Thread: 22-23 Penguins - Get the gang back together
I'd love if the Pens could pull this off but there is some serious issues with this, it's very unrealistic.

First off, why would Trocheck sign here if he knew we re-signed Geno. Why would he wanna come be a 3C when he could go be a 2C or even a 1C elsewhere for more money as well. Makes zero sense.

Secondly, Erod will cost more than that, 2.5-3.0 mil probably. I mean the guy did put up 40+ points and then follow it up with a strong playoff performance.

Thirdly, so long as Hextall is the GM there is basically ZERO chance we move Carter. Not only does he have an NMC (which it would already be hard enough to get him to waive it), but there's also no way they move him right after signing him to an extension. Sully loves him, Hextall loves him, Burke loves him. No way he goes anywhere.

Fourth. Marcus Pettersson can absolutely fetch assets. He had a good year. You do NOT have to pay assets in order to move him. He's 25 and signed to term at only a slightly overpriced AAV, lots of teams will snag him for a 3rd rounder. A desperate team might even give up a 2nd for him. Why you think you'd need to give up assets to move him is odd...

Like I said. I'd be real happy with this team heading into next season, but it's just an unrealistic team for too many reasons. Sorry to burst your bubble

Thread: A new era
I feel like if you're going to pay Klingberg 7mil you might as well pay Letang 8. Klingberg ****ing blows. He's not worth 4. He's the OEL of this years FA class where he had ONE good year 4 years ago and people are still viewing him as an "elite" guy. He's a decent top 4 defender. He aint bad, but he's worth 4.5mil not 7, it's just unfortunate that the market for him is so high this year. Some team is going to make a HUGE mistake signing him to big money.

As for the rest of this. Good signings, good terms, I think that Nucks trade Benefits both teams and I think Miller Sid Jake would be a DOMINANT line. JT Miller is a perfect fit for Sid. Only thing i'll say is, I think you can get Heinen for less that 2.75 mil, most people im seeing have him in the 1.5 - 2.25 range.

The only part about this I wouldn't like is Klingberg for 7mil.
