Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 4, 2024

Don't be coming in the comments with some "this is unrealistic" bs. Let a man dream

Trades

PIT

Blake, Jackson [Reserve List]
Nikishin, Alexander [Reserve List]
2024 1st round pick (CAR)

Additional Details:

Would be dependent on there being an extension for Guentzel and a bidding war at the deadline, and even then this feels like a massive stretch

CAR

Guentzel, Jake ($3,000,000 retained)
Pickering, Owen

PIT

Dorofeyev, Pavel
2024 3rd round pick (VGK)

Additional Details:

Still have no idea what an actual return might look like for Smith, but would assume it's a player of a similar age to Dorofeyev and possibly a pick added on as well

VGK

Smith, Reilly

PIT

Hanzel, Jeremy [Reserve List]
2024 1st round pick (COL)

COL

Nedeljkovic, Alex

Why would we move Pickering? He's the top prospect in the system and Petterson might be traded if he can't be resigned so he'$ desperately needed.

I rate Pickering, he's a good player. Nikishin is widely ranked as a top 5-10 prospect in the entire league, and maybe the best defensive prospect. There are levels

the homerism is strong in you man.
Just because he stands out in that watered down weak as hell KHL that is a shell of itself doesn't mean he's a top 5-10 prospect.

(And not to rub it in, they don't even have Pickering in their top 75. Maybe the one overrating their teams prospects here is you)
