Thread: Penguins No JJ Trade Gusev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Yeah but here’s the thing, Jugs is much better than Tanev. That’s a dumb downgrade. Tanev is a rust downgrade as well. Rutherford has no clear sense of how to manage the salary cap.</div></div>

He already said he knows he has to make another trade. Pretty much going to be between Rust and Bjustad. I think the Blueger 3C experiment may actually be worth the risk. We just saw what Sundqvist did last year, who knows. If not, sucks to go into this season without a 3C (although there is cap room) but the team is a lot better.

I am setting myself up for disappointment with Gusev, I think hes the next Dadanov. A 60+ potential point winger at 4M (even if its only one season, go for it all this year then) is something that launches us into contender status. Move Johnson in season with picks if Riikola looks good, and invest that cash? You got a serious contender.

I like Letang... but I like the leadership and chemistry Tatar brought to the lineup.</div></div>
Fair. Montreal has a lot of wingers that could probably be of value to the Penguins, but the salaries in that trade aligned very close.

Fair. The pick could definitely be negotiated. Penguins would obviously love a first over a third.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cap2018champs</b></div><div>I think the value is fair for everything. Don't think Anaheim is interested in Trading any future picks though. Also, so many Pens fans want to trade Rust. I think he is so underrated and under utilized by Sullivan.</div></div>
Rust is pretty much a victim of us having Kessel and Hornqvist (one of them playing on the 3rd line at all times), so if Rust isn't playing with Crosby then he's on his off hand and not as effective. He is pretty much a good utility winger who fits our team well, but is a cap victim.
