Would not trade rust for pageau. Rust is a great player. Agreed Sheary is not good, would ideally like to find a team to give us a pick for him, maybe buffalo.Wow, what a creative and unique idea.
For real, swap the players and pretend you have Pageau. Would you accept this deal? I personally wouldn't. I don't think Sheary has all that much value, I think teams probably view him as a product of Crosby and they would hesitate with trading a good player for him. I think you'd have to find a GM that really likes Sheary to get a team that would want to trade a Pageau level player for him. I think the best bet if the Penguins are trading Sheary is Buffalo, since Botterill was the guy who originally signed him with WBS.
If Pageau is coming to Pittsburgh, I'd guess it's for Rust, that makes more sense to me. There's a lot less of a question for whether Rust is a product of star players than Sheary (since Rust's strongest attributes are away from the puck). Rust and Cole out and Pageau in is a pretty close salary swap for this year and the Senators save some money in the long run (whether they get Cole and Rust or just Rust).

That 4 goal game really skewed people’s minds.
The vast majority of that is with Crosby. And this isn’t 16/17, he was good in the playoffs against the sharks and then the following regular season but has since fell off sharply imo. He has the Hockey IQ to play with Sid so he’s not “bad” I guess, but watching him play without Sid is disappointing. This season especially, seems all he has is speed. He mis-handles the puck just about every shift.How do you think Sheary is not good? Last 2 seasons: 107 games 70 points (34 goals, 36 assists). In 16/17 his production was better away from Crosby. Not having as good of a year but our whole team has been bad.
Except he rarely plays with Sid and got 58% of his points off Sid's wing last year; not on it which many of those were ppp. Sure glad he reaped those rewards and why Guentzel was glued to Crosby's hip.Not interested in Sheary. Smallish LW, who reaped the Crosby rewards. Picks would have to be added to make it more interesting, but I'm not sure it would make it enough interested to make a deal.
