you raised the cap LOL

Duchene trade is horrible. It affects a lot more then meets the eye. In 2 years, after you've resigned Guentzel and Hornqvist (not sure where you get that money from) and you can't just let Cole walk, he's one of the best shut down defenders in the league, the next year you have to resign Duchene and Hagelin(again even if you got rid of Cole where is the money coming from? Then the next year Murray is up and is gonna want a good pay raise.

Colorado's 1st round pick trade expectations are: 1st round pick, and in Pittsburgh's position they'd have to give up a 2nd round too because they're expecting to go 3peat, replacement forward(they're not exactly scoring a lot), best prospect (because you're taking their best player) and so you'd have to give up Guentzel.

Recap: 1st, 2nd, Guentzel for Duchene (Don't like it? Don't trade for him)

Thread: Penguins 3-Peat Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vino</b></div><div>

I'm not sure what's so scary about Murray in the regular season. 32-10-4 record with a 2.41 GAA. lol</div></div>
His rookie season he played 49 games, which is gonna skyrocket now that Niemi is your backup and he is bad idc what price, so now Murray will play 60-70 games, he has to they just traded their franchise goalie MAF. So his GAA is significantly worse in the regular season and gets worse the more games he's played, as many people have already talked about, he is a playoff goalie not a regular season goalie, the opposite of MAF, he's gonna fall a bit. He's insanely young for a goalie, look around the league he's not going to keep up the level of play he's been at during the playoffs, plus the Dcore and morale of the room has changed since MAF is gone and probably more d moves.

Thread: Penguins 3-Peat Roster
No way Chicago retains that salary, no matter the term or value they're getting back, if the player coming back is at a low deal with 1 years term that'll have to be resigned next offseason. They have other players they'd want to keep.
Kruger has completely lost his game, even for a 4th line center I question why you got him.
Eakin will be expected to be as good as Bonino which I don't see likely, I think Eakin is good but Eakin/Kruger as your bottom centers is concerning.
I think this team is hurt defensively and has no depth in net, Niemi is not a good goaltender, watched Chicago &amp; Dallas.
No way Vegas is giving up Theodore, he's their top defense i've prospect, and with no playoffs for a few years I think they're gonna want to stock pile young prospects and once they develop they earn ice time.
Offense is fine aside from Eakin/Kruger, defense scares me, goalie scares me even more after watching Murray in the regular season last year.

He would still have to agree to go to New Jersey. Then Edmonton takes there first round picks for the next 4 years, Drai probably isn't enough to push them into the players and they with no cap space when players such as Hischier and Mcleod need to be signed Edmonton comes in and says thank you very much</div></div>

Not necessarily, he could accept it knowing Edmonton would match it, but as a fall back be going to a franchise with an elite goaltender, elite LW, a #1 center coming up, and a bright future and they could easily turn everything around, remember they won the draft lottery they didn't finish last. With the money they have they could get a good pairing of D's in FA. Easily make the wildcard in the East, the Metro is going to be weaker next year, as will the Atlantic. Edmonton has had plenty of 1st round picks, how many of them not named McDavid or Draisaitl can you name that actually changed this teams fortunes? And people think he should make $8M? That's insane he's done just as much as Connor has done, in the playoffs McDavid was just coming out of his shell while Draisaitl was tearing it up. Edmonton wouldn't be where they are without Draisaitl. Draisaitl's gonna get paid.
