Would love to reunite the brothers. Honestly though, Rutta has been such a key member on that squad. I cannot see him being dealt.

I would accept the trade if I could!! Getting PO and Mathieu both would be great. And Pens need a RHD.

Right now their 3rd pairing RHD would be Friedman or Ruhwedel. Although it’s said that they are high on Friedman.

And Ruhwedel has been a really good 7th-8th D-man along with Riikola. Both Ruhwedel and Riikola step in when there is an injury and it’s not a huge drop off.

I don’t know about trading Tankov and why TB would pick him.?? He was just drafted this season and wasn’t on any teams radar or any prospects list. Pens have a scout in Russia that apparently loves him and they took him, on account of that scout, with their last of three 7th round picks.

I dont see Rutta being moved either but to make some cap room to bring up Raddysh and Katchouk it makes the most sense. and of course having Joseph reunite with his brother would be cool to see

I love watching Russian prospects the most so thats why i went with Tankov. it could be any U20 prospect with the same value

Idk, Tankov's name and highlights are throwing me off here

Looks like TB could use a LHD prospect. Give them C.Phillips and a 4th. Phillips is a former 3rd round pick, LHD prospect, still playing in the NCAA.

Issac Belliveau.

Or Daniel Laatsch, who was just drafted this year too. Just like Tankov, one of their three 7th round picks. He’s a big boy for 19; 6’5, 190 pounds.
