El oh el

 

[6ix]

That package might get your Connor Sheary.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers add Tyler Benson

 

[snipes]

Not great for the Pens

 

[Rolo]

Add JP+next years 1st

 

[CraigsList]

Take out Lucic, add JP and add a top end D prospect.

Lucic can't be the contract coming back. this offer is an absolute nightmare for the Pens.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Ouch, that's an insanely bad deal for the Penguins. They basically take a cap dump and get the #10 overall pick in exchange for their elite player. Yuck.

I don't think the Oilers have the players to pull off Kessel. Draisaitl is the only guy that makes sense from the Penguins POV and that's obviously not going to happen.

 

[Dietpepsi]

If you are trying to trade Lucic, you will have to add a 1st round draft pick for the salary dump.
He's has Negative value.
10th OA pick + 2019 1st round draft pick and even then Pitt declines because they are tight against the salary cap

 

[Ragdoll]

Oh god, this is awful for the Pens, does nothing for them. This coming from an Oilers fan.

 

[rent free]

bad for pens

they'd have to add hunwick and the oilers would have to add poolparty and it would be closer

Take out Lucic, add JP and add a top end D prospect.

The Lucic trade is a joke but when exactly did Phil Kessel's stock improve? Two top ten picks and a top end D prospect (that we don't really have)? We're not trading for 22 year old Phil here.

After a 90 point season . As an Oiler fan this is plain and simply bad for the Pens . If the Pens do move Kessel I am sure it is for cap space to address other needs . You don't move a proven point produces for a slug . Actually a slug might be faster then Lucic . I get we have to move cap space to add Kessel . But the ask would be something like

10th OA
Klefbom
Benson

Oilers just can't afford those assets

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Yeah I'm sure a contender like the Pens really want to move a speed demon who scored 92 points last year for a big lummox who scored 34 all for a draft pick who won't have an impact for years.

At a certain point that doesn't really matter. He's a player who's been expected to put up 70-80 points in a given year--so 90 at age 30 isn't going to suddenly skyrocket his value. Especially when you consider the cap commitment to a player playing on the wing. There just isn't a whole lot of room for growth.

Mind you, I do believe Kessel does get traded this summer. I just don't think the return is going to wow anyone when this is the kind of return people are expecting.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Great deal for the penguins.

Oilers would reluctantly accept.

Agree.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Come on now, i wouldn't take Lucic for free.

 

[SEALBound]

Nurse, Puljujarvi, 10OV for Kessel, Sheary

Doubt he'll waive to go to Edmonton.

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

Both teams say no. We need to use 10th for defence and Pittsburgh probably wants good young players in return, something we can't give up.

 

[tgo0]

Come on now, i wouldn't take Lucic for free.

But you get 10OA....

 

[Halla]

pick 10 + worst contract in the league for 92 pt kessel?

Phil probably returns a high 1st + decent young roster player on his own.

Pick 10 + Puljujarvi would be close. if Lucic is lumped in, add a lot more
