We are not that desperate to trade for a D. Buffalo adds even if its montour for ZAR

If we want to strengthen the top 6, then maybe we need to look for larger fish.

ZAR would have nothing to do with their top 6

Interesting thought on the VGK side. I think it’s actually an over pay if Buffalo retains half of Okposo.

Vegas may take the extra year straight up if you retain half of his deal. No need to add. Heck they may even take Hutton this year Instead of moving him to LTIR.

They could. I think they have to stabilize the goaltender position first. if they can find a way to add to the top 6 after that, that would be great

On PITT he is because our team is stacked with offense and he is one of the best defensive forwards in the league.

Here's a quote from Elliot Friedman:

"If you follow or read the work of analysts who put a lot of stock in stats, you might have seen his name come up improbably in the Selke conversation. That’s because by models that track a player’s isolated impact on defence, Aston-Reese ranked best or second-best in the league across the board, so we'll see what happens at the awards"

23 goals against in 6 GAMES?!?!?! Yeah the Pens need defense....BADLY!!! Especially with Pettersson out. And thats about fair for Montour who'd be your4th best dman most likely.

Lol at least we've won our games. Yes we need defense, but ZAR is worth more than montour and is more helpful to the team considering ZAR is one of the best defensive players in the league

Ok hes a good 4th liner. Thats a great quote to show you the disconnect between advanced stats nerds and reality as well. Advanced stats make up barely 10% of the picture

So youre proving all you have is 1 positive quote from a journalist. You specifically are over rating ZAR, based on that quote, by a mile
