I'm guessing you're assuming Dumba is traded?

Actually with Minny, they can go 4 and 4. Make Parise waive , he’s not gonna get picked up anywyas. Then protect : greenway, Fiala , Eriksson Ek and Zucc(maybe someone else).

Same with Ekholm. Nashville can go 4/4 or just trade him

you missed like 10 teams?

Yeah didn’t finish it. Just made a roster

MP isn’t being exposed. He is one of only 3 defensemen worth protecting.

He is being exposed unless he is traded before the draft

i dont think Seattle would take Matheson and Pitt could use the cap space.

Matheson has played well this year I`m more than fine keeping him! Protect Letang, Dumo and Matheson or Letang, Dumo and Ceci (if he is resigned before draft)

I didn't consider the idea of Parise waiving, but now I'm thinking of when he was almost traded to NYI for Ladd. Makes sense to me.

No he isn’t. Letang, Dumo, and MP are the only 3 defenseman worth protecting. They aren’t protecting a cap dump in Matheson or depth defensemen in Riikola, Friedman, etc. it’s a dumb take that’s not thought out at all to think the pens would expose their most tradable and valuable asset just because he has become the whipping boy of pens fans. It’s DUMB

Another bad take. And just goes to show the extremely low expectations of Matheson vs the extremely high expectation of MP. MP destroys Matheson in almost every way and has a much worse contract. They will not and I repeat WILL NOT protect Matheson over Pettersson. Matheson’s contract protects itself lol. Just stop with these crazy theories that you’re ALWAYS very wrong on lol

Pittsburgh can trade Pettersson and get assets back to make the team better and deeper at the nhl draft rather than lose him for nothing to Seattle.

Pens management and coaching staff are obviously much higher on Matheson than MP. I don`t think thats a secret. If they chose right now I would bet a lot of money they protect Matheson over MP. Matheson has been far superior this year.

Talbot is a tough call entirely depends if their multiple NMC waive otherwise they'll grab Greenway in turn Seattle turns their attention to Jake Allen. Habs dont have much to choice from unlike Minnesota. Taking a cheaper, younger goalie from Montreal makes more sense. Vanecek looks like a lock. Khudobin contract and age take him out of the running especially with multiple pieces like Dickinson available in Stars land

But it looks good, quite similar to a few of my expansion ones. I'd to a bet with you on PayPal for a bit of cash if you wanted? I'd hoping to get 25% correct, they'll be so many side deals I'm sure. Even more than last time because of the flat cap, good players will leave for cap flexibility, I'd argue Seattle is in a better place than the Knights. The Knights feasted because idiotic Gms were completely unprepared this time tho they'll have no choice but to be taken for a ride.

No they aren’t, you don’t know anything and you’d be broke as a joke lol. And no, MP is far superior than Matheson. Your takes are awful. You said Getzlaf to the pens was pretty much a sure thing and yet wasn’t even discussed. You said they would trade Malkin which they’ve said numerous times they aren’t doing. Everything you say, literally the opposite happens. So thanks for guaranteeing MP is protected. Seattle doesn’t take that Matheson contract at all. If they did, pens management would gladly welcome it for the cap space. Matheson is nothing more than a bottom pair d making almost 5 million. Pettersson is a top 4 d on a good contract.

If Pens didnt get Carter it would have been Getz. Malkin is probably traded if they dont make the final 4. Matheson > MP this year and it really isn`t close. MP won`t be on the team next year. He is clearly the #6.

In reality, Matheson is the top 4 d on the Pens right now and MP is the bottom pairing D. MP does not have a good contract, at all. Matheson doesn`t have a great contract either but Pens are obviously happier with Matheson than MP. You can believe what you want but in the Pens view it is very clearly Matheson>MP.

No the pens were never having discussions about Getzlaf. They even said as much. Getz was never an option. Malkin will not be traded. Again they said as much. Pettersson does have a good contract and is a top 4 d. He has the 4th most even strength time among the defense. Matheson and Ceci would get less than 15 minutes per game if it wasn’t for special teams. And quit acting like you’re in the know with the organization cause you aren’t. It’s proven by the fact EVERYTHING you say is full of BS and is literally the opposite of what happens. You’re clearly a troll that just says the most insanely ridiculous things.MP>>>Matheson. The stats prove that.

Matheson>MP in the organizations eyes. Fact.

There is now talk Getzlaf is going to sign with Pitt potentially. There were conversations.

if the Pens flame out in the 1st or 2nd round I think there is a serious chance Malkin is moved. It would be the right decision. MP is moved either way via Seattle or if they can convince a team to trade for him.

No it’s not fact. It’s your insane delusion. The organization actually knows hockey and the players better than the fans. And all stats point to MP>>>Matheson. Please stop spewing your insane garbage as fact cause it’s not.

No some goofy schmuck is claiming some nonsense just like you. I wouldn’t doubt you probably authored the nonsense lol.
Experts in the know and the organization said otherwise.

No Malkin will not be moved. Again the organization has said he won’t. He has a full NMC ffs. So stop the insane nonsense...I beg of you. It is seriously insufferable at this point.

The organization is higher on Matheson than MP. That is a fact. He is on the 2nd pairing, has a larger role on the team and he was brought in for Hornqvist who was another guy they loved. He is the best skating dman on the team. He is very clearly ahead of MP. I don`t know why you can`t accept that?

Again, you just are trying to refute another fact. Getzlaf rumors were around and are still around. Burke loves him. Would not be surprised if he signs next year.

And again, this offseason, with Burke and Hextall, if the Pens lose in round 1 or 2, there is a good chance he is moved. Burke and Hextall have never said he won`t and said that they have decisions to make with Malkin and Letang`s contracts after this year. Crosby has stopped the deal from happening before but I think maybe at this point if they lose again they may finally decide that now is the time. We`ll see what happens. All depends on the playoffs and if Crosby realizes that its finally time.

Everything you said is false and you need help. That’s it. I’m done replying to your nonsense. Please seek help for your delusions. I beg you

Its not though you just gave up because you know I`m right and your argument was destroyed

I don't think DeMelo is going to help you compete. You'd be better off picking Appleton.

No, you’re wrong in every way imaginable. Want proof...

Montreal and Vegas were the only ones that wanted him and he wouldn’t waive. He has said he is comfortable with his family in Anaheim and doesn’t want to leave. If he wouldn’t leave for a couple of months to go to cup contender in Vegas, then he sure as hell ain’t leaving for Pittsburgh for a whole year. It’s dumb, just like everything else you say.

That is literally one rumour article. I could show you multiple articles talking about the contrary. That accomplished nothing.
