TD sell edition

Created by: Pensfan303
Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 19, 2023
Published: Dec. 29, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If the pens find themselves out of the playoffs by 6 pts or so mayby a bit more, id strongly consider a slight sell and recoup some assets and try and kick start a rebuild/retool.
Trades
1.
PIT
  1. 2024 3rd round pick (NJD)
Additional Details:
Potential fits:
EDM, COL (Backup), NJ, Car (Backup), Tor (Backup)

Id assume with the goalie market being pretty thin Ned can easily fetch a 3rd if he keeps up his play
NJD
  1. Nedeljkovic, Alex
Additional Details:
Ned has had a good season thus far and should generate a good amount of interest on the trade market if the pens are out of it and going to sell.
2.
PIT
  1. 2025 4th round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
Any Contender

Ruhwedel most likely doesn't fetch more than a 4th.
COL
  1. Ruhwedel, Chad
Additional Details:
Ruhwedel is a good 6th-7th dmen, the type of defensemen that every contender looks to add for depth on the blueline. Hes also a right shot which is somewhat rare and makes very little, so he fits under every teams cap.
3.
PIT
  1. Edstrom, David
  2. 2024 1st round pick (VGK)
Additional Details:
Potential fits:

COL, Boston, Dalllas, Vegas, Florida

Went with Vegas cause they love their big names haha, Guentzel would also add much needed goal scoring from the LW position in Vegas as he would for any team really haha.

Cost for Guentzel is a 1st + a top prospect for the team he's going to, he is going to be a popular target if he's made available.

Edstrom is a big (6'3) two way power foward who was drafted with pick 32 of last years draft. With the lack of propects in general in the pens system, I think they would try and land a true center prospect to pair with Jager down the line.
VGK
  1. Guentzel, Jake ($3,000,000 retained)
Additional Details:
Would suck to see him go, but if the pens are out of the playoffs by a decent margin and the extension talks aren't going well, you need to move Jake and not lose him for nothing.

Vegas decline.
I can't see Vegas getting Jake Guentzel.
Why would Vegas get Guentzel when they have Stone, Karlsson, Eichel, Marchy, etc.
There is no need to do this trade.

Yeah, that is true.
I can see Guentzel donning a VGK jersey.

I’d explore the market, haggle, see what’s out there, but ultimately would buy Ned at that price if that’s what it took. Wouldn’t be my first choice tho

Love the VGK trade. I think Petterson would bring us a massive return as well, he's so underrated

I just don't see Petterson being dealt this TD if we are out of it and sell. I think with Dubas it would be kind of a reload and hope we can contend next season and if not than it's a full blown rebuild

I think he'll go for full rebuild tbh. If we can't make playoffs this year it will be even tougher next year. Would have to replace Guentzel + improve in addition to that and I can't see any big FA wanting to sign here given we are so close to a rebuild and missed playoffs two years in a row.
