Thread: No Letang - Part 2

I mean look, it's been widely known SJ is trying to unload Burns. It's not like you're going to get a 1st + top prospect for him. Yeah, our prospects are not sexy, but we have a couple of bright spots that we can part with.

Burns is 37 years old. The Pens just happen to be a good destination if we lose Letang, but not many contending teams are going to give up super significant pieces for Burns given his age, nor will they have the space like we will. Most teams would make you retain.

This is a pretty fair deal. Sure, a tweak or two maybe, but overall it's very fair for you guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jance</b></div><div>TBH, the deal for me seems like an overpay for Murphy, but that being said, he might do OK in Pitt. I also agree that Zucker and Kap are not the type of players the Hawks are looking for, and I think the Pens might be better served by shopping them to a team that would be looking at NHL-ready mid-6 payers. I would be interested in the pick and Poulin as the Hawks forward depth is... not so good. I'd say switch out Zucker with another mid-pick or a complementary style-forward prospect (Like Zahorna, but probably not him, because I think he's probably ready to make the jump, but someone like him) and I would do that deal. I'd just drop Kap from the trade all together, no need to add in a replacement value for him, as I think that deal would be fine for the value of Murph.</div></div>

Moving Zucker is the problem. I think it's possible to get him completely off the books, but it's going to take a certain situation and this is one that works which is why I made the deal a little better for CHI.
