I don’t think Pens have to add that 2nd.
You can see it on capfriendly. Literally every teams fans have posted a trade trying to acquire Kappy. If a fraction of real life NHL GMs are interested. They wouldn’t have to add.
Is Kappy in the doghouse, yes. But he is undeniably talented. He’s super fast, wicked wrist shot, a decent playermaker, plays physical enough, and a good 200 foot player. It’s why the Pens traded a 15th overall pick and a “B”/“B-“ prospect for him just a year and a half ago.
He’s a .5 -.75 PPG player even playing poorly. That’s a good “floor”. Let him get hot for acouple weeks and he’s a 20 goal scorer again. A 20 goal scorer “ceiling”.
