I think that's an awful trade for the Penguins. Dermott is again, something the Pens have a surplus of and Kerfoot, while a decent player, isn't worth a 2nd.

Also, and I don't expect you to be aware, but Hextall has said on numerous occasions that the Pens 1st and 2nd round picks are officially off limits. This is one of the main reasons he was hired. They are not touching those futures anymore.

He was one of the guys that actually did something in the playoffs for us.

And what?

Probably if he plays a full 82 games he can prob put up 20 - 25 goals. He can also play in the top 6 with either Crosby or Malkin.

dont u have some UFA defensemen? Dermott could fill a gap then. trade isn't bad

Nope. None. We have FIVE LHD signed to contract. No place for Dermott. The trade isn't good for the Penguins.

Also, as I stated, our GM has publicly stated he's no longer trading away our 1st or 2nd round picks.

ok. Dermott plays RD too and I would do a 3rd and 4th instead of the 2nd

Nope. He isn't even worth a 3rd. The Pens don't need Dermott.

Hextal/Burke would have to be drunk to consider this.

As a Pens fan id absolutely hate it too.

They would get crushed in the media. Neither Dermott or Kerfoot bring size or physically. And you are taking a 2nd round pick and the prospect that Hextall/Burke are high on and traded McCann for..? That would be horrible asset management.

They would get crushed in the media for this move. Doesn’t help the Pens at all.
