Salary Cap: 2014-15 Roster-building Thread III | All UFA/trade talk, speculation here

[Shady Machine]

If you were the Pens GM, and the Oilers called you offering Yakupov for Sutter, Despres and a 2nd, would you do it? I'm curious to hear what people say. We get a young guy with huge potential, and he would be money along Geno. I'm split, Yakupov would thrive here along Malkin and under Johnston without a doubt, and that deal could end up looking amazing if Yakupov reaches his ceiling of a legit top line sniper. However, that's a lot to give up for a young player who has (for the most part) struggled in his early career. We could probably get a more established and better player for that package.

No I don't think I'd do it. There's too many question marks around Yak for me to pull the trigger on that. I'd rather do a lesser deal around Perron if I'm trading with Edmonton.

15 teams have scouts in CEC tonight, per Josh Yohe. That is a large amount

It's probably just to see how the Pens play under Johnston.

Gonna lock this up. Will have a new thread up in a minute.
