Proposal: Loui Eriksson To Pittsburgh

[66-30-33]

Would Pitt fans entertain Helm at 50% ?

I would if we traded JJ for Helm at 50%.

2 years vs 4 years.

Then Helm at 50% to some other team for someone that's a pending UFA and we clear all that cap space.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

what the

no

Wings decline easily, even if it was no retention on Helm.

 

[OCPenguin]

with injuries to Malkin and Bjugstad a trade to the pens seems reasonable

The Canucks retain half his salary and in return get a 3rd rounder in either 20 or 2021.

Terrible for the Pens.

 

[Elite Grinder]

Terrible for Pitts. They needs a C not a W........but how about Sutter??

 

[DingDongCharlie]

So Pittsburgh trades for a winger to replace their injured centres?

Malkin at that. What a kind and wonderful solution offered by the Canucks. Such generosity, the Canadian way.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Terrible for Pitts. They needs a C not a W........but how about Sutter??

That is a big huge negative. I would rather just suffer JJ for the rest of the season and not trade anyone for our injuries and just see what we can patch work together till our centers come back than to ever... EVER... See Brandon Sutter in a Pens uniform again.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

if johnson is going the other way, possibly

Not even. We will just play some of the kids from WBS and hope for the best!

 

[RRenegade]

Maybe Pittsburgh would like Brandon Sutter back in their lineup to help at centre?
He is available at a low, low, low cost, this week only............................Brandon Sutter - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

 

[Cogburn]

Pens fans have repeatedly mentioned they don't want Sutter back.

 

[Hamurai]

No to Ericksson, but I’d obviously listen on Sutter if JJ was involved.

 

[M2Beezy]

Pens fans have repeatedly mentioned they don't want Sutter back.

Maybe Pens management might tho

 

[FerrisRox]

with injuries to Malkin and Bjugstad a trade to the pens seems reasonable

The Canucks retain half his salary and in return get a 3rd rounder in either 20 or 2021.

With injuries to two of their centres a trade for an overpaid and largely useless winger seems unreasonable.

 

[TeddyBare]

No to Ericksson, but I’d obviously listen on Sutter if JJ was involved.

That's amazing for pittsburg
get a player to fill in with 2 years left and $8 million being owed.
and get rid out a terrible d-man who has 4 years left and $12.5 million owing

Yeh, no shit. It was in reference to people saying the Pens would never listen on Sutter.

 

[wej20]

Maybe Pens management might tho

Well JR has traded Sutter twice so maybe he'd like to get him back so he can trade him for a 3rd time.

 

[M2Beezy]

Well JR has traded Sutter twice so maybe he'd like to get him back so he can trade him for a 3rd time.

I keep hoping other teams managements might be as dumb as mine. Let a dreamer dream

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

To Dallas ... for Jamie Oleksiak.

 

[M88K]

To Dallas ... for Jamie Oleksiak.

Hahaha.

Could definitely see Nill doing something that stupid

 

[Halla]

Eriksson at 3mil still has negative value. He hasnt hit 30pts once over the past 3 seasons.

only way to dump him is a neal-lucic type trade. maybe work something out with boston and backes?

 

[TGWL]

Pittsburgh has 2 injured Centre’s. Canucks fan suggests trading them an awful winger. Seems about right

Want Ryan Strome instead?

 

[Jumptheshark]

nope nope nope

 

[Mick Jagr]

Nah, you can keep him until he's 37 years old. No thank you.

 

[SEALBound]

Want Ryan Strome instead?

I would do Ryan Strome for Jack Johnson.

That said too, I would consider a Johnson-Smith swap if NYR retained enough to make salaries even.

Strome is an RFA after this year. No way are we taking johnson back here.

Regarding Smith, he's got 1 more year. If salaries are even, we are taking 2 extra years. Doesn't make sense. I'll take a mid pick for Strome. He's not a cap dump.
