Canucks will not take back Salary especially for Shenn. They are trying to shed not gain.

Blues pass. Not taking Kap's cap.

Gotta think Ottawa takes that and runs

None of these moves make sense for the Pens.

Completely disagree... I think these all make reasonable sense from the pens perspective. This is a much improved roster overall for a team trying to win now.

Ottawa: DeSmith has been better than Talbot this year. No reason to give up a 2nd to downgrade.

Vancouver: Schenn sucks and the Pens don't need him.

San Jose: Too much for Barabanov

St Louis: Way too much for a guy who shouldn't even be a regular on a good team, let alone getting top 9 minutes.

Ottawa: DeSmith has been abysmal lately, and the pens need a goaltender that can reliably stay healthy. The asking price for Talbot is a second and a prospect. I mean you could bump that down to a third realistically, but I think you're overvaluing what DeSmith has been this year.

Vancouver: that's a fair point, but what has dumo done this year for us? His contract is up at the end of the season and I would value the cap flexibility more with schenn on a bottom pairing/depth role than dumos turnovers and defensive lapses. Hallander is basically a throw in since dumo probably leaves in free agency.

San Jose: Legare is a nothing prospect with minimal value. The deal is basically blueger for Barabanov. The bottom 6 needs a shake up and with how well teddy had played in the past, he's just not finding his groove while Barabanov has been providing consistent bottom 6 production this season.

St Louis: Not sure what you think we're giving up in kapanen and peohling, but acciari is a bottom 6 center. If we are moving on from teddy (which we most likely will be) then you need a center to fill that role.

Ottawa accepts.

San Jose isn’t trading a 50 point player on a $2.5 mil deal for that

I like the players you brought in but I doubt they make 4 trades and give up all of that. Acciari for blueger and a mid pick would be good and then a trade for 3rd liner. Maybe Talbot as insurance too.

They won’t move dumo though unfortunately.

Kapanen needs to be dealt
