I'm okay with signing Donato, i like that addition, Gruden is going to be lucky if he plays 50 games in the league, he has no business being in the NHL permanently next season. If anything have Poulin up at 4th LW and see if he can work his way into a higher roll.

POJ has been solid this year, and imo if they wanted to trade him they could get a higher return.

You're leaving 4.5m nearly on cap, they can't do that in the dying years of Sid/Malkin/Geno. I'd also assume they try and get Zucker back, he's been one of their top players this season. I'd rather not trade for Tanev, and sign Domi for 3c and move Donato to 3LW.

i think Zucker will get priced out of what they would want to spend on him or he may want to many years. But he is one of there best forwards this year. for me tanev is the better version of mcginn but older. honestly i think id rather see them use that cap space for a really good 3c that can do some of the heavy lifting. were so hamstrung right now at the center position with carter right now that its dragging Sid down in my opinion especially the last 5-6 games. He looks Gassed to my eye.

POJ has pretty much solidified himself as a soon to be, if not already, top 4 dman - and he's cheap. Not sure why you would trade that for an overpriced bottom 6 winger.

And yeah - as mentioned - use that cap space.

Minnesota isn't trading Ryan Hartman for a 4th liner cap dump
