I think any deal with Bennett right now takes a ton of conditions on the draft pick, I don't mind this deal though and the same could be said for Galchenyuk

you're gonna have to move the needle. tatar has 50 points in 55 games and 20 goals. he's gonna cost u more than that

A 1st, conditional 3rd, and middle six forward isn't moving the needle?

late first and a injury prone forward. no thanks. we have more than enough middle 6 players

More importantly, Montreal has no need to move Tatar and want him for next year. The price to get Tatar this year will have to force their hand. The deal mentioned above is no where close.

Tatar is a UFA after next season. If im any team im not trading a top 3 prospect for him. Im trading my 4th and 6th best prospect, a 1st, and another conditional 1st if he re-signs. And then I dont re-sign him, hes going to be 29 and no thanks

ok, Thanks for explaining why your team wouldn't get Tatar.

Youre not getting more than say Kaut/Bowers/Kamenev + fringe D man and a 1st for Tatar

And what is the return going to look like for Tatar?

a 1st and at least poulin or legare

domi is the player the pens should be hunting,,,, great fit with crosby think bergeron and marchand

No franking way is he worth a 1st and a blue chip prospect/former 1st round pick. That was essentially what the Pens payed for Kessel, who at the time had significantly more individual success in this league that Tatar. You are out of your damn mind.

Change the conditions on the 3rd so that it becomes a 2nd if Pit makes the 2nd round this season or next and a 1st if they win 3 rounds total over the remainder of Tatar's deal and MTL would probably take it. Pittsburgh is a contender so it's an easy sell to the MTL fanbase as an almost guaranteed 2 1st round picks, even if they are late 1st's, and Bjugstad's contract isn't awful (not good value right now but 4M for one season shouldn't hurt MTL much).
Not sure if Pittsburgh takes the deal, since if they make the finals this year then somehow bottom out next season they wouldn't have their 1st, so maybe top 10 protection on the 2021 pick if it became a 1st. Plus I doubt Pens fans would like trading, potentially, two 1st round picks. Pittsburgh accepting depends on what they feel their window as a legitimite contender is (because there is no way they don't see themselves as a contender right now), and does 2 shots with Tatar on the roster give them a better chance than in that window than whatever else those picks would bring, whether it's the guys picked or other trade options.
Tatar is not only one of the best forwards available at this deadline, possibly the best available, but is also under contract for another season. Rentals of Tatar's caliber typically cost a 1st, or a prospect with significant value.

poulin is no where near an A level prospect. hes a B plus prospect, and his upside is a middle 6 forward with a really good 2 way game.
