Sullivan gots to go!
Trades:
Patric Hornqvist to CAR for Hadyn Fleury (RFA rights)
Olli Maatta to MON for Artturi Lehkonen (RFA rights)
Jack Johnson + Penguins 2020 1st Round Pick to OTT for OTT 2020 6th round pick
Tristan Jarry to TOR for Connor Brown
Leaves Penguins with $14,450,000M in cap space with a lineup of
Guentzel-Crosby-Brown
McCann-Malkin-Kessel
Lehkonen-Bjustad-Rust
Simon-X (Blueger)-X (ZAR)
Dumoulin-Letang
X (Pettersson)-Schultz
X (Fleury)-Gudbranson
X (Riikola)
Murray
DeSmith
Sign the RFAs to plug the Xs, and we should still have around say, 5M in cap space we could use for a forward and bump ZAR/Simon to the bench.
Notable RFAs include Aston-Reese, Teddy Blueger, Adam Johnson, Artturi Lehkonen, Marcus Pettersson, Russo Riikola, and Hadyn Fleury.
Yes to the first two, no to the last two. Trading Johnson is not worth trading a first rounder, in any year. And I would rather deal DeSmith. His value is high as a backup and I would like to see Jarry push Murray moving forward.
The first two moves I would do all day, any day.
