Replace Luff (i think he's on the roster still ) with Grundstrom who shouldnt be moved imo

I could argue that Vilardi and Bjornfot are the highest ranked untouchables. Vilardi is literally dominating shifts as of late.

Your post basically implies Anderson/Bjornfot are not equal to Sandin as a prospect. Except “this season”.

It really doesn't. It implies that adding a prospect of Sandin's quality moves the needle long term for any organization.
Has zero to do with neither Anderson nor Bjornfoot.

But it doesn’t when you consider we already have Anderson, Bjornfot and Clague.

I'm glad Toronto didn't use that same logic when they selected Robertson despite having their young forward core. Value is value. However, this isn't going anywhere good so I'm going to peace out.

Clearly the Kings also didn't use that logic when they selected all those dmen. there's a difference between drafting and trading. We would be trading something of value to obtain another dman that is comparable to the aforementioned players at this moment in time. Whereas, when we draft someone...we expect that person to be developing for the next 2-5 years (depending on draft position) which gives the organization time to figure out who may be expendable down the line.

F*** your ice cream!
If we take in a d-man, we will ship one out. I am guessing Walker would be the odd man out
I hope its maatta myself but ur probably right with Walker
edit I change my answer to Kurtis MacDermid its time.

Walker/Clague would be the odd men out of value, but it has to be for an upgrade...not a lateral move just to make trades.

A new career
I was going to suggest Pettersson and see what the offered return might be.
He's solid, steady, not yet 25 and locked up at around 4M until age 29. Not overly physical but rangy, and has sound positioning instincts.
The conventional wisdom seems to be that the Pens will trade Dumoulin when he gets back to health, and I understand that logic. To be clearly, I'm not just trying to get MP off the roster. Its just I think he might have the much better return becasue of his situation.
With Matheson, Marino and POJoseph, I'm thinking the Pens D has plenty of youth and would be okay parting with a mid 20s guy if the return was right.
Non of these make much sense for LA other than the Wagner to Pitt, but really I do not see the draw for the Penquins. He is a fast Sean Donovan.
Werenski would be amazing but would (and rightfully so) cost a fair bit. Seems like more of an offseason move.

I’m gonna be stubborn and say no to everything except Werenski or Sergachev.
I think Blake is in a position where he needs to be stubborn. If it is not a significant upgrade above who they have then better to hold.
You are not alone.
There is basically no reason at all to do a trade for a defender if the upgrade isn't huge.
bringing a hanifan would screw LA's expansion draft. Makes no sense.
After expansion I would pay more than Lizotte for him.
