Okay, what is wrong with Sprong? like 75% of Pittsburgh trades seem to involve him. He is point per game in the AHL, but everyone is ready to give up on him.

I don't really see how you are adding speed when trading hagelin...... and Bjugstad is slow

I like the creativity here but would be tough to pull off. If Pitt can add either Grabner, Athanasiou or even a sign and trade for RFA Max Domi I think that would help them. 100% agree Sheary and Hunwick need to go and if Hagelin creates cap space then go for it. Even without the Bjugstad deal here, that RW group looks solid. Trade Sheary for a 3rd round pick to clear $3M in space.

Defense is still suspect, they need some bigger and better defenders and Letang to get back to normal, he was brutal this post season.
