i agree flames wont take spare parts for him and that is rightfully so, those are not spare parts. should they take that deal, really depends on direction they want to go. i hope they would not as a pens fan.
But they are spare parts. There's nothing there that's great and you need to give up something great to get something great.
Lafferty, Sam - 4th liner
Poulin, Samuel - good not great prospect
Joseph, Pierre-Olivier - good not great prospect
Bjugstad, Nick - good 3rd liner
2020 1st round pick (PIT) - late 1st rarely turn into anything great
2021 3rd round pick (PIT) - even worse odds of turning into something great.
Flip this on it's head. Would you trade Gunetzel for that package? Doubt it.
