I have no clue why Dubas wants to respect Rust

Created by: gpmack95
Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 4, 2024
Published: Mar. 4, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Trades
1.
PIT
  1. Bunting, Michael
  2. 2024 4th round pick (CAR)
Additional Details:
CAR was a rumored team interested in Rust. Curious if this could have been a swap since Dubas is very familiar with Bunting and Rust is a right shot RW
CAR
  1. Rust, Bryan
  2. 2024 7th round pick (PIT)
Additional Details:
It's been reported that several teams are very interested in Rust, but Dubas would prefer to respect his NMC unless he gets blown away with an offer... Not sure why, he talks about wanting to getting younger and moving Rust would be best imo.

I want whatever you're smoking. Edmonton is not going to give up that much for a winger on an expiring contract. No team will.

I agree, they should approach Rust and trade him. Not sure Rust for Bunting is fair, would want to see more coming back to Pitt.

If Rust wants a move it would be in the offseason. What’s he supposed to say? Everyone is for sale? They aren’t going to say that.

The Oilers have by far the worst offers of any of the teams that will be after Jake.

I don't think the Canes would be eager to take on that Rust contract.

The trade makes no sense from either team's perspective. EDM needs those quality depth players and PIT needs futures- not depth players.

Rust probably gave up a good amount of money to get that NMC in his contract. He might not waive it at all. I agree Dubas should be asking.

Oh, why do folks believe what a player or GM says publicly especially about players contacts or trades,
I'm sure Rust name has been mentioned by Dubas in trade talks with GMs. But no team wants his contract for 4.5 years.
So Dubas was just being polite. He's gonna to be say, "I haven't ask Rust to waive his NMC", because the fact is no team has offered to trade for him.
Admitting the deal you proposed is somewhat fair. But geez, saying ":It has been reported several teams are interested in Rust", really has no credibility.

My guess is it's because he's not going full rebuild. If he was then it makes sense to trade Rust. If not, keeping him is a good idea - he's had a fantastic season.

It’s funny because I was thinking the same thing . It favors the oilers so much . There’s no way the pens given up a top 5 LW for that package . Totally unrealistic

I want Jake in Vegas to watch the Oiler heads explode when they’re out in the first round again.

This is the absolute laziest way to say “I can’t back up my argument with facts so I’ll switch the subject all together” 😂😂😂.
I’ve been to 5 cup final games . How many have you been to ?

Says the guy who thinks a winger who’s better than all of your wingers isn’t worth that trash above. Holloway is a bust. Your prospects are all mediocre. Honestly you don’t even have what’s needed to trade for him.
