Toronto and Boston decline. Toronto can just take Ulmark for the 1st round pick. Plus, you need to pay a way more for getting rid of Rackel and for taking Robertson. Trades should work both ways. Here I see benefits for Pens only.
Your LDs are not strong for a playoff team and bottom lines are pretty weak. Plus, I don’t see how this group would fix power play. You have good names but it’s not what Pens need. Robertson is not a 3rd liner, Pavelski is useful in top6 offense only. Your 3rd line will finish a season with -30.
Guentzel will not sign with Pens and not for 8.7MM. Be can get 10MM at least in a market. Plus, he would not win with Pens in the next 3-4 years. What is the point for him to go for the first pick in 2026 with 2MM less to what he can make with stronger teams.
