In THEORY I get what you're doing with the Pens trade and personally I probably make that trade. The reality however is much different and this is all public knowledge from Hextall which he's mentioned in more than couple of interviews/statements:
1) He will not add sweetener to any trade as incentive for other teams to take any of our players and his actions since last season speak to this. Obviously the 1st here is partially incentive to take Zucker and Matheson.
2) The Pens' 1st and 2nd rounders are completely off limits, so any deals including them are basically non-starters. Can a GM change his mind? Sure, but as of right now, even in current interviews he's indicated there's been no such changing of the his mind.
So again, me personally? This is probably the first trade I've seen on here where I've though Hextall should go back on his word and break those two rules. The Anderson contract has disgusting term, but by the time it looks really bad, the Sid/Geno era will be all but done, so it gets my thumbs up, but probably not Hexy's lol
Poulin is also a super mediocre prospect, so you can keep him lol
