Just stop w these posts already. You are embarrassing all the fans from Pittsburgh who actually know the sport, the few that there are. Why do all of you overvalue Pgh players??? You guys think these role players are worth blue chips. I'm shocked you haven't followed the hockeybuzz rumor and traded Kessel (good contract w term) for Stone (UFA) yet. Maybe Pgh should trade Brassard, J.Johnson, Maatta and Cullen to the Kings for Kopitar and Doughty and have LA retain max salary and throw in Gretzky's silver stick for good measure. SMH so much I got whiplash.
Teams rarely, if ever, trade within their division, especially to rivals. DeSmith isn't getting traded for a few reasons. First, he's on a cap friendly contract. Secondly, he hasn't played a large enough sample size just yet. Thirdly, Jarry hasn't proved himself capable of being consistent enough to backup at the NHL level just yet.
Then you trade Oleksiak with picks for picks and comment how NYR need picks but are giving up more than receiving. Cogliano is no way a 2nd line player, Grant in place of Aston-Reese YIKES.
