Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Didn’t include brassard trade because at the time, it looked like a great deal for pit. On paper we acquired our best 3C since staal.

I didn’t remove the kessel Trade because I think kessel was as good as gone regardless.

I didn’t do anything crazy, just to show how bad some of the moves GMJR has made. This team is such a contender and much better than the current roaster both now, and in the future

Trades

PIT

STL

Don’t know if Pens we’re gonna draft Kostin but for arguments sake let’s keep him here

PIT

STL

Additional Details:

Never signed as UFA

PIT

Would’ve been a tough one but I think Pens would’ve been better off letting hornqvist walk as a UFA

ANA

Hörnqvist, Patric

PIT

Biega, Alex

Additional Details:

Would’ve been a much better trade option. Sure Pearson had a rough year, but he’s a young top 9 forward who could easily score 20+ goals. No need to take back a stinker contract like Gubranson.

VAN

Gudbranson, Erik

PIT

Ferland, Micheal

VAN

So much better than tanev. This guy could score 20 on pit. Also plays a physical game. Tanev signing was so brutal.

I am saying he already reached his potential...

That's your opinion and your entitled to it.

Like I keep repeating I really hope you’re right lol. If he’s even half as good as Kunitz I’d be thrilled

Well since we're talking about it, What is half a Kunitz exactly?

well half of "Prime Kunitz" (2013 and 2013/14 seasons) would've been anywhere from 20-25 goals and around 35-40 points

So the high end is essentially 20 goals 20 assists. Tanev scored 14 goals and 15 assists last year. Is 6 extra goals and 5 assists really that big of a jump?

Plus I'd argue Kunitz best year was 35 goals and 68 points. If we're being literal in the points dept, Tanev would only need a few more points to be half a Kunitz. Lol @ saying that out loud in my head.

Tanev is not a 3.5M player right now. I'm saying he could be if he takes another somewhat small step and reaches a potential he wouldn't have been able to do in WPG. Its not a impossibility for a player whose improved his offensive numbers every year he's been in the league. We're not talking about 20 more here. 4-6 more goals and 2-4 more assists. Playing alongside Crosby for a couple games could get him that alone.....
