You could be right about Hanzal taking more but at the same time hes played on a bad team his whole career one would think he might want to try winning for a change but at the same time still get paid a pretty nice contract. But money usually does talk. Finding a solid 3rd line center is very important. Because at some point hes going to play on our 2nd or 1st line when Malkin and or Crosby go down. So they need someone that can fill in.

The Pens have made a lot of d men look bad at times haha. I would agree having 5 good d men may be going over board but again Letang will get hurt its bound to happen. If we had cole playing as our 5th d pair and playing 15-16 mins a game i would say we are looking pretty damn good. I would rather spend some money on our d then anywhere else just as insurance.

As For Hagelin i think we could find a team to take him. Someone like the Oilers he would be able to keep up with Mcdavid and or Drasaitl or even the Leafs i could see needing him Hes a really good penalty killer something thats important to a lot of teams. Even if the Pens had to retain a little cap to move him say around 750 k i would say do it.

Instead of Bonino i might look at a guy like Martin Hanzal. Has a little more offensive upside. Hes bigger and his two way game would be just as good as bonino if not better. I might even throw a little more money at Hanzal just to get him. I wouldnt go to high but something like 4.2 mil per year for 4-5 years.

I still think the Pens need to add one more top 4 d man. Someone that can play in all situations. I would love to see the Pens add Orlov. Yes hes an RFA but if they threw an offer at him of something like 4.5-4.8 im not sure if the Caps could match that with their cap issues. It would also cost us a 1st and a 3rd something i think we could afford to get a legit top 4 d man. They would have to trade Hagelin to make it work cap wise but i think a team would take him off of our hands.

The Pens would have to offer sheet Orlov but if they were to it would cost them a 1st and a 3rd to get Orlov. In my opinion hes worth that. Plus the Caps are then missing a top 4 d man. I dont think they would be able to match that price.

I have Rust moved to the Ducks because i couldnt figure out how to move him to Vegas.
Pens would have to move Hagelin and Fleury but the prices i have them going for i think is fair.
Something i think the Pens need to do is Add a top 4 d man. Thats a very nice top 6 to have too. Its deep everyone can skate and move the puck which would fit right into Sullivans system.
Having Hanzal as a 3rd line center would be great. Hes great in his own end has size and is pretty good in faceoffs. He would be a perfect fit as a 3rd line center. Add in Gagner who could easily play a top 9 role.

I would like to see the Pens add another solid d man to their team. Someone who can skate and handle the puck. Orlov is a RFA but you could offer sheet him for 4 mil. The Caps more then likely wont and cant match it. You would have to pay a 1st and a 3rd something i think is fair to give up for a 25 year old d man who could easily play in your top 4 and run the 2nd power play if needed. That give you a very good top 4 defence with Letang Schutlz Dumolin and Orlov and then a bottom pairing of Cole and Maatta. Who has a better d then that?

The forwards would be pretty young with Sprong Guentzel Rowney Wilson Rust but overall i think they are pretty good. Moving Fleury for 2 2nds i think is more then fair for both teams plus saves cap. Hagelin i believe would be a good fit on the Oilers with their speed game.

The pens still have lots of cap to work with or if im off on my calculations you could give more to Dumolin Sheary Schultz Orlov or who ever it may be.

Vegas could take Maata or Hagelin this way as well. If thats the case the Pens still have 4 mil to play with. EIther way they are sitting pretty.

Ok and go.
