Published: Apr. 17, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

___________________________________________

SEATTLE : Expansion Draft - I believe if this is who we protect, Seattle will take Mathy over Tavev, DeSmith, & ZAR bc of the bounce back season he has had & his younger age.
*Plus Mario tells Ronnie he will take back his Cup Rings if he takes Tanev, lol.

PROTECTING : {7/3/1}
- SID #87
- GENO #71
- Jake #59
- Rusty #17
- McCann #19
- Kappy #42
- Blueger #53
- Letang #58
- Dumo #8
- Zadorov #16
- Jarry #35

___________________________________________

Extensions Signed :

1)- RHD- Cody CECI #4 : Signed 2yr extension (Signed @ End of last year) - 2yrs @ $2m Per - {My God has he been good}

2)- RHD- Kris LETANG #58 : Signs 2yr extension - 2yrs @ $5.8m Per [NTC] - {Playing some of his best all around hockey ever & w/ his conditioning Tanger could be like Giordano & getting better w/ age}

3)- LC- Geno MALKIN #71 : Signs 1yr extension - 1yr @ $7.1m Per [NTC] - {This is a risk but "IF" he stays in shape & stays healthy, he is still a top 20 - 25 Player at last yr even at 36}

4)- RW- Bryan RUST #17 : Signs 3yr extension - 3yrs @ $5.5m Per - {Just have to Re-Sign him, Right?}

***** - Even after : Ceci #4 / Geno #7 / Letang #58 / Rust #17 All Signed to Extensions : The [22'-23'] Pens still have $28m + whatever Cap goes up to of Cap Space w/ [16-17] Roster Players.
To Re-Sign : RFA's : McCann #19 / Kappy #42 / Crouse #67
PLUS Young Players making Roster in : P.O.J. #73 / Hayton #29 / Entwistle #56 - = [19-20] Roster Players

UFA Signings :

(UFA) - C/LW- M. GRANLUND #64 : Signs 1yr @ $4m - {Give him 3C spot w/ being able to also play Top 6 at either Wing}

(UFA) - G- A. RAANTA #32 : Signs 1yr @ $2.25m - {Always Loved Raanta & only 31, maybe a great "healthy" season on a Good team, could get him another bigger contract}

(UFA) - LHD- J. McCABE #29 : Signs 1yr @ $2m - {Maybe the most underrated LHD, coming off a major Injury & could also turn this into a bigger Contract at only 27}

Trades

PIT

Delia, Collin
Entwistle, Mackenzie
Gaudette, Adam [RFA Rights]
Zadorov, Nikita [RFA Rights]
2021 2nd round pick (CHI)

Additional Details:

BIG Z- The Big, Physical type guy Pens go after & Reirdon can help become a complete D-man.
GAUDETTE- Still think there is something there for him to be a good NHLer & 3C or Top 9 RWer.
ENTWISTLE- A Pens type Prospect, Not flashy, just a smart high IQ player
DELIA- Only 26 could still be a NHL Goalie or solid #3

CHI

Additional Details:

{Pre-Expansion Draft Trade}

Thinking on Trade :
- Zucker FOR
Gaudette, Delia, & 2nd
- MP & Janko FOR
Big Z & Entwistle

PIT

{NOT to ANA}
Taken in Seattle Expansion Draft

ANA

Matheson, Michael

PIT

Additional Details:

*Get a future 3C & maybe 2C in HAYTON, who has struggled in NHL & AHL but I seen to much there that it doesn't work out. Pens play him in WBS till he gets his confidence back.
- CROUSE- Pens get their big Power Forward who needs a change & still has upside.
- CAPO- A younger LHD that also needs a change & hope we can sneak into AHL.

ARI

Additional Details:

- Kills me to Trade Poulin but w/ the young LWers & the older Centers in NHL now, This is the time to get a possible future Top 6-9 Center.
- [ARZ] also gets 2 players that Tocchet loves in ZAR who is having a break-out year. And Ruhwedel, the best #7 in NHL & should be a RHD 3rd pairing guy.

PIT

MacDermid, Kurtis

Additional Details:

- Pens keep adding toughness & a solid #7 LHD-man

LAK

Riikola, Juuso

Additional Details:

- Riikola finally gets a chance to prove he is a 3rd Pairing LHD or RD.

PIT

Woo, Jett
2021 3rd round pick (VAN)

Additional Details:

- Pens get a {B} type Prospect in WOO but a Prospect I love that plays a Smart & Physical game but can skate too. Plus a much needed mid Rnd pick.

VAN

DeSmith, Casey
Lafferty, Sam
2021 7th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

- VAN gets a perfect & cheap Back-up Vet Goalie after losing Holtby in Exp. Draft AND a fast AF 4th line Wing / #13 Forward in Lafferty.

Canucks decline they aren't trading Woo and a 3rd for a back up and a 4th liner

Dude, that Vancouver trade is crazy way off. Zero chance they even entertain that.

That’s a lot of movement all at once. Risky for a top 10 team in the league
