Description

Danault replaces Nuge and brings the kind of utility the team needs and could fit well splitting C duties alongside McDavid.

Trades

EDM

SEA

Jones, Caleb

EDM

Zucker, Jason
2022 4th round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Frees up 2.3mil, an expansion slot, and a pick upgrade while adding toughness.

PIT

Kassian, Zack
2023 2nd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Adds a genuine top-6 W with two-way acumen.

EDM

Kuemper, Darcy

Additional Details:

Expansion slot can then be used on Hill to preserve the longer term options while still having a G to expose. Also frees up cap space.

Koskinen, Mikko ($2,250,000 retained)
2022 3rd round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

Costs some but the Oilers get an upgrade in goal. Still a risk given his injury history and that he's coming from ARI, but he's one of the better bets out there.

As a PITT fan i like the trade, brings us some toughness. I liked Zucker but he seems to be the one player that cant mesh with Crosby or Malkin, despite being a dog, he's the one player i'd move. I'd much rather see toughness on our back end, Nurse available? LOL

If you retain $1.2M on Kassian and switch 2nd-->3rd and 4th-->5th, done deal.

Thanks for the input! I don't think I'd be prepared to effectively pay close to 7mil for Zucker. I could maybe see retaining closer to 700k given the change in picks you proposed. Would that be workable?

Thanks for the input! His struggles meshing with the Pens gave me the impression he'd be the most likely fit for a Kassian trade- especially given the presence of McCann and Kapanen.

As for Nurse, I don't foresee the team moving the closest thing its had to a #1 Dman in over a decade, but nice try
