Pens do some trading

Created by: jasondomitrovic
Team: 2019-20 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 17, 2020
Published: Aug. 17, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Toronto gets their younger starting goalie of the future in Matt Murray. They get two defensemen and one under a great contract in Pettersson. They get a cheaper C/Wing in McCann and they rid themselves of some bigger salaries so they take on Jack Johnson for a few more years. The Montreal Trade helps both teams across the board. The Buffalo trade helps the Sabres get the grit and toughness upfront that they need. while getting rid of a D man that wants out. The Minnesota Trade helps the Wild shed themselves of Ryan Suter's salary and they pick up some nice young players for their rebuild in Riikola on LD, Johnson the very fast speedy young center and Rodrigues the versatile young Center/Wing who is very cheap in price. On the Penguins side they get the Scoring and Speed they need on the Right Wing Side with Nylander and Kapanen. Domi gives them the grit they want and desperately need and Tie Domi is excited because his boy gets to play for Mario Lemieux's organization since they are very close buds. The Penguins get Rasmus to help out on defense and he doesn't cost a ton but he is still an upper end D man. And yes the Penguins take on a bad salary in Ryan Suter but the Penguins NEED a veteran Left Shot D man badly and Suter can play a TON of minutes effectively still. Minnesota gets younger for their rebuild and the Penguins go again for the Cup with a defense that can actually win in the next 3-5 years. This does get the Pens under the Cap BUT with Signing Tristan Jarry they would have to trade away a player like Kapanen for "Kap Space" or Letang to a team that has a cheaper right-handed shooting D man and thus moving Risto into the second pairing and the newly acquired player in the Letang trade to the third pair. Either way, Jarry MUST be signed but NOT too a crazy high contract but rather a longer term deal that fits our future. Casey DeSmith is a perfect backup and he can win at the NHL level.

Nice troll lmao. These trades wouldn’t go through in NHL 15 with easy difficulty. You gotta give something good to get a good piece in return, unless you’re trading with Chiarelli.

For real though, I feel like you’ve put effort into this this, but the value is really off. For example, that package isn’t really enough to get rid of Johnson’s contract in a trade, how is it enough to acquire Ryan m Suter, an elite defender with amazing defense.

Toronto needs this positions filled. Minnesota needs to get younger and rid themselves of those two brutal contracts of Suter and Parise. Risto wants out of Buffalo and the Sabres need players like Horny and ZAR that can score in the net front and actually play defense like ZAR who has some of the best numbers in the league Selke wise. And the Montreal deal gets them a BIG tall center that they don't have and a proven player in Simon who played with Crosby and since he's young he will grow with the young Montreal core going forward.

It's not so much about getting RID of Johnson's contract as it is in helping Toronto get a young Defensemen under a TERRIFIC contact in Marcus Pettersson and getting a goalie of the future in the young proven Matt Murray who Dubas really likes. And getting a versatile Jared McCann who is very cheap helps replace the forwards they give up. And in the meantime Johnson would play 3rd line minutes and give them some big body strength they need to hammer in front of their own goal and then his contract runs out in two years and they say bye bye.

MTL have Danault, KK, Zuke and Evans at C. No need for that trash of yours. Get real youre not getting a player like Domi for depth players.

Simon is very good on both sides of the puck and Big Nick Bjugstad would be good for them at center I would think. Domi was not getting the play time under their HC so word is he's on his way out.

Mistaked Adam for Jack lol. Point still stands though. Scraps don’t get you an elite defender. Depth guys don’t get you a top 6 center/winger in Domi. Toronto sont trade Nylander. Why would they trade for Murray if they have Andersen unless they know he’s walking in free agency. Even then, they could get Murray for Kapanen and a 2nd instead of trading Nylander. Johansson can then be dealt for a pick to free cpa in that scenario. I wouldn’t say Pettersson’s contract is good tbh he didn’t look that good against Montreal. I’d argue he was worse than JJ on some nights.

So by your logic, we would trade Domi, a center, since we have too many centers, for a worse center, even though Domi is now at 2LW and has looked good. When he was on the 4th line, he still got good ice time, CJ just wanted to roll 4 lines, and Domi was the best fit for the fourth line. Simon is a dime a dozen player. Would rather play Evans at 4C or 4RW and see if Poehling is NHL ready than do this trade. This trade would be horrible for Montreal. Why trade a 50 point guy who has scored 70 points for us when he was playing big minutes for a fourth line winger and an overpaid 3rd liner. Your first or Poulin have to be in a potential Domi trade if you want him, and you would have to add if it’s Poulin (don’t know what PIT would add, they don’t have many good futures).

You make some very good points. But the CAP is going to be a problem for teams these next 3 years and teams need to get out in front of it before the well dries up. Pettersson was pretty weak at times and yes he didn't get played a lot after BUT he's still young and he brings what Toronto needs in a second pairing D player. They do need to get rid of their overpaid forwards and they need Strong defense. Some team is going to trade for Matt Murray without a doubt and he can command a lot right now.

Toronto doesn’t have the money for him and would rather play Holl on the top 4 than acquire him and force themselves to trade another forward. PIT doesn’t need to trade for Murray.

Good points once again but is Domi as good as people think or talk about or is his name the big thing in your opinion?

Marucs Petterson is a LHD 3rd pair D, a thing the Leafs really don't need
Jack Johnson is kind of the same, but he also has a bad contract
McCann is not really an upgrade over the 3rd liners the Leafs already have
Matt Murray had a save percentage of below .900 on a good Pittsburgh team

Why should the Leafs give up the 15th best goal scorer in the NHL as well as Kasperi Kapanen for a lot of things they don't need?

Ryan Suter is actually performing well and has kind of no injury history. I think he can still play on a high level for 3-4 years and his contract expired after 5. So they have 1 or max 2 years of Suter not being worth what he is payed.

For:
Evan Rodrigues: 4th line guy
Riikola kind of a 7th D
Johnson: AHLer

Clear no

Why should the Habs want Bjukstad?

And why should they want Hörnquist. He is old and expensive. Buffalo can get a Hörnquist type player who makes half of what he does.

Overall, you don't give up anything and get quite a lot, how does that work?

Isn't Petterson left handed? TO has no shortage of lefties.

Which teas do you mean? How many teams are actually in need for a starter? Remember, you can only protect one goalie in the expansion.

I think teams who could use a starter are Ottawa, Buffalo, Detroit, Calgary and San Jose and they can get UFA goalies like Markström, Holtby, Talbot, Greiss who all played better than Murray last season. Maybe try with one of those teams. Like Murray for Jones and an asset.

And if you believe that Nylander is overpayed, you are just wrong

Also, you took the 2019-20 roster, so Domi is already a RFA

Nothing about that Toronto trade "helps TO or fills any positional need for TO" all it really does is relieve TO of there RW depth - I do believe there is interest in Matt Murray from TO but that's it just a little interest there is no Need to aquire Matt Murray

Simon and Bjugstad are at the moment 4th line player and they will not be better than 3rd line player. Probably habs can give you Jordan weal for that package.

Toronto needs LD? We have Rielly muzzin Dermott Sandin lehtonen and marincin... think we are good there. If you want nylander you will have to give up something that hurts.
