Description

Trying something new.

Going with what Dubas said today that he will try to utilize the cap space in trades with teams that are in cap a bind or want to move on from players.

I'm sure Anaheim fans will say the Gibson trade isn't enough, but I just don't see a big market for him at a full cap hit, which the Pens could take on (if Granlund is involved).

Dillon I don't see targeted often, but he could fit the bill for the Pens. Physical LHD who could play big minutes.

Avoided signing big UFA's. Not easy to do!
