Bold Maybe Dumb

Created by: BlacknGold4life
Team: 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 29, 2022
Published: Jul. 29, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Cap dump in McGinn. Zucker for Kane (cap wise with 50% retained).

Poulin and a 1st is the main cost. Zucker is a top 6 forward and could be their 1L LW (20-30 goal scorer) also an expiring contract.

Penguins give up a lot. But the value is in the retained salary and that Kane is a rental.

This allows them to bring back Evan Rodriguez with a raise, and solidifies C and RW depth.

Zucker costs a first to dump in this market. So it’s kane half retained for poulin and a cap dump in mcginn? Yeah can’t see this happening at all. Take zucker out and it’s an okay offer that probably still gets beat

Maybe but Kane has some leverage in where he gets to go... From things he has said in the past, I could see Pittsburgh making sense... And Chicago needs someone on that team who can score a goal this year.... I agree Zucker probably has negative value but he could be another TDL trade (with salary retained) for a contender looking to add depth in the middle-6. I could easily see them getting a 1st or 2nd for him at the dead line. But Zucker would have to go salary wise for Pittsburgh. But I agree, that to trade Zucker it would have significant negative value. But the blackhawks have plenty of cap space.

Kane will want to stay in the US. Chicago and PIT is pretty close. And he will be on a contender. I think it makes the most sense for Kane if he were to go somewhere before the season. Also, he spends his off seasons near Lake Erie. I could see the Rangers being another place. Rangers probably make the most sense.

I don't even know where to begin. The fact that you think the Pens are giving up a lot in this trade is astounding. There are two cap dumps in there.

This wouldn't even be enough to get Kane alone - much less half retained and with a 4th.
