PIT is absolutely not doing that trade. No chance. Nor are we buying out Rakell. 60 points the season before this one.

I actually like the Barron trade and see it as a decent swing for Pittsburgh. Montreal has pressure to move him (waiver eligible) and I think he would fit well there. That Tanev contract would probably not age well.

-we dont need any more right shot defensemen and you acquired 2 while displacing ek65 to his off-side.
-bringing back teddy to upgrade the b6 when he already didnt play well or score much when he was in pittsburgh is like slapping a band-aid over the gaping hole at the bottom of the titanic
-there will be someone to take reilly smith, he shouldnt be brought back.
-the rakell buyout is aggressive but then again im willing to buy out ryan graves.
-the b6 needs more attention and help.
