Thread: Pits-Van Blockbuster
This is an extreme overpayment by the Pens. I'm a big Canucks fans but if you breakdown the trade, I basically see it this way:

To Pens:
Tanev

To Canucks:
2018 1st round pick (PIT)
2018 2nd round pick (PIT)
2019 2nd round pick (PIT)

This is the price the Flames paid for Hamonic so is high, but possible. Then you have the second part of the trade:

To Pens:
Sutter

To Canucks:
Hagelin, C
Määttä, O

^This is ridiculous, Sutter is a 3rd line center. Trading Hagelin who is a serviceable 3rd line PLUS Määttä who is a fantastic top 4 young Dman is never going to happen unless Rutherford has a gun to his head.

I could realistically see the trade going down like this:

To Pens:
Sutter
Tanev

To Canucks
Hagelin
2018 1st round pick (PIT)
2018 4th round pick (PIT)
2019 2nd round pick (PIT)

With the Canucks retaining salary to make it work. However with Brassard being traded to the Pens earlier today they no longer need someone like Sutter.

Thread: Karlson trade

A good start but if Ottawa did this they would lose a fanbase regardless of how this sets up the future. They are already having problems selling tickets if he goes and there is no marquee player involved that will help sell tickets OMG. You should hear the radio with just the Idea of Ottawa entertaining trade talks. The Ottawa people are crazy for this guy and he is arguably the best d man in the league and top 3 players in the league in his prime. You will need more to get him. The only way you get him without a marquee player would be if he refused to sign an extension with ottawa and it was clear he didn't want to be here.This will be like the Lindros or gretzky trade in the cost to get this player and the ottawa fallout would be the same as it was in Edmonton.

I live in Ottawa but am not a fan of the team at all. I only go to games to see big name teams and Montreal lol
