If the things don't get fixed between Phil and Sullivan...

Team: 2018-19 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 28, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

First of all: I don't wanna see Phil leaving. He's a key player on our team and I don't see any real problem in what he did when he complained about his line change in playoffs. In fact, he's right, cause not just most of his best games were playing alongside Geno, cause Geno's best were playing alongside Phil either.

But if JR want to trade him anyway, I'd like to see that coming for Panarin (with the guarantee that Pens will re-sign to him for something like what I put here).

I think Gerbe would give Pens a little more depth and speed. So, I'm sure he would be a good fit in our scheme and would be a good asset to get on that trade (putting his injuries aside).

I don't like the terms to Jack Johnson's contract. 5 years to an inconsistent player would be too risky. But the rumours are too strong about that coming, so, unfortunately, it's pretty likely that we'll see that coming when FA begins.

As for Winnik, well...to me, he would bring depth and an improve on our physical game and PK.

PS: Obviously I'd prefer to see Kunitz be signing. But the rumours are strong that he'd have some good offers on his table. So, unfortunately for us, it's unlikely to see he coming back.

PS.2: I'm sure that will be some disagrees about the value in Phil/Panarin's trade. But that's my opinion about what would be a fair value.
