Speculation: 2015 NHL Entry Draft

[Penguinator]

I would do cartwheels naked down my block if Kunitz went for a 2nd round pick in this year's draft (or any draft, really).

Good thing i don't live near you!

Trade Kunitz for a 2nd round pick and draft Spencer and Sprong in the 2nd round (trade up with a 2016 3rd if needed). I feel like those 2 will both become very good players.

we need a high 2nd .........not sure we could get that from the teams ahead of us.

I think something around Semin (some salary retained)+carolinas 2nd rounder (35th) should be doable.

unless we go nuts, and over pay......I don't have much faith in that happening....forgive me.

Send Sutter and Dumoulin back there.

That would be a heck of a swing, getting a high 2nd and a legit winger for the top 6. Depends how badly they want to move Semin...

I think they would be willing to give him away just to get rid of his contract. The question is, do they think he has some value if the attach the 2nd rounder to him? i doubt it. The 2nd rounder might convince a team to take on his big salary, but not giving up any assets. The question is, if we throw in anything of value, will they be willing to eat some salary?

Thought Jesse's feature on players who might be around when the Pens pick was pretty solid:
