Buffalo needs to be harder to play against too. Doesn't seem like we should be taking guys you wanna move for being too easy to play against.

so lets get this right.
The penguins retain on Jarry for years, take back dead cap space they don't need and only get a 2nd.
NO.

Every single one of these trades is bad for PIT

The problem is those guys are the ones the pens currently have that they need to keep cause they are harder to play against. This person always makes trades just to make trades. It’s a useless trade for the pens when they have almost 5 million in cap space and can afford to just keep those 2 players who were the only 2 players that consistently showed up in the bottom 6.

I'm good with the Stamkos/Monahan/Joshua signings.

Not the biggest fan of the goalie decisions though. And I think you desperately need to spend that extra cap on some kind of D upgrade.
