WPG have so many LD, so maybe ome of them could be a target, I definitely think Hellebuyck is one as well.

Only trading goodrow makes sense. No reason to trade Lindgren or Laffy

Personally don't think Pens go for hellebuyck unless the price is right. Let the Devils or someone send a 1st + for him.

yeah like i said, just spit balling, Not sure what Lindgren will look for $ wise next summer, and not really sure what the deal is with Laf, obviously has not lived up to first overall expectations, Kakko at least had a step up this season and if he takes another what will he cost. So i threw Laf in there as a "maybe rangers part ways and see what they can get back".

They’ll just trade Lindgren’s rights or sign & trade if he’s too expensive

As for Laffy, whatever they get back probably won’t be worth it. They don’t need 1st round picks, they need players that help win now. And 40 points from the 3rd line at $2.5m is fine with me

Wait where's the rumor that Petry could be going to SJ. I've been on Twitter but haven't seen anything related to that.

Makes total sense, I thought I read Laf still believes he is a top 6 forward on a team so thought process there was stick him next to Sid if he isn't going to resign in NYR.

Well the rangers are dumb. The top 6 should be set with 1 of Kreider, Panarin or Laffy moving to RW

I'd be very surprised if the penguins and Rangers made any major roster trades. Maybe exchanging futures.

Gibson’s contract is not “brutal”

Just saw the tweets. Must have missed that.

Just guessing at this point who might be the NYR trade candidate but I wonder if it could be Trocheck? Pens were rumored to be interested in signing him last offseason. Not saying he’s getting traded but besides the names you mentioned I can’t think of anyone else.

Yeah, it might end up in a trade but I'm certain Dubas is at least kicking tires.

He turns 30 in three weeks and still has 4 years at $6.4M, that's pretty brutal to me when you compare Saros at 2 years left at $5M AAV and a year younger, Ullmark the same age and 2 years at $5M

If the penguins have to send a 1st for Gibson i'd much rather send it for Saros or Ullmark, fits their time horizon better and both are better goalies.

**Hextall was interested** i'm not sure the current penguins would be, specially for his AAV and term.

While this is true in terms of Saros. Arguments could be made that if Gibson bounces back to his normal behind a competent defense and puts up better numbers, the contract would be considered much better. It all depends on the performance. Sergei Bobvroksy’s 10 million dollars is horrible contract, but he played like a 10 million dollar goalie in the playoffs.

I truly do believe any team that Gibson goes to, he will instantly succeed with. He’s been locked with horrible just horrible defenses in the past few years with little to zero help.

Is he worth a first? I don’t know. GM’s see things we don’t. For all we know he could fetch a 1st and a top prospect or he could fetch nothing more than a 3rd. Fans have little knowledge about what GM’s are willing to give and send for players.

If Gibson is traded, it’s likely today or tomorrow. So we’ll see.

There’s also been a report that Pittsburgh is open to moving their 2023 1st and the teams they’ve talked to about it was Anaheim Calgary (and I forgot the other)

I think regardless what happens, one side of fans will be surprised and the other won’t

I wouldn't be anti Gibson, but i'm giving up a 1st round pick for him.

They've said they'd move the 1st for a *Current young NHL Player* no one on Anaheim fits that mold unless for some reason they'd trade Terry or zegs lol
