Burke's teams always did have spine. No knees or hands, but damn what a spine!

Avs easily decline.

Nichuskin finished 8th in selke voting last season as a winger. He's FAR more valuable than McCann.

Checked stats for this year and McCann is doing better, but as we all know, things always changed.

Riikola has alot of potential to be a solid NHL dman. Runs pens 2nd PP unit and hell of a shot. Could be a good fit plus Lafferty.

Lowry isn't worth Dumo. No matter what Dumo is still the Pens #1 LD.
Virtanen has too many questions to his game to be traded for. He has 1 point in 15 games. Makes 3.4 mill in real dollars next year, which the Pens will take into consideration for payroll. I don't think he is worth a stand alone 2nd round pick right now, let alone adding useful depth like Riikola.

Nichuskin's biggest strength isn't offensive production. He's on the team to provide elite defensive play.

3C don't get you 1LD back in trades.

VAN declines.

The AVs trade is a wash at best. I don't really see any pressing need for either team to do that move.
