2-Trades and 3- UFA signing that could vastly Improve this team

Created by: Sidstick87
Team: 2020-21 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 2, 2021
Published: Jan. 2, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
___________________________________________

IMO, this Pens team is a 3C, Top 9 Forward, & back-up Goalie away from being a "Real" Playoff team.

~~ 3rd line Center can be a battle between Zacha & Roslovic w/ Zacha being getting the spot but I def see Roslovic as a future 3C but not enough experience yet.
** I would love a 3rd line of all young players that have played Center & are all Defensive responsible.

~~ I'd give Howard a chance at being the #3 but with DeSmith as back-up maybe he gets us to the TDL, Then we need to get a Real Back-up Goalie before Deadline.
*** ARZ - Trade Deadline move {RAANTA}

~~ With the Pens history of Defensive Injuries, I signed - LHD- Mueller & RHD- Bowey as #8 D-men for Taxi Squad
(Both former 1st & 2nd Rdrs), Just what GMJR likes.

Trades
1.
PIT
  1. Roslovic, Jack [RFA Rights]
Additional Details:
* [Pens] get :
Their 3C or future 3C & maybe more in Roslovic. This is the exact type of Player GMJR always goes for in former 1st or 2nd Rdrs that haven't reached potential yet.
Like - (Kappy, Pettersson, Mathy, McCann, Ceci, Janko)
WPG
  1. Aston-Reese, Zach
  2. Gruden, Jonathan
Additional Details:
* [WPG] get :
A decent return but Roslovic is worth more, In ZAR the best defensive forward in hockey (analytically) & a {B} Prospect in Gruden.
2.
PIT
  1. Zacha, Pavel
  2. 2021 6th round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
* [Pens] get :
Another former 1st Rdr that hasn't reached potential & I really like in Zacha that plays a hard, physical game, wins battles, & isn't scared to go to net. Would be a nice 3C or 3-LW.
NJD
  1. Lindgren, Jesper
  2. Riikola, Juuso
  3. Sceviour, Colton
  4. 2022 3rd round pick (PIT)
Additional Details:
* CONDITIONAL PICK *
- 22' 3rd Rdr becomes 22'- 2nd Rdr if [PIT] wins Cup in 2021 season.


[NJD] get :
A 3rd pairing LHD that's only 25 & better on the Right side & had a great 1st NHL yr (look @ Lytics). A solid vet bottom 6 Forward that could be a stop gap till young players are ready & get that 6th Rd pick back at TDL. A {B} RHD Prospect in Lindgren. Also, a 2nd or 3rd in 22' Draft.

      Winnipeg would want a similarly aged, skilled, team controlled defenseman in return not a player and a prospect they don't need.

      Roslovic is not worth it on or off of the ice.

      I don't mind it. I will say one thing. The whole bringing in other teams trash and trying to find gold hasn't worked out well the past few years.

      I agree BUT it seems like 2 moves GMJR would make bc of how he loves former high picks that have not made it yet.

      I've been pretty bummed out about what the Pens have done this yr .....

      BUT what a signing by GMJR to lock up Marino at $4.4 for 6 yrs after this yr... so for 7yrs

      I would have never signed that if I was him. That was a great team deal. I would have bet on myself and got paid. But hey, I blew my knee out playing so maybe I'd be a bit selfish now knowing what happened.
      But I think he left a LOT of money on the table.
