Created by: Sidstick87
Team: 2020-21 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2021
Published: Feb. 26, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
________________________________________

** I think Zucker will Return in last month of season But....
Even If Zucker Returns w/ 4 - 6 weeks left in season, still have enough Cap Space w/ his daily Cap hit of $47,414 - {$1.4m - $2.1m Needed}

If 16 does come back - This team could be Crazy good :
1A : 59-87-17
1B : 16-71-67
3A : 19-96-42
3B : 15-53-13 {15-Lowry}

_________________________________________

This Team is no way good enough to make playoff's, If they stay w/ this Roster they will finish in 5th or 6th Place & a wasted Lottery Pick.
**** THIS PENS TEAM DESPERATELY NEEDS : {If the Pens want to make Play-off's}

1)- A Top 9 RH-Winger (to replace Zucker) & for the left wall spot on PP #1 ------- [Rakell]
2)- A Bottom 6 Center or 3B Type Center -------- [Lowry]
3)- A 1B or better back-up Goalie ------- [Comrie]
4)- A RW for 3rd line w/ McCann & Blueger ------- [Gaudette]
5)- Some Draft Picks back

Trades
1.
PIT
  1. Lettieri, Vinni
  2. Rakell, Rickard
  3. 2022 6th round pick (ANA)
Additional Details:
~ This is who we should have Targeted last yr, Not Zucker. Rakell has been very average the last 2+ yrs but I still see a good player if u surround him w/ a Top Center.
ANA
  1. Gruden, Jonathan
  2. Riikola, Juuso
  3. Rodrigues, Evan
  4. 2022 2nd round pick (PIT)
  5. 2022 4th round pick (PIT)
2.
PIT
  1. Capobianco, Kyle
Additional Details:

3.
PIT
  1. Beaulieu, Nathan
  2. Comrie, Eric
  3. Lowry, Adam
  4. 2021 3rd round pick (WPG)
Additional Details:
~ Tough to give up a Young Top 4 D-man on a great contract for a 4C & #6 D-man but we must add some toughness to this line-up!! Lowry & Beaulieu are def that tho & I'm a big Comrie guy & moving up 4 Rds in Draft helps.
WPG
  1. Jankowski, Mark
  2. Pettersson, Marcus
  3. 2021 7th round pick (PIT)
4.
PIT
  1. Baertschi, Sven
  2. Gaudette, Adam
  3. 2021 3rd round pick (VAN)
Additional Details:
~ If there is a player that needs a change of scenery it's Gaudette. Could put him at RW but see him as a future 3C.

  1. Sceviour, Colton
  2. 2021 7th round pick (ANA)

ANA and VAN decline. nothing there for them to do that.
That's a bad return on MP. They can get more than a 4C type for him and they don't need any more defensemen. They got enough.

Nothing in that package even makes ANA consider moving Rakell, a pile of things that arent good at positions we already have filled by better options and some bad picks dont get you Rakell

How about you trade for a goaltender? GIve Vegas a call and see what it would take to get MAF back? It's gonna be a lot more than it was in the offseason.

Pens should consider selling...they just don't have the off-roster assets to make any gains at trade deadline.
They have time to build a roster that can compete before Crosby's window closes.

I agree with u about MP, but his value is all over the place rite now...
Did Lowry, Beauliea

I am one of the biggest Rakell fans there is (obviously bc I trade for him always, lol)

But he hasn't produced for 2+ yrs now, he looks frustrated when I watch him, & his value is declining.

IMO, if he had a Top Center again, he could maybe get close, back to that 34G - 69P season but he is nowhere close to that player rite now

I disagree, IMO we have these next 2 yrs to really do something.... & we will do anything to try.

Then in like 3 or 4yrs hope we are horrible, sell everything, and get the next best player in the NHL how we did with Mario then Sid (I sometimes think its really that easy, lol)
And Sid can teach him like Mario did with him in his last yrs.

What if that move is an option to open up cap space for another trade for a Top 6 player or Top Dman?

I kno its just a cap dump move.... but u guys always bench Gaudette or put him on 4th line? Not much to give up on fro a cap dump?

We dont need a Goalie, Jarry struggled early in season but the last 5 games he has like .932% SP and is back to playing like him.

But i would like to get a better back-up or 1B type Goalie

Works for me...
Couldn't time it better...the Pens decline as the Devils arrive. One less hurdle, I guess.

None of that changes the fact the Ducks don’t need a bottom pair LHD were more than stocked at that position Lindholm, Fowler, Hutton, Larsson, Mahura, Guhle. We don’t need a bottom 6 forward and a prospect with a 3rd line ceiling.

Rakell still easily gets a 1st plus not a pile of things PIT doesn’t want
