      That’s definitely an approach I guess. Some good trades for the teams that are not pit. Also don’t know how many years Matheson has left but maybe that one is not possible if it’s more than 2

      Calgary fans will think that's the greatest trade proposal ever made.

      Yes let's also make the team older, slower, and worse in the process!

      This will never backfire.

      The chances of that 1st being a lottery pick is pretty good.

      I understand that this really kills the future, but how is this roster worse than the current roster?

      Why not aspire for something better than aging solid players, especially giving up quite alot of quality assets and potentially a lottery pick like...

      Cumulatively those assets could be

      The entire site: DON'T SAY IT NOOOOOO

      Me: a return for Eichel

      At least like Rakell/Terry and another Vgood piece

      Ristolainen sucks, Giordano is old and not worth giving up Marino AND a 1st, Dadonov doesn't improve the top 6 much.

      These trades also see the Pens lose some valuable assets that they must keep. It's terrible asset management
