Thread: Rutherford Goes All Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vancity2196</b></div><div>Penguins are not trading Guentzel &amp; Crosby. </div></div>

Why not? If the Pens aren't going to make the playoffs this season, they sure aren't guaranteed to do so in the near future. Do you really think that if the Pens get to the decision point of moving Guentzel, they wouldn't move anyone else? Especially if they can restock with someone like Petey? Canucks are giving away a huge asset in Pettersson. Seems reasonable that the Pens would be willing to move on from Crosby. Feels like you're mixing sentimentality with business. As a lifelong Liverpool supporter, I can guarantee that the Fenway Group don't have that problem.

Seems that common intel out there is that Vetrano is on the market for the right price. I guess not the price I offered, but there is a strong likelihood he gets moved. If adding futures, is required, I'm sure the Canucks would be willing to do so. He's a guy who's been on the Canuck's radar for a while. Point being, it's likely that Vatrano is getting traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>:laugh 4 years of Crosby for a lifetime of Elias Pettersson, Crosby says No.

:laugh Zadorov+4th round pick for Frank Vatrano, That joke of an offer is DOA on Pat Verbeeks desk.</div></div>

There's no guaranteed lifetime of Pettersson for any team, he's an RFA with the potential to walk as a UFA in 2025.

As far as the Vatrano deal goes (seems like the description doesn't show with the rosters any more), I had noted in there, happy to tweak/add where appropriate. I'm not the most tuned in to some of the tradeoffs in value, but I do feel like there should be some pushback on your slamming of my trade. Zadorov is a lot more than a 3rd pair D. D has more value than forwards. Size isn't coachable. Canucks can throw in a player from Abbotsford if required.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sporkknife</b></div><div>Like, regardless of what the offer is for Devon Toews, he just signed in Colorado and has a lot of term left on a great deal, I don't even think he would be on the market. I think Graves is a lot more realistic of a trade target if you want to go that route. Personally, I feel RHD needs more help anyway.</div></div>

You're gonna lose one of Toews or Graves to the Kraken. Doesn't matter to me who the Avs want to keep, Canucks are happy to trade for either of them. Here you get a promising prospect and a draft pick. Nate Schmidt was worth a 3rd. Feels like you're getting fair value for one of Graves or Toews.
