prepare for next off season

Description
Next off season the Pens need cap space.....bottom line! So GMJR should prepare for this by trading Schultz now (since odds are he gets traded in the season anyway) for another RD with some upside. I feel that Risto is just not getting the coaching he needs in Buffalo. Let Gonchar teach him and he could become the player everyone expects him to be. The Ottawa trade is strictly cap relief and getting some youth in return. I love Duclair and I think his speed and grit is exactly what GMJR is looking for. Don't know much about Jaros other than he's a RD which is gold in today's NHL. Might need to retain on JJ but I was thinking the 1st should cover that. But with these moves, I think the Pens are in good shape this year (at least not worst) and are in a much better position next off season when Murray demands $8mil+/yr and still need to resign guys like Gally, McCann, Kahun, etc.

Problem with that is then the Pens are left with no starter. Desmith and Jarry had their chance last year when Murray got hurt and neither could handle the workload. And although you got goalies like Anderson, Lehner, and even Holtby as free agents next off-season....the odds of getting any elite goalie is slim. 1 - Pens won't have the cap space, 2 - most teams will let a player or 2 walk before an elite goalie unless they have one waiting in the wings.

Trade at the last year of his contract along with Gunransen to relieve cap space and sign an elite goalie

yea the issue is that teams usually don't let elite goalies go. Would love to see Holtby in a Pens uniform just to pi$$ off Caps fans laugh

Don't forget Murray is still RFA at the end of this deal....I would be shocked if he doesn't get a bridge type deal somewhere in the range of 2-3 years at 6mill per year. I'm don't think goalies are worth 8+ mill. Trade murray towards the end of my proposed bridge deal and replace him with something from free agency. but hey im not a GM so my opinions don't matter
