Why is Granlund only taking a third (or less) to move while Eddy 50% need a third as well? In my opinion Granlund would take a second to move. Harris is definitely worth a low first +. Very responsible future top 4 dman who is only paid 1,4 millions. Wouldn’t move him for less than 20 overall.

Well youre blind if you dont think Harris is worth at least a late first. Hes better than what Romanov was last year when he was traded last draft for 13th overall. Hed easily walk in and be the Pens 3rd best d man. only 23 and signed for 2 more years very cheap. I wouldnt make this trade because Granlund himself could cost a 1st rounder to dump. 2 years a 5m aav and you cant even stick him on LTIR. And his buyout still sucks with it being over 2.5 million dead cap for 2 years after 2024
Granlund has some value as a 3rd liner. He doesn't fit in the Pens system but he was very good in Nash. He is an offensive forward and Pit wanted him to be defensive. Edmundson hasn't been remotely good in years. He is purely an anchor.
I am not buying in on Harris. Maybe he is good, I just don't see him as an A prospect, which is what Pit would want for 14 overall.
Granlund buyout is also really cheap. He is 0.8M, 1.8M, 1.8M, 0.8M. That is peanuts. I'm not sure where you're getting the 2.5MM?
As I can see, Harris would be the 4/5th best dman on the Pens. Letang, Petterson, Petry, POJ were all statistically better last year. I even like Smith more than Harris.
Maybe he is worth a 1st. I just don't see it.
