Description
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

***** Alexis Lafrenire to The PENS ~ (I have a Time Machine & this is a proven Fact) *****

~ Pens have Five Cups...
* Alexis last 3 letters = Six
~ 15 Years later - There is another Draft Lottery, where The Pens will Win the #1 Pick
~ The #1 Prospect is also from Rimouski, same as when we won it (or Mario rigged it) in 05'
~ Rite after they just had a Big Jersey Retirement in Rimouski for that same player from 15yrs ago when we won that Lottery ?????
~ Where that player became close with this player in Rimouski and hung out and became BFF's ???
~ Where there are the Same rumors that Mario & Bettman have made a side deal again ???
**** And BTW, don't the Pens deserve a good young player ?? ~-~-~ We have only had like 2 - 1st Rd picks in the last 15 yrs anyways, We definitely Deserve this !?!?!?
- Its just meant to Be

***** TIME FOR THE PENS TO GET THE BEST PLAYER AGAIN bc IT'S WHAT WE DO ******
~~~~~~ Mario in 84' / Sid in 05' / Alexis in 20' / The next Great Player in 31' ~~~~~~

THE [3] - TEAM TRADE w/ [PIT] - [CAR] - [VAN] ~ "Break - Down" ~ {1st Three Trades}


PITTSBURGH PENGUINS get :
- RW- M. Necas #88 - [$863,] ------ EXACTLY what Pens need - Young Top 6-9 RH-RWer w/ Low Cap hit, can play - Left wall spot on PP#1, does NOT need protected (Expansion), & will push Geno late in Career.
- LHD- H. Fleury #4 - [RFA] --------- The former 1st Rdr has never got a starting role for [CAR] & at 24 already - a change & Gonch could help him re-boost career.

[PIT] Loses : LW- Zucker #16 & RW- N. Lagare (Prospect)
- Winning Lafreniere The Pens will have enough LWers & The need is a RH-RWer (Now) & a JJ replacement
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

CAROLINA HURRICANES get :
- RW- B. Boeser #6 - [$5.85m] ---- A Top line of Svech - Aho - Boeser could have D-men having Nightmares
- LW- S. Baertschi #47 - [$3.36m] "OR" [$2.2m in AHL] - This is a cap dump but #47 is only 27 & gets healthy?

[CAR] Loses : RW- M. Necas #88 / LHD- H. Fleury #4 / LW- B. McGinn #23
- The price u pay for an Elite player like Boeser, PLUS [CAR] is also Prospect rich & can replace any position.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

VANCOUVER CANUCKS get :
- LW- J. Zucker #16 - [$5.5m] ------- Zucker is fast & as quick as any winger. On a line w/ #40 could be scary good.
- LW- B. McGinn #23 - [$2.1m] ----- McGinn is a sparkplug kind of player & w/ Ferland's future in question, this is a great replacement.
- RW- N. Lagare - [Prospect] -------- Hurts to trade Lagare but the kid will be a Top 9-6 RWer & play that Ovi spot in PP #1.

[VAN] Loses : RW- B. Boeser #6 / LW- S. Baertschi #47
- VAN get a Top 6 to re-place Boeser & a Ferland replacement or the players to even trade another high cap hit Forward (Sutter or Beagle),
VAN also gets a Top 6 RH-RW in a yr or 2 in Lagare. VAN gets some Cap room room to Re-sign - Markstrom & Toffoili w/ the Cap dump of Baertschi

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


~~~~~ I DESIGNED this TEAM to ACQUIRE all PLAYERS POSSIBLE that are EXEMPT from THE SEATTLE EXPANSION DRAFT ~~~~~

* To make this Team Younger {much needed}
* To keep this Team together for the last 2-3yrs of "The Core 3" of [87-71-58]
* We will need to Protect : 7F / 3D / 1G
87-71-59-19-17-13-53 / 58-8-28 / 35 [ #6, #88, #75 All do NOT need protected]
- Prob would need to make a deal to keep G- Hill #31 & LD- Fleury #4 & Move #72

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


*** PLAYER / TEAM : DECISIONS & REASON's WHY ***
1) - LHD- Jack Johnson #3 to WBS [AHL] - It will cost to much to trade him, we don't have the assets to move him, & He simply is NOT a NHL player anymore.
2) - C- Nick Bjugstad #27 is he healthy? / can he play next yr? I have the Cap space now so why give him away for nothing, while he has 0 value? (if healthy could move another player for picks)
3) - #3 LHD spot Battle - Pens usually keep [8] D-men anyways & always liked Forbort's more physical style & gives Gonch time to work w/ Fleury.
4) - Horny #72 - I kno I kno he is not a 4th liner but would he care? + he can move up & down. Most IMPORTANTLY- gives us ability to ALWAYS role 4 legit Scoring lines (Instead of killing 87 & 71 all yr)
5) - Lafreniere #11 - start him on 3rd line to ease him in to NHL instead of putting him w/ 2- HOFers rite off the bat.
6) - [UFA] signing of L/RW- M. Granlund #64 - 1yr @ $4m Per after a down yr is a Steal bc he could be a perfect RW for Sid - 64 is a 25 times more skilled Simon type of player.
7) - I have 24 players & maybe 25 w/ Juggs - would need to sneak 1 or 2 to WBS or Trade 1 or 2 guys for picks bfor season starts - BUT isn't there always 1 or 2 Pens hurt, lol?

    4.
    PIT
    1. Hill, Adin [RFA Rights]
    Additional Details:
    - Adin Hill is one of the best younger Goalies in the NHL & A Hidden Gem that reminds me of M. Murray (w/ a better glove, lol) w/ his size & calmness in Net.
    * Hill would be a Perfect 1B to Jarry & having the Vet DeSmith as the #3 would give us depth.
    + Having 2 Young Goalies only take up $3m - $3.5m would help this team w/ Cap staying Flat.
    ARI
    1. Aston-Reese, Zach
    Additional Details:
    - ZAR is a good bottom 6 younger forward on a controlled contract, is a great PK guy, & is 1 of best Def Forwards in NHL.
    *HCRT knows his worth.
    5.
    PIT
    1. Bouchard, Evan
    2. McLeod, Ryan
    3. 2021 3rd round pick (EDM)
    Additional Details:
    ** Isn't This What We Do?? **
    - Take all the best RHD-men from [EDM] - Schultzy - Marino - Now Bouchard - Next yr Bear?

    - Seriously, BOUCHARD is a Fav of mine & has hockey sense like Marino (A+) & could be a very Good #2 RHD in a cpl yrs & also a solid #3 next yr. Needs to improve his skating & his D-play but he is young.
    - McLEOD has size & speed (very fast) to be a Good NHL Center but doesn't always show up [needs kick in arse], If he ever puts it together could be a solid bottom 6 NHL Center.
    EDM
    1. Almeida, Justin
    2. Murray, Matt [RFA Rights]
    Additional Details:
    - I know Murr's had a down & injury riddled yr but he is still a 26yr old, 6'-4" , 2 - Time Cup winning Goalie, + just last yr started the last [25] gms & single handedly got us into Playoffs, & He still has worth to "REAL" GM's.

    * [EDM] needs a proven winning Goalie that can help McJesus win an actual playoff series bf he wants out of Cursmonton.

    - ALMEIDA is a small skilled prospect just coming off a 110 point WHL season.
    6.
    PIT
    1. Tierney, Chris [RFA Rights]
    Additional Details:
    - C. TIERNEY is Nick Bonnino 2.0 :

    A 26-27yr old - very smart Defensive 1st - 3rd line Center who played more of a 2nd line Center role bc of lack of Centers on prior team & put up ok numbers before coming to Pens.
    OTT
    1. Riikola, Juuso [RFA Rights]
    2. Rodrigues, Evan [RFA Rights]
    Additional Details:
    [OTT] is the perfect team for :

    - E-ROD is a fast & quick bottom 6 Forward that is a Center 1st but can play all 3 pos just as good & never got a chance in [PIT]. Is a RFA but should get a $1.2m tender.
    - RIIKOLA is a very good #5-#6 LHD-man at least (look at his Lytics) that can play either side just as good but was also never liked by Sully & never played?

    Oilers trade is comically bad. Also, Necas is worth more than Boesser, so no way Boesser gets Necas +


    U kno whats comical - Trading Breadman for Saad

    - I agree to disagree, I think the 3-way is kind of fair - They are very hard trades to make, I actually changed it like 6 times, lol
    - Raanta actually had a good yr
    - If EDM traded us a #1 RHD for a 6th rdr in Marino - why not Bouchard for Murray


    Yeah raanta had a good year but they have kemper and need to free some cap so raanta will be the odd man out and keep hill as a cheap backup. Edmonton obviously had no idea marino could play otherwise theyd never do that deal. Bouchard is a high draft pick with big upside not unknown like Marino. Saying theyd do it because they made a mistake before ismt really sound logic. Plus murray isn't exactly going to get teams all excited with how hes playing.

    I agree, I just am a big fan of Hill - he actually reminds me of Murray & how plays & his size.
    but every time I talk about Hill, everyone is like... who? He just don't have the hype, I guess?
