I did this roster. I was really surprised that was the info Dreger got but it is what it is.

And for Maatta I've seen a lot of Pens fans on here saying he's playing great, but is he really indispensable though? He's still their fifth ranked defenseman in total ice time so far this season, and more importantly 5th by a pretty big margin at 5 on 5... Seems to me like he can be sacrificed to add another potentially very dynamic offensive forward like Galchenyuk.
