So here's the issue with the Pens trade. Value-wise it's totally fair and I like it. I think a Jarry/Mrazek tandem would be awesome, but there are two issues:
1) Money. The Pens simply don't have the space to take on Mrazek's salary.
2) The Pens have a young goalie in the AHL right now who will likely be the backup next year. His name is Filip Lindberg and he may even be a starter at some point.
That said, if money weren't an issue I'd probably still make the trade despite Lindberg because you never want to bank on fully unknowns. I'm not sure what would need to be done to get TOR to eat 50% without sending a high pick back, but it's enticing.
