NJ won’t be a Rakell charity center. Maybe try San Jose.

lol no chance from vegas. I wouldn’t do a 3rd for non retained smith, and wouldn’t touch that with Brisson in the deal

why would vegas give the penguins more than they gave to take smith back??

That schultz deal is awful and Owen Pickering is not playing for the penguins next year. Needs to be a mainstay in the A first at least.

I also think you can get debrusk a bit cheaper.

Rakell will be tough to move for contract purposes, a hockey trade may make more sense there.
