Team: 2020-21 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 16, 2020
Published: Sep. 16, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
PIT is in a financial hell due to COVID. They have furloughed employees. So approx. 4.5 mil under the cap for PIT, while still putting a pretty good team on the ice.

Defense is not great, but not bad either. They're all relatively young puck-movers. If PIT is going to win a game, let them win 8-7.

Also, recoup TWO 1st round picks.

Get a solid 3C.

Avs arent giving up assets for Hornqvist. Good player but the contract is a big turn off

Avs decline and the wings, and this is coming from someone who dislikes the dead things immensely, laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

They might if he's what helps them get over the hump. If not, expose him to Seattle. They'll definitely take him.

Are pens fans only allowed to post Murray or Hörnqvist trades with the avs

How many times have avs fans said they are not interested in this trade yet here we are

How many times do Avs fans say that COL isn't interested in Murray, yet multiple sources across national and local levels say otherwise...yet here we are.

I doubt SEA would take a 34 year old winger with 2 years left at 5.3M over guys like Graves and Compher. There will be so many good forwards available for the Avs to look at this offseason due to the flat cap so they can afford to be very picky with who they target - Hornqvist is just not a good fit with his contract

No one nationally has connected them more than lazy speculation thoughts bc avs has injuries and it’s only Penguin writers who bring up this move using Adrian daters tweet of I think Murray will be the avs Starter next year, which since then Sakic has confirmed he is comfortable with his goalies next year and they Frankie was playing hurt in the Dallas series,

So if all you have is dater and the guy who has 0 inside sources with the team when it comes to the roster, I hate some bad news for you

Hornqvist's extension was terrible the day it was signed. He was already starting to break down as usually happens with players of his style.

That Anaheim trade makes no sense. Why is Anaheim trading for an older player?

Probably better to keep Hornqvist over signing two question marks in Smith and Granlund for similar money

Would personally rather keep Rust than go for Trochek

you definitely don't watch the Penguins much

Horny is fine and his production is worth his deal

He won't get moved, nor should he, so it's not worth the argument

Already been debunked by a few different sources that we are allowed to spend to the cap. There is no cost cutting in the player department. Furloughing employees is one thing, a cap crunch is another entirely.

Neither team does the Carolina trade. Carolina had needed a 2c and they finally got it and they aren't trading him after finally fulfilling the need. Rust also just had a career year and shooting %, doubt he has a year like that again. Pens don't do it bc they already have Crosby and Malkin so it makes no sense to get a 2c and its a Metro team. I could only see pittsburgh offering this trade to flip trocheck and Carolina declines trading Trocheck unless Malkin coming back

Who cares what COL fans say on this site? The point of this site is to create hypothetical trades. Just because a COL fan says "yeah not interested in murray or hornqvist" isn't stopping trade proposals

You commented, you care that other fan bases are commenting and are against these penguin trades. And by the looks of it you don’t like when people are not agreeing with trades that only benefit the penguins

You aren't getting a first from Calgary for Murray, simple as that
