<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>Ottawa: DeSmith has been better than Talbot this year. No reason to give up a 2nd to downgrade.

Vancouver: Schenn sucks and the Pens don't need him.

San Jose: Too much for Barabanov

St Louis: Way too much for a guy who shouldn't even be a regular on a good team, let alone getting top 9 minutes.</div></div>

Ottawa: DeSmith has been abysmal lately, and the pens need a goaltender that can reliably stay healthy. The asking price for Talbot is a second and a prospect. I mean you could bump that down to a third realistically, but I think you're overvaluing what DeSmith has been this year.

Vancouver: that's a fair point, but what has dumo done this year for us? His contract is up at the end of the season and I would value the cap flexibility more with schenn on a bottom pairing/depth role than dumos turnovers and defensive lapses. Hallander is basically a throw in since dumo probably leaves in free agency.

San Jose: Legare is a nothing prospect with minimal value. The deal is basically blueger for Barabanov. The bottom 6 needs a shake up and with how well teddy had played in the past, he's just not finding his groove while Barabanov has been providing consistent bottom 6 production this season.

St Louis: Not sure what you think we're giving up in kapanen and peohling, but acciari is a bottom 6 center. If we are moving on from teddy (which we most likely will be) then you need a center to fill that role.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Gag, is that a ****ing joke? Evan Rodrigues shouldn’t even be in the NHL anymore. We’d rather play a prospect instead of wasting a roster roster spot on him yet again. You’d have to have a piece worth acquiring wouldn’t you?</div></div>

Respectfully, Rodrigues has played very well this year until he got injured. It's not all about goals and assists, on the Crosby line he was the one going into the corners and retrieving dump ins and played solid defensively. However I can understand that the fans may not want him back. Riikola on the other hand is an absolutely solid young NHL caliber defenseman that will never get his shot in the penguins organization due to the sheer depth at defense. Buffalo is delusional if they think they honestly have a shot this year especially with Eichel out now. If I were them I would try to acquire some assets where they can. If not Rodrigues, maybe Angelo or O'Connor?
