You could barely get a 2nd for Maatta much less a first and a second.

So wrong. Pittsburgh doesn't have the assets to acquire Panarin unless you're trying to send your 2019 and 2020 first.

You are so wrong. Montreal is not giving you a 1st + 2nd for Maata.

I would probably do that. Panarin playing with Malkin gives me a hard on. I think hornqvist would be a player the jackets would like to get though. What say you?

thanks for telling me how wrong

Well, here's how right I think you are . . . I think the Wild would love that trade, although given their need for right-handed forwards, they might prefer Anthony Angelo to Bellerive. But you'll have to wait to hear from one of them, like @arousedcat or @MNBassman

The Penguins have no desire to add a 34 year old rental center to the team. Especially at the cost of a 1st round draft pick.
Where would they get a 3C for next year with no assets to trade?
This is a team trying to get younger. They want to add speed and size. They have 2 years left in a window after this year at best. Any move they make at this point has to account for that window.
None of this does.

I like it (also, changed my username to @TanSor ).

I'd be very happy with a 1st + meh prospect for Staal. Anthony Angelo (what a name) suits my fancy.

Class always shines through.
