We Need An Upgrade at Winger Or We Are A Worse Team

Created by: edeangel84
Team: 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 17, 2022
Published: Jul. 17, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Bringing back ERod isn’t good enough. We need a young talented winger who can play on Geno’s line. Sticking Zucker up there is an awful idea.

Our cap situation sucks but when you add a 6 plus million dollar defenseman to your roster that’s going to happen

Additional Details:
They’re going to lose one of their RFA wingers. Kapanen is going to be cheaper to pay for them. Ruhwedel is a perfect 6th Dman and very affordable.

I don’t see how you can build a package for Puljujvari around two guys who are way older than him. I think that’s a non starter for Edmonton.

Kapanen is turning 26 next week. How’s that “way older”? Also who cares about their age? Edmonton wants to win a cup not build for the future

3 Draft classes between the two players and I meant Ruhwedel is way older.

I don’t think this package makes Edmonton better in the short run or the long run. It doesn’t make sense for Edmonton to trade a younger player for multiple veterans.

Zucker is a good player when healthy. Much better than pool party. His health is a gamble but saying he sucks just isn’t accurate

I like this option a lot, maybe you have to add a third round pick to make up the value difference between Kap and Pool Party. Also I don't know if it's good business to extend a player during the season then trade him in the off-season. I think Puljujarvi is a great fit for the second line while not having to make room by moving one of Petty or Dumo. Bottom six looks pretty rough though.

He doesn’t suck… he’s overpaid and a 3rd LW on any team that wants to advance past the first round
