Pens decline

Make it $2 mil retained to Pitt and sharks would consider. I can’t see them retaining $13 mil and taking Zucker at $5.5 mil.

I gave the sharks a lot back because zucker wasn't getting any retained coming back. in this scenario the shark are doing a mini rebuild/retooling so the next season would be a "throw away" season just to get one more good pick. zucker only has 1 year left and would be gone after next season.

it benefits both sides, sharks get futures and the pens get veterans to help them in the playoffs

I mean the futures aren’t that good for two quality players at discounts with $18 mil kept by San Jose while Pittsburgh drops in cap. Even if they are rebuilding it isn’t a deal for San Jose, but I get where it’s coming from.

Blues pass.

Can I get some input on why? Letang might leave and same w desmith. burns fills in for letang at 4mil and reimer had a great season and become a good backup at 1 mil. zucker is a cap dump, and the pens want Kapanen out.

Letang isn't going anywhere. A backup can be signed for next to nothing in free agency. Burns isn't worth 4M. Zucker is a valuable piece for this team.

Why? Don't yall need a backup since husso is leaving? I thought Hill could be a decent and cheap replacement no?

He played pretty well for a struggling sharks team imagine what he could do on a playoff blues team!

I'm thinking they'd much sooner re-sign Lindberg than spend a 3rd in a draft where they don't have a 2nd on one year of a meh goalie.

Fair, but maybe u guys are in a win now mode so u guys don't really need futures but I see where ur coming from!

Letang could leave it isn't 100% positive that he's staying. even as a kings fan I think burns is worth somewhere around them maybe around 3 M. And I thought Zucker was terrible isn't he? ive heard people talking about the pens trying to dump him or even buy him out.

Also, 1 M for a backup is very cheap especially for a player like reimer who was extremely good for a struggling sharks team. imagine what he could do as the pens backup

If the blues aren't gonna do that Hill trade, may as well just keep Hill and not sign Holtby. Although it would be nice to have another pick this year.

That what I was thinking, I'm even a kings fan and I acknowledge that burns and Reimer are both still good. what ur thoughts on the rest of the moves I did?


No clue what that person is talking about. There will be 0 goalies in FA as good as Reimer available for 1M. Burns is worth every cent if his cap hit is 4M and Zucker is definitely a waste of cap space lol.
