Sportsnet: Galchenyuk on the trade block when Penguins are healthy

[BrookswasHere44]

Why is Galchenyuk getting traded again?

I mean he's not fitting in Pittsburgh but I don't think it's a pressing necessity to unload him

How is he not fitting in? Isn't this the second time he didn't fit in on a team. He seems like a consistent top-6 forward.

Let me explain..

He's not very good.

Edmonton should try to get him. Value seems much higher than costs.

I think he falls in that Sam Gagner category where he’s really borderline top 6 and relies heavily on the PP to produce, but most teams have a few lefties capable of running the half boards. And absolutely not cut out for bottom 6.

Great assessment.

When Penguins are healthy? So, in other words, he will be here for life.

On paper, that seems like a move the Pens should make. However, isn't Toffoli struggling as well? It might just turn out to be a swap of LWer for RWer who basically provide the exact same thing.

Yes and that's the exact kind of trade JR tends to make whenever he has a struggling winger. That's what he does.
