Description

Would love to trade graves and even jarry but feel its unlikely so only moved smith. Eller as a 4th line center would be extremely deep down the middle. Somehow need another top 4 d man and need to pray guys like poulin pono pusty can make that next jump. Dont think yager or koivenen will be ready next year

Hawks decline. POJ has no value from the Hawks perspective. They don't need another LD.

You overpaid each of the RFA’s. Also, Smith will not cost us anything to move. He can return a mid to late pick if we want to move him.

There's gotta be a full moon in Pittsburgh or something. This amount of nonsense is unreal lately.

Puustinen was the luckiest penguins all year. He was given prime opportunities and did basically nothing with them.
I don't really see the need to play him next year.
