the Chicago trade is a no.
I don't think carolina him for so little. Especially if they are still in the hunt.

Problem with carolina as a trade partner for any team is what columbus does.
If they trade out panarin and bob and basically tank the year away, it leaves a path for someone to come in, That could be carolina.

Big no from Chicago.

chi says no thank you, sweet of you to ask tho

Carolina says no, the asking for Ferland is a prospect and 1st.
Either way, since we are still in the hunt, he might just be our rental for the season.

Quite the opposite.

No one is taking that $6M cap hit without being paid to do it. Chicago is not getting a 1st for Saad unless they retain, considerably.

For Pittsburgh specifically, this deal doesn't work because Saad's horrible cap eats up the cap space needed for Guentzel's raise.

no chance pens give up Jarry for 2 months of Ferland

and no chance pens take on saads huge deal w/o money retained
