As a Stars fan, I don't mind this trade. The only semi-bad thing about it is that Shore is 23 and could be a great top 9 player

Kuhnackle is left handed and has plays LW, but has been playing RW because Wilson won that job. What's the difference between the McKenzie and Kuhnackle really? Their the same handed, similar size, both PK a bit ... Seems like about a wash. Pens lost none of their LW and a right on the left side or left on the right side don't really matter as much on offense. In fact sometimes it's better. Ovy is a RH LW and Jagr was a LH RW.

... that means Rust isn't a great playoff performer for PIT anymore. I'd move Sheary before Rust and I think you can pull more for him allowing you to have more assets. Sheary for Faksa and Johns. Sprong, Aston-Reese, and even Rust could fill in where Sheary played. And Sheary is a LH playing the right side ... so there's that too.
