Add Guentzel and it might be closer to being fair...but Jones is a beast...gonna take a loooottt to trade for him

I had a feeling but me might actually need to give up offence for defence

You could also start the trade with Letang...?

Malkin 1 for 1

Letang could get better if he doesn’t get injured

I think that might be to much he put up 80ish points last season and I think pens won’t trade him any time sooner

26 points and +41 differential from the season before, it could be seen as decline

Wasn’t he injured last season

Seth Jones would at Letang and a 1st and then pieces would get added by the Pens...

Played 68 compared to 78 the season before

Honestly now that I think about it letang and couple others for Seth would be a good idea and we will get a lot of cap space for next years FA

Yah I guess your right

Jones starts with Guentzel then keep adding. Jones is a legit 1RHD. He's young and cheap too.

We need Guentzel offering letang and couples others and picks might be the only solution

I think Jones is pretty untouchable.. borderline elite D, future norris candidate, and seems to enjoy playing for columbus (which is esp important to the jackets after this summer)

Every team is trying to win so if we offer CBJ a solid deal they might take it plus the picks that we give they can draft more players and that might also help them in the future

How does the CBJ trade actually help the penguins.
They have a legit 1RHD. and they have 2 legit 2RHD.
If you are going to bring in Jones, Letang is the guy who has to go.
That way next year you are looking at Jones and Marino in the top 2.
But none of that helps if they are giving up a lot of other stuff.

Ik that’s not going to help the pens this year but we will have a lot of money for the FA in which we can bring in really good players and we will money to resign Justin Matt

they aren't going to resign Justin. He's gone.
I'm ok with that. Marino is better anyway.
If anything by TDL they should look at moving him. They won't need him and they can get a huge prize for him.

What do you think will be a good return for Justin then

1st + good prospect.
It's hard to find RHD puck movers.
Just look what Shattenkirk pulled in and he's no where near as good.

That’s the thing it’s hard to find good RHD puck movers and that’s why I think out all Justin is going to get I nice contract and trading letang and get someone younger might be a smarter idea

Of course Schultz is going to get a big pay raise. Let someone else make that mistake. The penguins don't need to.
You have to know when to get out on top.
Jones is a good player, but at what cost to get him. It's not worth all they would ask. I doubt they would even seriously consider moving him.

Yah CBJ is going ask for a big price and at one point that would be to much so who else is out there that’s got top 4 young RHD

I'd rather have Jones over Malkin.

Then we need go get something nice back for him 80 points + guy
