Kovalenko has a contract sign in the KHL which continues next season then we can sign him

Mayfield gets double that in UFA.

So a 3rd liner, 3rd pair d-man, a late 1st for a top 10 center with retention and picks coming back to you?

Please get in touch with reality

Stop.

I get it, you're not really serious, but trying to create what would be a realistic scenario. Here's where it goes wrong...

1) Girard is a good start
2) 1st round pick is another good start
3) Newhook is third liner at best.
4) A third with us retaining $2M and still sending you picks? Insulting.

Look, this will never happen. Sid has made that thoroughly clear to the world, but media needs clicks, so people will talk about it regardless. The media has been Malkin wanting to be traded every season for the last seven years.

The reality is, if the Pens decided to move Sid it means we're moving EVERYONE and you guys don't have the pieces or futures to offer.

Think two firsts plus Byram to start.

Penguins counter with Ty Smith, Bryan Rust, and a 1st for Makar with 2mil retention

Girard will be your best LHD easily

Makar 25y and Crosby 36y bad example

You made a blatantly lopsided trade so i countered with a similarly lopsided proposal.

A more realistic trade for the face of the entire penguins franchise would be
Sid (50% retained ), rust , and one third round pick. For newhook , Byram, and 3 first round picks

Idk how to properly edit or delete comments lol
