Something Dramatic Must Be Done

Created by: edeangel84
Team: 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 6, 2022
Published: Nov. 6, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
It’s not too early to call this a crisis. It doesn’t seem like anyone is getting fired anytime soon. If it was up to me Hextall and Burke would already be gone. Since that seems unlikely let me propose an also unlikely trade. We have one asset that can fetch a big return of young nhl ready prospects and that’s Jake. Pittsburgh casual fans will revolt if he was traded but you don’t get younger and faster without paying a price. We can’t trade the old guys, that’s just not realistic. Jake is the only option that can return players ready to play.
Trades
PIT
  1. Broberg, Philip
  2. Foegele, Warren
  3. Holloway, Dylan
  4. Puljujärvi, Jesse
Additional Details:
JP and Foegele cost 5.75 million and Jake is 6, so it’s basically cap neutral. Holloway and Broberg must come back to pay for taking on a dead weight contract in Foegele. Also Edmonton gets a 40 goal scorer. Those don’t grow on trees.

Oilers pass, they aren't going to give up Broberg and Holloway for Guentzel just so that they can struggle even more to ice a cap compliant team.

As for Pittsburgh, if they miss the playoffs, perhaps they can draft an NHL ready player. Moving Guentzel isn't what they need to do, I doubt Holloway and JP would turn the team's season around.

Idk man. I agree Hextall and Burke should be out of there, maybe even Sully. If we trade a younger player with a big return I'd rather get 1st round pick(s) tbh. I don't know if one trade can fix this team so I'm down to just get picks at this point.

"Also Edmonton gets a 40 goal scorer. Those don’t grow on trees."

He says to the team with 2 guaranteed and another likely 40+ goal scorer tears of joy You're much better off trying to send him to a team that needs one and leaving EDM to actually fix the holes on its roster.

Adding Jake to that roster makes them basically unstoppable. No one could keep up with that scoring.

Trading Jake for a shakeup would be batpoop insane. This is a joke.

So continue down the path of stripping their 3rd and 4th lines of almost all talent for the sole purpose of FURTHER enhancing what is among the league's best (if not THE best) top-6? While also not improving the D? Yeah, nah.
