~$9M left with no goalies and 1 more forward to sign. JR better have a deal in place for one of his goalies. It's not looking good right now.

ahahahahahhahahaha


and Penguin fans were unwilling to trade the 15oa for Domi… enjoy Kapanen, he plays a lovely violin, but doesn't do much else.

Realistically, it's not a terrible deal but it's a slight overpayment. Hallander has struggled the last couple of seasons and maybe Pittsburgh was starting to give up on him, so he wouldn't carry much value. Rodrigues just didn't fit in and was likely the roster player that had to go to fit Kapanen in. The 15th overall is a bit of an overpayment, Kapanen is likely worth a 20-31 overall pick, but with that not being available for Pittsburgh to give up it had to be 15th. Plus Kapanen could explode beside Malkin so don't beat the deal too much yet

Lindgren is loaned to play overseas, Arberg signed in the KHL....they gave up all that just for Kap for next season.
Wow

You really think Kapanen is going to explode here? when he couldn't do anything With Matthews or Tavares

He only played with Matthews or Tavares on his off wing. He could definitely break out on his natural side beside Malkin.

I hope I'm wrong but on paper, this trade is MASSIVE overpayment by the Pens.
Guentzel - Sid - Zucker
Rust - Malkin - Kapanen?

Rodrigues sucks and Hallander was getting kinda mediocre before he broke his leg. 15 OA is kinda a lot for Kapanen but they also get Lindgren. I think both sides are blowing this way out of proportion

Unless JR expects a 1st (moving a goaltender), then this trade is going to crush him as Penguins GM. If there is any team who needs a draft pick in this deep draft, it is Pittsburgh.
I SEEN THE FUTURE OF PENGUINS HOCKEY, (3 - 5 years) and it is not pretty.
