Thread: Thanks for Granlund Hextall you bum
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensman69</b></div><div>Guys can we at least be reasonable given the circumstances</div></div>

Reasonable in what way? These Karlsson trade packages some ACGMs are doing are just silly.. Petry and Granlund plus picks/prospects AND 3.5 retained by SJ…
I think this is reasonable, sending out Granlund is the last major piece Dubas needs to play.
Moving him out frees up space under the cap for maybe one more bottom six player if he wants or he can hold that cap space for the trade deadline.
Granlund had over 40 points last year. He just didn’t fit in a system he was traded to, that doesn’t mean he’s not a serviceable player, he has talent in the right spot. A second round pick is what he was acquired for so that should be equally enough to send him out.
I think that’s pretty reasonable.

Thread: I aint hear no bell
So the pens absolutely cannot trot Jarry and DeSmith back out there as the goalie duo. Jarry can’t stay healthy, and DeSmith cannot shoulder the load for an extended period of time to fill in for his absence, this has killed the team for several straight seasons. A goalie change is an absolute must for Dubas.
Washington is not trading Wilson to Pittsburgh for anything less than an absurd fleecing.
Donato and Engvall are good pieces that I think Dubas will pursue, but that Barbashev contract is way less than he’s going to get especially after his performance in the playoffs this year. He’s a must pursue for the pens though, would be a great add for the middle six but he will be more expensive than that at his age for that amount of time.
This team is over the cap anyway, it will cost more to offload Grandlund and the DeBrincat thing.. honestly think it’s going to cost way more than that to his rights. He would be a great add for this team but the Pens don’t have the capital to pull something like that off.

Thread: Roster Shakeup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>It's not that I don't think the Pens wouldn't like Schiefele - I was more leaning towards they wouldn't like what they're paying. If Schiefele is available I have no issues with them taking a look</div></div>

I see what you mean. I think Sullivan would appreciate getting back to the center strong position, solidify the depth there, have a great option on the second PP and have a good skating and playmaking 3C. All the usual suspects are being tossed around and it’s looking like big changes in WPG, wonder if this might be an interesting trade target. Now I may have over inflated his worth, but something like this would be able to pry the guy from there and put him in a better position for next season. Does Scheifele want to put one more season into a team looking to rebuild right now? Some of those guys that have been there for a while might be in the same boat with WPG. Interesting thoughts for armchair season
