Haven't seen this one tossed out there...

Olli Maatta for Sam Reinhart as a base?

I'd have been more receptive to something like this before the season, but Olli's looked fantastic out there. Finally being healthy has done wonders for him.

In your dreams maybe.

No chance, way overkill for the 3C spot.

Scott Wilson+3rd

No

Plekanec retained?

Agreed it'd be overkill but it'd be an interesting swap. Reinhart is still on his ELC a likely comes in cheaper than or comparable to Maatta next season. Maatta's gotten of to a hot start thanks to me letting him go in my keeper league, but his health will likely continue to be a question.

Plekanec retained?

plekanec will most likely be traded at the deadline. he's a pending ufa with some value, that's the most common type of player to be dealt at the tdl

 

[PKV Jungle Friends]

Why are we still talking about trading Maata? It makes even less sense now and it didn't make sense in the summer either, unless Duchene came back which he wouldn't.

Doubt any team will help out the Pens after they won a Cup, unless they overpay for a key #3C.

Why would trading a 3C to the Pens be "helping out the Pens"? I'd assume that something of value that the other team needs would be going the other way. It's not like people expect Colorado to send Duchene for Carter Rowney and a 7th round pick.

Can someone tell me why the Pens should pursue Riley Sheahan, he seems about as vanilla as they come. 2 goals last year, 0 points so far this year (small sample size, i know), but either way, he seems like a player that's trending down. I think they should search for better options.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Sheahan for a 3rd/4th

 

[Deen]

Stajan for a 4th?

GMJR likes players who are talented but are in a bad situation. He believes he can turn Sheahan into a legit 3c.

Stajan for a 4th?

The main issue with Stajan for a 4th is that I don't think the Flames want to play Jankowski on the 4th line anyway, so they are then without a 4th line C (unless Hamilton tags in long term). They really just need to suck it up, move Bennett to the wing, move or waive Glass, and call it a day.

Please take Brandon Sutter back... We'll include a used Dorsett, a bad Gudbranson, or a "promising" Ben Hutton if needed.

 

[Liferleafer]

Starts with Bo....ends with Zak.

Wasn't Ben Hutton supposed to be pretty good prospect atleast was at one point? you're giving him away as a throw-in?

Depending on the price, I'm sure Pens fans would be very willing to listen.

The issue is that the Leafs probably keep him for their own playoff push...but just for poops and giggles....whatcha got?

NHL GM's don't think that way. Pens acquired Bonino because Vancouver believed Brandon Sutter was really going to help them.
