DeSmith, Rust for Raanta ($2M ret), Fischer, 2nd, 3rd
DeSmith @$1.25M > Raanta @$2.25M. Fischer is a 4th line banger which the Pens have a number of. however, his lack of defensive ability makes him worth very little.
Even though I do not see the Penguins doing this, going with your trade:
DeSmith @$1.25M for Raanta @$2.25M, 3rd would probably be value.
That leaves Rust for 2nd and a 4th liner.
There is simply no reason for the Penguins to do either side of this trade.
