                                  U can take the Sabres off your list of possibles
                                  Besides u wanting A TON, the Sabres are stacked at forward & not gonna add a guy like Guentzel who will need a huge & long contract
                                  We just aren’t there yet

                                  There’s no chance

                                  Not that i think the price is bad, I just don't think Detroit will be in the market for Guentzel as we cannot afford his extension. Even if we send Fabbri, we would still need to clear another 4+ to make it work and that means making our team worse in another area.
                                  We need to spend that money in other areas of need.
                                  Also, we currently have the 5th best offense in the league, and although any team would greatly benefit from adding him, the benefit wouldn't hide the fact that we are weak in many other areas.
                                  Our main concern should be adding on the back end and hopefully in the offseason so we don't spend assets doing so.
                                  We would also benefit from defensively responsible forwards who are physical.

                                  That makes sense. I guess with Seider & Raymond extensions incoming, you guys need to be prudent about splashing the cash.

                                  Very much so. Yzerman blew his load on free agents the past few years, and despite what people think, it's actually made our team substantially better. Just need to have good cap management until guys like Maatta and Chiarot are replaced by ETCs and other guys like Husso and Fabbri are off the books.

                                  Price. We don’t do expensive rentals and we wouldn’t sign him until he is 36+

                                  Holloway and Mcleoud aren’t being traded. I could see the sending kulak Bourgault 1st and probably 2nd or 3rd and that’s absolutely max

                                  The Pens already tried David Perron, didn't work at all.

                                  I would be shocked if Pens accepted that. They can do much better for a PPG player.

                                  He was only mentioned for cap. I do think Fabbri makes a lot more sense as the roster player coming back.
