Stamkos to PIT

Created by: PensGMwannabe
Team: 2024-25 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: May 2, 2024
Published: May 2, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Yes Dubas wants to get younger, but we still want to contend and keep Sid. Stamkos checks so many boxes for the Pens. Pens haven't had a sniper on the PP since Kessel left.

Carolina might move Kotkaniemi for cap relief so they can bring back Jake.

Moved Eller for a 3rd so we can play the kids on the 4th line.

Jarry trade doesn't have to happen, but I think they would like to move on from him and ride with Ned for next season.

With a new coach, this looks like a playoff team.

I honestly disagree that this looks like a playoff team with a new coach. We didn't really address the rosters' lack of depth.
The bottom 6 is full of unknowns but would be good enough if enough of DOC, Puusty, Poulin, and Ponomarev take a step forward. I don't think KK is the guy to make up the difference if they don't.
IMO, we need an upgrade at LHD this season. Graves hasn't worked well enough with either EK or Letang, and while POJ looked better during our win streak, he's not good enough defensively to fill the role we need him to.

That makes 0 sense. The Canes have so many players to resign this season that they're going to be Cap crunched. They will probably look to move Jesperi but they're not going to take cap back.

This goalie tandem ain't it.

Ned is not a starter lol.

I'm not really sure how I feel about adding Stamkos at his age, I think it's a mistake personally.

Kotkaniemi could be an interesting thought... feel like CAR would want too much for him though, even though they're up against the cap with the amount of guys they need to resign.

lol it makes way more sense than giving up assets for a 5 million dollar 4 line center. He’s been in the league 6 years, on two different teams , and his current team is playing him for a whopping 12 minutes a night.

Stamkos is resigning in TB.
I wouldn't give up anything for Kotkaniemi, or trade for him. No one wants bottom 6 players on 6 year contracts. Not our mess, not our problem, not taking it in.
If we move Jarry I want a young defenseman back with no ridiculous cap hit.
