Trades

PIT

Beckman, Adam
Hartman, Ryan
2023 1st round pick (MIN)
2023 2nd round pick (VGK)

MIN

Guentzel, Jake ($3,000,000 retained)

PIT

Fitzgerald, Casey [RFA Rights]

FLA

Rutta, Jan

Additional Details:

I can see FLA being interested in Rutta ONLY IF Gudas has priced himself out of town with his playoff performance

PIT

Murray, Brett [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

PIT has gone on record saying to they want build WBS to be competitive next year to help player development. That is why I am acquiring guys like Murray and Fitzgerald, that can play in NHL if needed, but best suited to build a solid program in the minors

BUF

Petry, Jeff ($1,750,000 retained)
Puustinen, Valtteri [RFA Rights]

Additional Details:

Before anyone says anything, Petry is still a top four rhd that eats minutes and plays in any situation. This is better for BUF long term because signing a guy like Severson to a 6x6 will make the cap situation tough when trying to extend Dahlin and Power. At $4.5M, you get a guy that is perfect to pair with Power and a top nine forward prospect

PIT

Geekie, Morgan [RFA Rights]
2023 1st round pick (SEA)
2023 2nd round pick (TOR)

SEA

Joseph, Pierre-Olivier
2023 1st round pick (PIT)

Additional Details:

Geekie for POJ
1st and 2nd for 14th overall

PIT

Durzi, Sean

LAK

2023 2nd round pick (VGK)
2024 4th round pick (PIT)

Highly doubt the Wild in their cap strapped state would be interested in trading a center on a steal of a contract and a winger on an ELC who may just be NHL ready finally to bring in more salary. Whether Guentzel is better or not isn't the point, money will make most of Guerin's decisions this offseason.

It is good value for Guentzel, I love the idea, money constraints are an issue though, if you added like a Foligno into the trade instead of Hartman it makes more sense money wise I think, but Hartman is probably more valuable but its a good idea nonetheless, Guentzel with Boldy would be a deadly duo for this season and then he would make a great pair with Kirill next season if Zuccarello leaves

Pens Fans: "Petry is not a cap dump!"

Also Pens Fans: desperately trying to pawn Petry off on the Sabres to get rid of his cap because he is no longer worth the value.
