the penguins aren't doing that at all.
A. they paid more for Kap,
B. Kassian is a cap dump.
They aren't over here trying to rebuild with 1st round picks. There is no part of this that makes sense for them
Well ya, I agree that the old regime wouldn’t have taken that. No way. And that a “win now” team has little use to accrue a future 1st round pick or draft capital.
But Burke/Hextall sound like they want that draft capital back. Or to accrue draft capital. And they would get that plus a NHL roster player at the same position. Agree Kassian is on Kappy’s level or potential though. But not so much that the Pens paid more for Kappy.
A 1st and a proven NHL player signed for 3 seasons is more than a 1st and a (B), (B-), (C+) prospect in Hallander.
Yes, Kassian would probably have to come with atleast 1M in retention too for his cap hit. But either way, what I was saying is that a 1st and Kassian atleast isn’t absurd. These are “ideas” and atleast to make the “idea” somewhat realistic, that’s what the deal would have to be in my opinion
I think there is .0000000000001 chance that any of these trades happen in real Life. But again, these are just ideas, for fun. And I’m Not gonna just answer “no way, you’re stupid”. Just make the idea realistic atleast and then u can debate it if u want.
How did that kid stay standing in that O’Mally fight..?? Jesus, he took some shoots. Bad stoppage too.
