Description

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PENS NEEDS TO DO - As of July 7th

1- Trade JJ contract and admit he is not a good pairing w/ Schultzy - I would be ok w/ him as a 3rd pairing but him w/ Guddy
make Zero Sense having a $7m+ 3rd pairing.

2- Need a RH top 6/9 Winger - Pens have enough top 6 guys but they are all LH-Forwards - Plus Need a RH guy on the Left wall
to replace Kessel on PP (Bjugstad on 2nd PP)

3- Find a younger & cheaper 2nd or 3rd pairing LHD-man. (The new Petersson28)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Traded For :
- Tuch - 6'-4" - 222lbs
- Jones - 6'-3" - 220lbs Scouts say - "Must be cautious of playing over the edge"
- Larsson - 6'-2" - 205lbs Scouts say - "Can go to far w/ his aggressive play"
PLUS last year-
Bjugstad - 6'-6" - 218lbs

Trades

PIT

Condon, Mike ($1,200,000 retained)
2020 6th round pick (SJS)

Additional Details:

- Condon is due $3m in salary this yr.
- This option only costs OTT $1.2m in salary w/ Pens paying other $1.8m for a player who will play in Minor League all yr but also only count $125,k against Pens Cap.
- OTT gets back 2 players back who will play in NHL in J.Johnson - a solid 3rd pairing LHD and a speed demon in A.Johnson.

OTT

Johnson, Jack
Johnson, Adam [RFA Rights]
2020 5th round pick (PIT)

PIT

Additional Details:

- Both JONES & LARSSON are late 1st Rdrs but both are listed as #8-#12 on most Ducks prospect listings.

- Another chance to get 2 young players that I really like.
Jones - is a beast at 6'-3' - 220lbs and can absolutely fly.
Larsson - is a Defensive D-man that can move the puck.

ANA

Additional Details:

- Rusty is tough to give up w/ his ability to play on all 4 lines and how he usually is on the ice at most important times.

- Jarry is a fav of mine but w/ the Ducks having the great Whitehall John in net are good but having an ageing and oft injured Miller as a back-up is a concern.

PIT

Additional Details:

- Tuch is a young 6'-4" - 220lb Horse that can skate good for his size. IMO, this kid has not touched his potential and is a good 2-way player. I'd put him on Right side of 87 & 59.

VGK

Aston-Reese, Zach [RFA Rights]
Hållander, Filip
2021 1st round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

- ZAR has been injured a lot of his short NHL time but still has great upside if he can stay healthy. When playing tho is a great 2-way player that can play on all 4 lines.

- Hallander is our best forward prospect.

You can't get rid of Jack Johnson's contract that easy. Anaheim wouldn't want to give up young guys as their team is so old. As well they don't need a goalie prospect. Vegas is trying to win now, so Tuch (who has a very good contract) is more useful to them than a prospect and a pick.

I thought I mite have given too much in ANA deal for 2 guys that havnt played in NHL for a full season & VGK deal where a young 3rd liner & 3rd-4th goalie is worth ZAR, our best prospect and a 1st either in trades to but wasnt sure about Johnson trade bc who knows what happens there b/c it only take 1 GM that still thinks he's good PLUS who thought Subban would go for nothing or what the Heck GM's are thinking

word is JJ is going to ANA and it's virtually no cost. They need a LHD.

Yah, Ive heard a ton of dif rumors on him all summer from dif places he could go and dif costs of the trade .... ANA does have a bunch of LHD tho - Lindholm, Flower, Larsson, Mahura, Guhle but only 1 RHD in Manson. Im a big Mahura & Larsson fan tho if we could throw in something else w/ JJ to get 1 of them back. PLUS we do need to our annual yearly ANA- PIT trade, anyways, lol.
