Speechless

MIN decline, Dvorak as negative value, he is an overpaid 3rd line center who can't stay healthy
Kent Hughes isn't giving assets to get 'rid' of certain players
How Dvorak can be worth a 2nd round pick + 4th in your head but Armia cost a 3rd to dump when Armia has been playing well for the last 3 months ...
MTL have no interest in drafting Iginla when one of Catton/Lindstrom/Eiserman will be available
PIT traded Guentzel, they ain't trading future for Savard, especially for a prospect they got in the Guentzel deal ...
Who the **** you think Peyton Krebs is lmao I like the kid but he is a 4th liner with 3rd line potential, he ain't worth a 1st round pick + B prospect

Savard has negative value to PIT, and they arent high on Kidney, so politely say **** off.

Calgary declines. If they don't get Lindstrom or Yakemchuk they'll take Iginla themselves.

Not a fan from Pittsburgh's perspective.
Savard is pretty expensive for a 3rd pairing defenseman. I think we can get a better RD3 in free agency for a lower cap hit. I doubt either Chatfield or Desharnais will command $3.5M.
As for Kidney, his transition to the AHL was rough. I still think he's got a good chance to be a good NHLer, but there's less certainty around him now. I like Lucius, and don't see a reason to swap prospects.
