Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 9, 2024

Published: Feb. 9, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I know Nashville is in the playoff hunt, but if they're out by the deadline.

If the VGK rumors are true that they're possibly interested in bringing back Smith. Trade Rationale:

-VGK would obviously have to free up space for Smith
-Kolesar helps free up space, both roster-wise and cap-wise, but also helps address a player type for the Pens.
-Kolesar coming off the books makes it easier and cheaper to get a 3rd team to retain the difference, about $1Mish.

The ANA deal:
I know it's not the strongest offer, but Poulin has kind of resurged in the prospect department after some bumps in the road, so while I know he's not the sexiest prospect, he's back on track.

Henrique can pull a 24 1st with retention, we'll sell him for that, the prospects don't interest us.

Pass on Henrique. I think the Pens need to go out and get a defense first defenseman.

I guess you didn't see the rest of the trades?

Carrier? I would look at someone more like Lyubushkin or Megna.

Carrier is a sleeper pickup. Lyubushkin would be nice as well, but Carrier is underrated.

Oh look just what the penguins need another 35 year old player.
Hell lets sell off one of the few prospects we have that could actually play at the NHL level for him.

That VGK trade, just was the penguins should do. Send out a guy who can score, for one who can't.

none of this makes them a better team.

NSH passes. Another LD is the last thing NSH needs and a 3rd round pick, even if is high isn't enough to get Carrier with retention.
