Nope.
Gally obviously isn't Yakupov level flop, but he's a flop.
Russell isn't the D-man that should be on the trade block, it's Larsson.
We need 1-2 more Achibalds, not to trade them away.
We have no need to downgrade in the draft.
Nope, NOPE, NOPE!

I think Galch is the kind of player who would greatly succeed playing with someone like McDavid... actually everyone exceeds playing with McDavid lol

That's a yikes worthy proposal. Yikes.

God no from the Penguins POV. At least Galchenyuk's contract is done after this year, Russell is still under contract for another year after this. Definitely not.
But you get a younger player in Archibald playing at almost the same pace as Galch and you get a 2nd that you dont currently have

Sounds like what Pens fans said about him with Crosby. And Malkin.

He really sucks though. I think so anyways. Pens play fast and so does Edmonton, well, a couple of them do.

I’d do this to get out of Russell’s cap for next season. Maybe swap Kharia in for Archie and Pens keep the later of their picks.

I'd rather trade Larsson.
Larsson for Gally + 2nd would do it for me.
Ah, you guys don't have a 2nd this year.
Larsson for Gally + 2020 3rd + 2021 4th.
Holy **** you guys don't have a 2021 4th.
Larsson for Gally + 2020 4th + 2021 2nd.

woof I think you went too far the other way man... Gally isnt good but he isnt so bad where they need to add a 2nd and a 4th to get a dman who has 4 points this year...

"Exceeds" what? Yakupov, Eberle, Lucic, and a rotating cast of thousands haven't "exceeded" a damn thing playing with McDavid. Draisaitl, Kassian, RNH, and Maroon have been the only ones to elevate their games playing with him.

I would be open to something around Galchenyuk and Larsson

Why are we giving up the best asset in this deal? I don’t want to move Archibald either, he’s been very good lately and the buzz is we’re going to try to re-sign him. Galchenyuk has no value whatsoever.

That doesn't make the Pens better by any stretch of the imagination, it lets us dump Galchenyuk but for a guy this team once had and doesn't need and another guy the team definitely doesn't need or want in regards to the quality he would bring.

You are aware that the Penguins gave up Archibald for nothing like 3 years ago, right? Archibald would be in the AHL if he was in the Penguins organization, he's definitely not better than any of their top-12 forwards (13 if you include Guentzel) and I have doubts he's better than Lafferty or Blandisi either.
