Huberdeau is good for sure. but i wouldn’t trade Cole Caufield

I like that Pittsburgh trade.

Anderson isn't signing at a discount (he feels like he already did and isn't about to do so a second time), and the Jackets don't have much need for depth project centers (we've got two or three already). So... no thanks.

Huberdeau is a solid 90 point winger, you are not getting him without 2 of your best prospects and 1 maybe 2 firsts. Try at minimum

Caulfield
Suzuki or KK
2020 1st

The Pens decline. They aren't moving Poulin and likely keeping the 1st rounder as well

montreal shouldn’t do that florida trade

That FLA trade is bad for MTL.

@Viqsi ive thought about this a lot. If we get an Offer on a guy that has alleged issues with our front office. And receive a probable middle six skilled center prospect. Would we not take it. We’re not building for right now. We’re building for years to come and I’ve liked poehling in the minors. I really don’t know what Andy’s value is. It’s so hazy with the poor season and contract situation. What’s the difference if we get the pick and draft a guy with the same upside but will be ready in 4 years? But hey you never know.

No it’s logical. I’m guessing you don’t know who Huberdeau is.

I doubt the pens would do that 1 for 1. They are going to rely on Poulin as they don’t want to be a cap ceiling team next year. They want to leave about 5-7 million of wiggle room.

We've seen what Andy does in the NHL. Which is the better payoff - Andy bouncing back, or hoping that Poehling can reach his potential as a middle-6 C (of the type we've already got several of)?

Since neither another RW nor another middle-6 C is a particularly strong need per se, I'd rather go with the bigger potential payoff.
