Rust declines lol. Jets don't need lhd so poj swap with pickering as he's not nhl ready which is better than poj who wouldn't have a spot

I don't think Rust waves for a Canadian team, and specifically one possibly facing a rebuild?

Also think that's overpay for 1 year of a goalie, even if it's Hellebuyck.

Nice work here!

Yeahh.. dont think ARZ is interested in taking all that cap.
I also doubt Rust waives to go to Canada and dont think Pens would retain.
I think a sandpaper type player like Wood, a 3c like Haula and a top dman (I would prefer Graves over Gavrikov) are nice additions.

Hard to see Rust waiving to go anywhere other than a true contender in the States.

Can we stop with the Hellebuyck to PIT trades now, thanks guys!

Cap Friendly Armchair G.M wouldn't be Cap Friendly Armchair G.M without the bashing comments.

That is closer to Hellebuyck, but they have maybe 2 RSD prospects, so a LSD isn't a need, unless the LSD is your first rounder from Manitoba.

As people already mentioned, Rust blocks that trade.

I think you're spending way too much money on defense. At the very minimum Mikkola needs to go and you need to add that money to get a better 3rd line forward.

Rust has a NMC, He's not waiving for that dive in Winnipeg get real, And that offer for Hellebuyck gets blown away by other teams that have better picks and prospects.
