Roast me.
Pit: not seeing Guentzel in their long-term future, they deal him to the Kings, along with depth piece Eller and goaltender Nedeljkovic in exchange for the troublesome Pierre-Luc Dubois, 25 years old and maybe, just maybe, can see the light being around the consummate pro himself Sidney Crosby. Huge, huge risk, but younger. If he can learn from Crosby, Sullivan et al how to be a real pro, who knows, maybe 4th time's the charm lol, and they get a center for the future to shelter Yager and others they draft. Pens also get young left winger Arthur Kaliyev, yearning for an opportunity and likely to get it alongside either Crosby or Malkin for a couple of years to help him grow. Not bad for him or the Penguins. Plus a 1st and 2nd, and a replacement backup goalie for the rest of the year.
