Thread: i had a dream last night that the Pens made this trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HillbillyPenguin88</b></div><div>J. Anderson 5yrs/$5.5 m age 28
21-22: GP-69 G-19 A-13 P-32 PpG-0.46
20-21: GP-52 G-17 A-7 P-24 PpG-0.46
19-20: GP-39 G-1 A-3 P-4 PpG-0.15

J. Guentzel 2yrs/$6.0m age 27
21-22: GP-76 G-40 A-44 P-84 PpG-1.11
20-21: GP-56 G-23 A-34 P-57 PpG-1.02
19-20: GP-39 G-20 A-23 P-43 PpG-1.10


M. Matheson 4yrs/$4.875 m age 28
M. Pettersson 5yrs/$4,025,175 age 26


Guentzel&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Anderson
Matheson=Pettersson (Matheson probably slightly better)

MTL total cap hit from this trade is $10,025,175 for 7 years
PIT total cap hit from this trade is $ 10,375,000 for 9 years

PIT adds more cap and term while getting older and way worse, but at least they get a 3rd pick. Yep this is a nightmare for the Penguins.</div></div>

yeah idk why this is a discussion, it certainly was a nightmare for me

Thread: 23-24 MacKinnon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>you are still making the trades to sign lesser value players, that is clearing the cap off the books to make other moves. That is still clearing 10m off the books in trades, that is the point, you need teams who actively want those cap hits so you can go around and sign a collection of lesser players.

Dont make the 10m off the books clearing moves and try to fit mackinnon.
You cant do that and fill out the roster? Funny, looks like you need to clear 10m off the books to sign a guy like Mack and still fill out the roster</div></div>

But the trade doesn't have to happen - and he signed an even more expensive defenseman. He only cleared 1.5mil. The ANA trade doesn't even need to happen - so no they don't need teams who want those cap hits and don't need to clear 10mil in cap space. I dont know why this is so difficult for you to understand.

I already showed you that they don't need to take 10mil off the books and can fit MacKinnon. It was literally my first comment to you. So stop being condescending and saying I can't do things when I've already done it. Funny, looks like you can't read.

Thread: (ANA/PIT) - Rakell for Aston-Reese, Simon, Clang, 2nd RD pick
VERY GOOD Trade by Pittsburgh and Ron Hextall. Penguins trade away a 750K league minimum guy (age 27) and a $1,725,000 Guy (age 27) who both shoot at the Goalies Chest since day one for a 28 year Old Guy who has scored 339 TOTAL NHL Points of which 154 are Goals of which we need more of. The Second Round pick is a guarantee for a guy like Rakell and Throwing in Goalie Prospect Clang when we don't need him is no big deal at all. THE BEST part is that 35% of RR's Salary is being retained by Anaheim. We NEEDED a TOP 6 Forward who can score and we got one. Some might comment that his points have gone down over the last two season but since he's been on such bad team that can be expected. WE (THE PENGUINS) have just added a player who can absolutely finish and put pucks in the goal and NOT the goalies chest. Sure ZAR is good on the defensive side of the puck but that's because he usually plays on the defensive side of the puck but with some NEW R&amp;R we have finish and speed and legs to ADD to our lineup which is already super strong. Let's Go Pens!!! Nice work management and getting rid of the TWO players that my best friend and I have been begging you to get off our roster. AWESOME!
