<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DDUB</b></div><div>I think you make strong points. Pens would have to have a good RHD locked up in FA to make the Garland trade with Marino.

To me, having a dynamic 2nd line offers more than what the 2nd pairing defense is providing the Pens. If this was 4-5 years ago, you would never consider trading a young Marino who is locked up. The Pens have 3-4 years max window. Load up the top 6, hope those ELC middle 6 forwards develop for your 3rd line and go for it.

Regardless of what we think, I have a feeling GMRH will make some moves this off-season.</div></div>

Yea I just think they wanna make sure the team is still decent for a while cause a full on rebuild will hurt ticket sales so much. That's why their first is off the board. They need to find a good winger for this year who doesn't cost as much and can be resigned beyond this year. I agree Petterson will be moved, and probably zucker too. POJ and Marino will pair up and they'll hopefully look for someone to matchup with Maths. Personally I like guys who can be had for not a ton more than Kap himself, ie Rakell, Olofsson, Gurianov, ect. Then I'd like a guy like Mayo from Ari or a similarly 24-26 y/o bigger stay at home dman to pair with Maths. Then I'm all for Namestnikov for a 3rd cause he'll play on any line and be effective. Mayo has term and is solid, give them a 2 and theyll add a low end prospect like Raty. Olofsson and gurianov are RFAs and don't have huge qualifying offers, Rakell is a UFA but shouldn't cost a ton to retain. Thats my ideal deadline cause those guys can be retained and then in the offseason you move Petterson and Zucker to have more cap. That way you can bring in another guy or 2 and have all the young guys right there
