VGK would likely ask for more, but I don’t think he’s untouchable.

I don’t really see why PIT would consider that deal. It would need to be completely reworked imo.

After a few drinks I might be talked into Hayes for Smith. Ill pass on anything Krug though.

Correct, it sounds like the plan is to get younger this offseason.

you are stuck with that Krug contract, good luck finding anyone willing to take that.
He wasn't very good in BOS and he's not a good defenseman now.

As for Hayes you might be able to move him somewhere if you retain 50% on it. But most likely not to PIT. You'd have to find a TDL buyer next year.

I think the Krug-Graves swap is an issue for the Pens. Krug's stats on Evolving Hockey strike me as him being better than Graves offensively but worse defensively, which is not the niche the Pens are looking to fill. Add in that Krug is ~4 years older and $2M more expensive, and I don't think he's the missing piece to Dubas's puzzle.

I would at least consider a trade centered around Smith and Hayes, however.

If Vegas wants to do that, fine by me.

I'm not sure anybody wants the PITT trade much, except perhaps Krug. squinty smile I do not think Graves is the 1LD answer at all, even if I see the obvious benefit or ditching Krug. As funny as it sounds, I'd sooner bet on Krug rebounding to 21-22 and before form than on Graves handling that job.
