Letang moved because of emergence of Dan Marino's son?
Malkin won't be moved though right?

JR later clarified that he's not looking to trade Letang or Malkin.
If he says he wants to get "younger" while not trading a core guy, I think that really leaves Hornqvist as the only big trade this off-season.

Quite the 180 from the Jack Adams thread less than a month ago, unless the idea is that Sullivan is fine, but his assistants need to go.That "everything" better include the coaching staff.
Thanks.
So expansion draft protection wise, which route do you guys go and id assume if its 7-3-1 you protect Letang, Dumo and Pettersson?
Marino is exempt right?
Hornqvist is still good, but how much value can you get for a 33 year old physical winger signed until he's 36 with a full NTC in a flat cap world?

I don’t get the get younger part so much.
Outside of Malkin / Crosby / Letang / Hornqvist / Johnson.
The team is between 23-28yrs old. I didn’t include Marleau because he is going to walk.
So if they aren’t trading the 4 above as they are the elite on the team. As Johnson is most likely not moveable. Is Rutherford meaning the 23-28yr old players are to get younger?
Schultz is 30 maybe he’s one of the only pieces moving?

Does Guentzel cound as part of the core? Or would JR entertain offers for him involving young players and/or NHL-ready prospects + picks?
How about McCann? He's 24. Would something around Jost and McCann work?
What would Pittsburgh want for McCann or Rust from Colorado?Guentzel is definitely safe I imagine. McCann may be a trade candidate but Jost for McCann is a downgrade with pretty much no upside.
Marino is exempt. I kind of hope we find a D better than Pettersson this offseason and protect him. Leave Petts as the #5 and if we lose him, so be it.Thanks.

Gotta make more room for more contracts like Johnson and Tanev's
Yeah for a team that's "going for it" with moving futures for Zucker it's a huge fail to get eliminated so early. Hard to see what direction they'll go in now, other than moving out a goalie and a couple of older players.There isn't much left there to trade if you're keeping the core together. They have $60m committed two years from now and guys like Johnson, Hornqvist, Tanev and Bjugstad aren't fetching you much.
Three picks in this year's draft...
