Thread: trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Not close on either trade.

Anaheim has absolutely no interest in any of those four players. The Leason trade is ignorant and the Zegras trade is downright idiotic. Anaheim doesn't need a LhD like Pierre-Olivier Joseph and a moment's research would have revealed that. As to the Zegras trade, Rakell is over the hill and fast becoming a cap dump, Poulin is a B prospect well below Gaucher, Mysak, Nesterenko and Pastujov (among others) in potential, and Pickering is a redundant LhD like Joseph. The only element of value here is the over-the-horizon first and for that, we'd give you Ryan Strome.


Using this statistic as if it defines the worth of a 23-year-old with two 60-point-plus seasons under his belt is so breathtakingly clueless as to beggar further description.

Easily the worst evaluation you will make in April and it's only the sixth day of the month!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>Double whiff on those trades. Anaheim rejects both.

Pitt frankly doesn't have the pieces to pull Zegras, and we've no interest in adding any LHD.</div></div>

you realize that 2026 picks probably top 5 if not top 3.
There is no way the penguins would ever trade that pick... especially for a 60 point guy on a struggling year.
You are talking about a year with a 39 year old Malkin and 38 year old Crosby. How many years do you think they have in the tank before this team is picking top 5?
Hell I doubt they even move next years pick after seeing what almost happened with this years as at point they looked like they would be finishing just out the top 5. They simply don't have the option of moving it knowing it won't cost them a top 10 pick anymore. Let alone 2 years from now. Forget it.

I'm not against firing him at all - but I gotta disagree with some of these takes.

It hasn't been arguably 3 years - I mean they clearly went to the playoffs 3 seasons ago. Granlund wasn't a top 6 talent on the Pens last year - so who would you have dropped? Same goes for Nylander this year. Also, you can make the argument that dropping Kessel led directly to back to back cups.

How does he not have a clue with goalie starters? Ned starting isn't a fix. Nedelkovic hasn't been better - they've both been great. You also can't guarantee Ned keeps up his play with a bigger workload and playing better teams. What mistake of a contract? Jarry's contract is fair and he's playing up to it.

Yeah we'd all love Eller to be on a 4th line - but then we'd have no 3C. I do agree about Zohorna though. Ian Cole got traded. Lafferty was a fine 4th line guy but he didn't really have a spot and wouldn't have improved the team in any meaningful way. If you can trade Smith you absolutely should. Honestly at this point you probably should trade Guentzel as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MajesticWalrus</b></div><div>Yea maybe it's just I'm not sure how little he's valued. His cap hits are always really low and he's never traded for much

Past trades:

Traded from Arizona Coyotes with Nick Ritchie to Calgary Flames for Brett Ritchie and Connor Mackey

Traded from Detroit Red Wings to Los Angeles Kings for round 7 pick in the 2022 draft

Contracts:
2.3 million
1.7 million
1.2 million
1.1 million

In my opinion though, I think he's severely underrated by the league. Could easily get more in trades and contracts, even his highest contract could've been double based on similar defenders like marcus pettersson.</div></div>

i love stecher for 5/6 D he is steady no flash but no blaring mistakes. you watch coyotes game and he does nothing great but never makes mistake. i meant sweetner to take carter, i know its rental but a 4th is better than taking carter - he is totally useless for AZ.
BTW Ill bet AZ signs stecher for 2 years @ 1.5m
