Thread: Last moves of summers

Agree, the value isn't too far off but Cap is such a premium this season. also, GMJR loves having Left-handed D on the Left and Right on the right.

if they is a trade out there I see it being Schultz and JJ together for a two-way RD d-Man and they sign Jake Gardiner. Only say this as I've heard rumours JG has a deal in place to a team with no cap and it's confirmed Pens when in on him. they couldn't fit him on the team without moving Schultz. With Schultz in the last year of his contract and likely gone in the FA, the move isn't out of the question.

Thread: SJS Kessel trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jkorchok35</b></div><div>As a Pens fan, I say no to this. This trade doesn't make us better in the now, which is what we are playing for. The first round pick is probably in the 20s range, which usually doesn't pan out for 2-3 seasons at least. Our top 6 in D is set, so Braun is not needed, and Tierny and Meier are not top 6, which is what we would need in return to make this trade. I would say no to this if I were GMJR. Pens have to play to win in the next 2-3 years.</div></div>

I think that you´re right about the value of the pick, if we don´t have Kessel in SJS, i don´t believe we will make playoffs (in general without adding any 60+ points player, not Kessel specificaly) so the pick has bigger value and when Kessel is in SJS our chances rise and the value of the pick drops... It was similar with getting Martin Jones, who was traded for 1st round pick + sth else and in his performance in playoffs made the pick number 29 overall

But still this trade is never gonna happen, I´m just bored without hockey games :D
