I'm not opposed to the Pens deal, but the issue is cap. Even with the retention the Pens have zero space, so unless there's a secondary deal to retain another 50% then the Pens could ship out a $1Mish player to make it happen.

They could keep Smith on the LTIR until the playoffs to help with cap space.
