Thread: Rebuild TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>The Pens trade is interesting, but here's a few things...

1) Hextall has been adamant that he's not moving the Pens' 1st or 2nd picks, so if he somehow softened on the 2nd I think it would be for a bigger deal than this.
2) I think that's a tad too much for Kubalik. The shine has worn off on him a bit, so I'm not saying he doesn't get you a 2nd, but I don't know that every team would do that.
3) The Pens can't afford the deal as-is since they have no cap space. They have zero cap space and even with the mid-season proration you'd need to either retain and/or take some back.

I'd say the best the Pens can probably offer is a 3rd, Aston-Reese + prospect. Something along those lines, which is not an attempt to low-ball. It's just a reality of the Pens situation and what Hextall would likely give up.</div></div>

Granted Kubalik hasn't been anywhere as good as we know he can be. Fingers crossed he picks up his form so that we can get a decent return.

Thread: Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Kampf is worth more then a 5th, certainly worth way more to this team then a 5th. Reichel is definitely not a 4th liner. Suter gets $1M more. De Haan is likely gone and not a first liner, but get what you are trying to do teaming him with Jones. This defense to me is not much improved despite getting Jones. We need Murphy, need to get rid of De haan and Z and Jones is a risk IMO that's not worth the price of admission. Grab Lindholm from the Ducks, I doubt he's part of their rebuild plans and would better fill the real hole which is at the top line LHD.

Lindholm - BoQ
Keith - Murphy
Kalynuk/Stillman - Mitchell/Regula

That to me is a better defense, which is what this team needs, then adding Jones, giving up Murphy and making De Haan a first liner.</div></div>

Edited. Look better? Thoughts on other trades?
