Oh boy.

 

[DRAGO 18]

No idea what Hextall is up to lol

 

[andora]

Oh boy.

Stole my line

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Wonder what for.

 

[Legion34]

Ummmmm??????
I thought they were dumping salary

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Interesting, Zucker going the other way maybe? Hard to fit in that big cap hit otherwise

Edit: maybe Matheson? They seem kind of unbalanced LHD to RHD

 

[BB88]

Crosby 35
Malkin 36
Letang 35
Petry 34(35 next season).

Makes sense

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Pens trying to get as old as possible. It’s an interesting strategy

 

[Trade]

how many millions are gonna be retained?

wonder if it’s Petts+Blueger to to be their Danault replacement?

 

[Kryten]

Now bring Jagr back

 

[Mickey Marner]

Must be some sort of retention and a dump going back.

 

[Dominance]

Crosby 35
Malkin 36
Letang 35
Petry 34(35 next season).

Makes sense

It does actually, this team has a competitive window of three more years at absolute MAX and wants to be as terrible as possible after that. No point in being a Minnesota.

 

[Riggins]

I'm guessing for Marcus Pettersson and a 2nd or middling prospect. No retention.

 

[SnS]

Can’t say this is shocking after Marino was dealt.

 

[CupInSIX]

Has to be some retention or big cap going back, or both clubs have more moves to make

Petterson would make a lot of sense.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Hextal playing musical chairs! Where he throws his chair away haphazardly and then gets the old reliable chair he has been secretly obsessing about

 

[MXD]

LOL and Letang was rumored as a replacement for a parting Petry.
(...and Petry was sent to Pittsburgh to play on the same team as Letang).

...And frankly, that is the best role for him. In his good days, he's plenty good enough for the first pair, but his best hockey came with him achoring the second (or 1-B) pair, while Weber was leading the 1-A pair)

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Now bring Jagr back

And sign Chara. Show them your commitment to winning and sign them to 3-4 year deals

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Edit: Sorry folks. Just saw the other thread.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Makes me feel a bit better about losing Marino depending on what we give up here. Don't care too much about age considering pens have a 3 year window anyway.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

got to be a 2023 1st if it's not it's a steal

 

[BB88]

It does actually, this team has a competitive window of three more years at absolute MAX and wants to be as terrible as possible after that. No point in being a Minnesota.

But betting on old guys is risky as hell.

The older you get the more injury prone you get.
& the odds at seeing sharp decline go way up

I don’t see the Pens as an elite team with or without Petry

 

[Akrapovince]

Crosby 35
Malkin 36
Letang 35
Petry 34(35 next season).

Makes sense

This is what people mean by saying trade for players that match the timeline of your core?
