1. dont trade desmith until both goalies are signed past this year.

2. ok value for Bjugstad.

3. Gally doesnt get both pick and player

4. dont need more bottom 6 forwards and with that retention should get at least 2 2nds and a 3rd. Shultz gets more.

5. is fair value but dont think Glendening fills a need as a 3rd line center.

6. an over pay on dumba the pens do not need another rd that much.

1 - we're signing both so don't see it as an issue (or at least I would/think we should)
2 - I agree
3 - You may be right but either way I'd do it for Benson or a 4th tbh
4 - NJ 2nd is practically a late first the way I see it, didn't want to ask for a 1st and theirs because "2" firsts for him is too much.
5 - I think Pens personally need a good faceoff man come playoff time because its uber important, while I agree Glendening should be on the 4th line I think we could move around the lines to accommodate that
6 - I thought slight overpay as well but he would solidify our D core as one of the absolute best in terms of money & talent for the next 4 years

thanks for the response tho!

1. is a salary cap pens have a ton of rfa to sign

2.ok

3.ya gall has little value

4. with vrgas better off getting both there 2nds this year an a 3rd this year with a conditional pick in 2021 if he resigns.

5. a good face off man is a need yes but needs to be one that can be a regular 3rd line center not an in between guy.

6. Dumba has been very inconsistent this year and our d doesnt need him an ok 3rd pairing right d would do and save money.

1. having multiple talented goalies is a good things. Desmith could get more than a 4th and you never are sure of Murray's health. Need to get much more than a 4th to move him. And it isn't a given both goalies will be resigned. That is based on contract demands of Murray.

2. If that's the value of Bjugstad I'd rather see if he could be a solid 3rd line center

3. Gally is likely good as gone but every team knows that. Benson has 66 points in 68 AHL games. Not sure EDM would trade a prospect like that for a gamble on Gally. But the Pens would take it.

4. I'm not against trading Schultz but you could do better than that. A top 4 RH puck moving Dman is gonna get more than a border line NHL forward and a 2nd and 3rd. Also Vegas needs to shed salary to take on Schultz's contract. Cody Eakin and a mid round pick would be a decent return and he would be a good 3rd line center replacement if Bjugstad gets moved.

5. I like Glendening. Pens could improve on Faceoffs and don't have a good RH faceoff guy.

6. Dumba has potential but the Pens don't need him. He makes 6 mil for the next 3 years and is known for inconsistent and bad decision making. With Marino Clearly proving he is a top 4 Def why pay an arm and a leg for Dumba who is having a far worse season. Is smaller, riskier, and a cap killer.

Overall these are just bad besides Glendening helping on faceoffs. There is no upgrade at wing. In fact wing depth is worse. Dumba isn't much of an upgrade over Schultz if at all. That 3rd line is not good at all.

1 - if Desmith gets more than a 4th i'd be surprised tbh
2 - Jugs isnt worth what he makes and would rather get rid of a soft 6'6 C who we can spend his money on an upgrade
3 - I'd do Gally for benson straight up or for a 4th, i think his value espeically retained isnt as low as some people make it out to be..
4 - stephenson is a great depth F who's versatile and we're geting a 2nd which is basically a 1st from NJ and a 3rd from VGK, i admit i should've gotten a 2nd from vegas as well so Stephenson and 2 2nds
5 - glad we agree
6 - Looking at it now yeah we don't need Dumba
