Bad contract off the books for only a 3rd, I'll take it!

Well done Rob Blake, could of had Kulikov for a 3rd 50% retained, but who would want defensive depth on the left side rite?

I was actually interested in seeing McGinn on the roster as a bottom 6 role, so I'm okay with this to make our bottom 6 nastier to play against.

Wonder what this means for Comtois or Lesson though.

Probably could’ve had him for a 4th. Was only a 3rd for taking McGinn’s contract

Peanuts

McGinn was horrible and that contract was worse. W for Pitt

The best Ducks defensemen that was traded today

What a huge win for my team! We get rid of a bad contract for just a 3rd (which is great for the next offseason as well) and Pens get a solid d-man in Kulikov. Thanks, Anaheim! I didn't expected that.

Good move. Got cap flexibility next couple seasons we'll have Granlund and depth physicality, which we needed.

Might have to change #s though... we don't need any other 29s

Anaheim gets pick and player. ANA can ship him at the next deadline.

Pittsburgh gets D-Depth.

Fair

I know it's pretty fair by Hextall to dump Ginner but I feel bad for him. Hopefully Ginner can get some middle six time in Anaheim and play like he did in Carolina. One of the best forecheckers in the league, and I will die on that hill. Good deal for Pittsburgh for getting some offensive depth on the back end.

Despite being traded for future considerations, which was ridiculous, Kulikov for a 3rd or a 4th is fair.

Taking a cap dump without just compensation is not fair.


Pittsburgh wins the trade.

Fair deal. Kulikov is okay, nothing more, and I think a 3rd's fine for him.
