Now to the trade. I don't like it :awesome HA!

$5.5M RFA compensation would be a 1st and a 3rd.

Fleury is Riikola/Ruhwedel level, blah.
Reimer is near cap dump level. I get the vet backup aspect, but at $3.4M it's a bad get for a team flirting with the cap ceiling. That cap hit puts him in negative value to the Pens for me.
Geekie is very interesting, but barely even top 5 forward prospects for Carolina, maybe 4th-6th forward wise. Good but not great.
3rd matches the 3rd

So, vs offer-sheet compensation, you are passing on Carolina's 1st (#20ish) for an okay prospect, a #7D and a cap dump goalie. With Rutherford's poor recent trading this wouldn't necessarily surprise me, but I would hope for more. A better prospect plus certainly retention on Reimer.</div></div>

I was looking more at Pens need the offer sheet value which lets face it isn't real value because how often are there offer sheets so the 1st and 3rd comparison is kinda out the window. Carolina probably could be squeezed for more. Definitely a higher draft pick, suzuki instead of geekie. I think Fleury would be a diamond in the rough and solid shutdown guy. But Bean is the better flashier D prospect.
I wanted to err on the side of not making it too lopsided for the Pens but probably didn't go far enough.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmmyg</b></div><div>I agree with your logic on the goalie tandem, and Jarry might be the cheaper option moving forward. I just don't really know if Murray/Jarry would be the definitive selection for Seattle, but it would make sense to not take a chance. They can get a much better player for Murray though. I like Haydn Fleury, always have. The value of the Carolina package isn't much better than getting another year of Murray and losing him for nothing though. And I would 100% rather have Bjugstad for another year than Kyle Turris for 4 years. I love your contracts here though</div></div>

Yeah I thought about getting a better player but also didn't want to over inflate Murray's value. But don't sleep on Morgan Geekie. Complete package center with size, and is a good faceoff guy. Fleury just seemed to fit the need. Big, skates well solid defensively. Jake bean would probably have been an easy replacement as he is a better prospect. Could probably increase the draft choice as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MajesticWalrus</b></div><div>Now is the time to move bjugstad with the trade market having all these overpayments. Stecher is always played liked that every season till they realize they need him. They've already increased his minutes recently at 17 on average playing him with Edler. Stecher is faster than Tanev and definetly Myers and he's better than Myers defensively, it's tanev, you'd have a tough time with, trying to convince canucks fans stechers better than him but he is and he's younger. Beagle being more defensive than offensive doesn't make him bad. One of our best line combinations this year has been Reese, bleuger and Tanev for their defense not offense. And motte is better defensively than the comparables I gave and he's really fast. But his offense isn't as good but he always plays 3rd or 4th line minutes so who knows. I think he could do really great with Crosby or Malkin offensively like Rust, Simon, or McCann.</div></div>

You are still giving up a top 4 d a 1st and a 2nd for cast away players.
And they are only increasing Stecher's minutes to try to trade him. He also a midget on ond fed 5"10 180lbs
