[The Great Weal]

Vegas could be a good fit imo

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

He returns at least a 2nd imo

I think if Vegas wanted him they could have found a way to get it done during the Brassard trade.

 

[Dominicr]

St. Louis will give Allen.

 

[derriko]

Vegas doesn’t need any more defenseman so that’s why he wasn’t acquired. Sbisa and McNabb are very similar players already there.

They need a 3C / 3LW.

Please trade him back to Pittsburgh for a 2nd + 2019 4th (whis is conditional turns into another 2nd if re-signed) . Up to 50% salary retention by OTT as required to fit under the Pens cap.

Pens then trade Hunwick for a bag of pucks or whatever they can get — in which case no salary retention from OTT is needed.

IMO Sharks could be a good fit

I don't know if Hexy's looking to upgrade, but I'd be tempted to offer a 2 and Brandon Manning.

Sharks have plenty of D. We’re all wanting DeBoer to play Heed.

Yeah but like the pens recent runs, Depth doesnt hurt, and they wouldnt have to worry about contract

Cap circumvention

 

[AndreRoy]

I’d pay a 2nd for him to the Lightning. If nothing else he’s an upgrade on Coburn.

I would love for the Pens to trade and get him back for a 2nd but would keep Hunwick. Depth in the playoffs is important and I would love 8 deep in defense. I bet with the extra cap space we have that we get a depth defenseman. I doubt it will be Cole but I would be happy if it was just because he had proven himself in the last 2 Cup runs that he can be in our top 6 and help us win a Cup. We don’t have to project how he would fit like another D pick up.

Gudbranson....lots of intangibles

Well it just so happens you’re in luck: Andrej Sustr has requested a trade. He has lots of playoff experience and is available for a low price. No, he’s not a mole sent to destroy your defense from within, though it will likely look that way.

I thought a player couldn't

I thought a player couldn't be traded back to his old team for at least a year's?

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Hoffman + Cole

for

Jenner + Milano + Motte + '19 1st Rd Pick

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sharks have plenty of depth that moving another year's 2nd round pick for Cole is not going to be worth it. If they make a depth move, it's up front or it's swapping out DeMelo or Heed for a good righty on the 3rd pairing like Rutta.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

to the Leafs for a 3rd + Andrew Neilson

 

[VikingAv]

They can be traded back at any time, but not with any retention within a year after the original trade.

 

[Ryder71]

As a pens fan I'd love to get him back as unlikely as that may be. You win with players like him. Pretty solid defensively, physical, blocks shots and better offensive instincts than one might think.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Hoffman + Cole

for

Jenner + Milano + Motte + '19 1st Rd Pick

Absolutely not. Trying to get Hoffman on the low huh...

 

[varano]

Might be a good piece for the leafs

 

[Liferleafer]

Polak+2nd
