Thread: bottom 6 rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Sup has value man. Engvall you are better off just burying that contract in the AHL. It can’t be a big hit. If he gets picked up by a team off waivers, then great.

I’m a Pens fan, and trade Sup to the Pens. I’m sure pens fan wouldn’t hate a DeSmith for Sup trade.

Pens organization seems set on signing a vet FA backup. I don’t totally agree. I don’t think we are gonna get better than DeSmith. Especially for the price. But looks like DeSmith is gonna get traded. We won’t keep him on the roster all season. And he won’t clear waivers at just 1.25M for 1 season. He’ll probably be traded for a mid round pick. Like a 5th or 6th most likely. Maybe a 4th if he goes to a team that is up against the cap and Pens are lucky.

I saw a trade with Sup, Hallander and a 2nd for McCann on someone’s ACGM. And that’s fair value. I hope the Pens wouldn’t do it. It’s definitely not something that makes the team better next year. But that’s good value.</div></div>

Yeah, that's all fair, I was just too lazy to try and put together a trade for those guys that wouldn't get hate, since it wasn't really the point of the ACGM. Alternatively I could have just buried them.

Thread: Core Four One More Shot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>With those players listed and add in Kerfoot possibly to Seattle the Leafs could have close to 20 mil this offseason. More than enough to add a top LW, 3C, a Dman to play with Sandin, and a backup goalie.

You ride it out with this core for 3 more years, no chance Matthews is resigning. You trade Marner now, Leafs will be left with only JT.</div></div>

Not really. We have 12.8mil in cap if we lose Kerfoot, and need to fill at least 6 positions, 2 being top 6 wing, 1 being 3C, and a 1B goalie. Then next year Reilly is gone. Also, this still leaves them with an abysmal bottom 6 outside of Spezza. It will be a struggle to remain as competitive as they have been, let alone improve at all.

I agree though that Matthews is leaving. I've felt that way since I saw the term of his contract. I think he wants to play at home, which is fine. But I'm in the camp that thinks maybe moving Matthews is the better trade to make. Hot take, I know, and Dubas doesn't have the stones, but I just don't think this team will manage to be competitive under the flat cap, and then we lose Matthews for nothing.
