Created by: pensfan21

Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 23, 2023

Published: Jun. 23, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I think we will give this a shot and if it's not working by deadline then sell and rebuild.

I think Dubas could potentially sign more younger guys with potential and trade for some reclamation projects that maybe we get picks for taking on the cap, just wasn't really sure who.

i wouldn't mind any of this at all, rather DOC than Puustinen personally, and you have the space to fit that.

Yup that's my bad, forgot to sign him.

Gotta add more than that for Arvidsson. Decent prospect in addition to the 2nd.

I think it all depends. If there's other offers, then yes. If it gets close to FA though and they are desperate to clear cap I think a 2nd will suffice.

There will be many suitors for Arvidsson's services. a 60-point 1st line winger is worth more than a 2nd round pick.

The Kings aren't desperate for cap space, as they only thing they need that isn't already in the organization is a goaltender.

I like the trades. I think Engvall will get a lot more coin than that though. Big with some skill and goal scoring ability equals overpay on UFA day!

Engvall at 2x2.5 would be a bargain. I think he’s looking at 3x3.5 or even $4M. I also have a hard time seeing Nedeljkovic get the minimum. He still has a lot of brand name value from his very recent rookie year.
