Jarry, Tristan

PIT

Additional Details:

The base of this deal is to retain on smith and gain either 1 big cap hit contract back or 2 deals back that improve PIT and clear space for VGK…lmk if these are players VGK probably wouldn’t move and who else should be dealt for their impending lack of cap space

As much as I love Karlsson he just doesn't fit on this team unless we move both Chych and Chabot and find EK a defensive LD.

Yeah NJD offers a 1st+ for Whitecloud+Roy. Reilly smith is not getting them

Dont like the EK deal but the rest seem reasonable... but What is the point of this?
If its to compete having 10m in dead cap is idiotic
If its to rebuild then picks/prospects need to be coming in not players

Pens fans in general are just too attached to the idea that VGK wants Smith back. The fans clamor for every ex Knight and especially the originals, but the front office has yet to bring any of them back and hasn't shown any reason to believe they want to

Beyond that thinking Smith is worth Roy + Whitecloud is HILARIOUS
