Letang, Desmith, and Gally for Barrie, Engvall, and Kapanen. And we retain the 2.2 million.
i am not a letang fan and get so sick of his mistakes and turnovers, but crap that is awful for the pens come on.

Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles.
The Blues offer Jay Bouwmeester, MacKenzie MacEachern, and Jacob De La Rose for Letang @ 50% retained and Pittsburgh's next 1st round pick. Before you you react, just know that I don't value that 1st round pick much but won't say why.

That would be a steal for us. Getting younger.
We just traded are #1 for a #3.
Then we got a young guy figuring out the game soon to be top 6 maybe next year. How is this good

I think we're past the point where bringing logic to the discussion makes any sense.
I don't think any team is...it is a substantial ask as even the basis of a larger dealRight, thought it was an either/or. Habs are certainly not in a position to do that.
Absolutely correct. They managed to win a cup without Letang. They also needed him to win another..he chews up huges mins can play powerplay a d every single situation. He knows how to play against ovie. He knows how to play with sid and geno which is a huge plus. His value to this team is HUGE but smart the same time it's not as high as you think outside of Pittsburgh. Yes I get sick of his turn overs too ut getting a replacement would be an enormous cost. Shultz filled in ut he is gone after this yearSo you can win a Championship without somebody but you need him? Can we point to another instance of this in any sport?

Letang is a product of playing his whole career with Crosby and Malkin. Out of all top d-men he has the most secondary assist with less game. ASG was another perfect example. 3 on 3 and had 0 points and they gave up like 8 goals.
We've had some of the most high powered offenses over the years; Crosby, Malkin, Neal, Kessel, Guentzel. We don't need offensive d. We just need d-men who are defensively sound and can move the puck. I don't need my offense to score goals. I just need them to not give up goals which he can't do in the playoffs.
Barrie is a 50 point d-men and 5 years younger. Engvall is a nice prospect. Big body LW and looking solid in his first year in NHL. Kapanen, I never wanted to lose him. 40 point RW.
This would be a steal. Lets see what we end up getting for Letang if we ever do and I bet we wish we had those 3 players for his absence.
So you want Letang traded because he makes stupid mistakes and are ok to replace him with Barrie. Have you seen some Toronto games lately?
Something around Jeff Petry?
He's a solid no. 2 D man. Can play top pair mins. All situations. Great skater.
This year and next $5.5AAV
Letang has the extra year at $7.25AAV
The payment to move letang would be massive and just not going to happen. Nobody is ready to jump in and take tjdoe hard mins. Shultz is probably leaving when the season is done. Not saying we couldnt be bought but the price tag would be so high so teams would walk away.I'm fine with moving him because he's injury prone and not good come playoff time when the ice shrinks. Most offensive d-men aren't. He's good for regular season and eats up minutes. Getting a solid dman and wing for him is a better playoff team.
Look at the Sharks.. 2 Norris winners who are arguably better than Letang and one of the worst teams in the league. This trend of adhd riddled defensemen who picked the wrong position as a kid needs to end. I'll let Crosby, Malkin, and Guentzel worry about scoring the goals. Just play your ****ing position and stop giving up goals.

Pens might have to add Kahun and McCann to the mix...maybe more? I dunno.The Blues offer Jay Bouwmeester, MacKenzie MacEachern, and Jacob De La Rose for Letang @ 50% retained and Pittsburgh's next 1st round pick.

I'd have to decline that one.
