Description

Crosby issue: As GM I would do whatever he wants, if he wants to go, trade him wherever he wants, and if he wants to stay then keep him. I think that even if GM would ask him if he'd want to chase another cup on another team he'd probably insist on staying a Penguin for life.

Habs decline. Price is LTIR and Dvorak is done after next season, not worth taking Rakell on

Hawks probably decline. They likely aren't ready to move on from Kaiser yet.

I agree. However, I could see Kaiser being moved early next season if he doesn’t take a solid spot on the roster.

Prices contract is LTIR and like 85% insured. He also only owed 15m in the last 2 years. Rakell is full cap hit for another 5 years. To move that deal, the Pens would have to eat anderson and add a 1st
