Kinnunen might be returning to Europe next season, I meant..

So we get worse in order to go for 1 last push before a rebuild? makes no sense

I rather have Pittsburgh keep Guentzel than trading him to Vancouver.
This Jake Guentzel trade rumour is ridiculous.
I don't know what Dubas is going to say.
This trade btwn PIT-VAN isn't happning, in my opinion.

In case you are out of it in the playoffs, you would need NHL ready players + top 6 forward for next year.
Top4 D will be needed next summer as well.

Personally I see it would make no harm to give a chance to Dorofeyev and Podolzkin to improve their game this year with the big guns and hope someone will crack in the lineup next year.

For Guentzel you need a player in return who can help the team next year when the team tries to go for the one last push with off-season signings

You can sign those in free agency haha, The one last push is this season, not next season

That’s probably the bones of the deal + our first. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Kuzmenko, Brwstewicz, 1st

Have you seen the market? Who do you think could sign with PIT who could fit the top 6?
PIT doesn't have a first rounder in the draft so it is not a biggie to try to develop some guys for the next year.

Exactly, we don't have a 1st this season, so we should be going all in and putting the best team on paper to make the playoffs and go on 1 last run.
The UFA is pretty stacked at foward as of Right now, so there would be alot of options for next season if we were to lose jake haha

You trade Pettersson for a couple of 2nds and cap space next summer? Why? You aren't signing a player as good as Pettersson for that cheap next summer so just keep him. Jake isnt going anywhere either.
