How bout Dumoulin+ for Nylander/Reinhart? Obviously the plus wouldn't be too big.
McCabe for Maatta is the only trade I'd do.
Would rather not trade Maatta.
Dumoulin+Sheary+1st for Reinhart and Kulikov?
Well that wouldn't make sense for Buffalo.
It doesn't really make sense for the Penguins to do anything but that though. The only way Maatta would get moved is in a swap for another young D.

We will not trade Reinhart for spare parts. Dumoulin has played well but he is not a center piece to get reinhart even with the adds. Sheary has good numbers but isn't that mostly due to playing with Sid? I mean who doesn't get good numbers with him.

Reinhart is not available unless the Sabres are getting a top pair LHD to play with Risto.
Is girgensens expansion exempt? If so, would be interested in this trade if Bailey was the prospect
So do the Pens stand to lose Maata in the ED anyways? If not shouldn't you move at least one of your D? Any plan from your board to avoid losing someone of pretty good value for nothing?
A lot of us are hoping we go 4-4, Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Rust then Letang, Dumo, Maatta, Schultz
7-3 allows us to keep all of our key wingers, but then one of Maatta, Dumo, or Schultz is the odd man out.
I see, so kinda a damned if you do... But you'd most likely prefer to go 4-4 and lose a winger than lose a D.

The problem with trading Määttä is that without him top 4 D instantly becomes the Penguins biggest need...and that's what Määttä is.
As such I can only see him being dealt in a 'change of scenery' type deal for another young top 4 defenseman...which probably takes Buffalo out of the conversation.
I think Matta for Bogo+++ could work out. Bogo should fit the Pens much better.
Problem is the absolutely terrible Bogo-contract.
Sabres doesn't really have anything that matches the value of Maata.
Hopefully our players will increase in value after being freed from Bylsma. Hard to trade when everyone is looking bad.

Kulikov is a UFA. Pittsburgh can sign him for free and keep Maatta.
Letang will also be back next season.
I wish Pittsburgh could leave Letang unprotected for the Ed. He guys isn't a dependable person to play more than 50 games per. I know last year he did, which seems like a fluke. I can think of 7.3 million reasons why. That is a ton of cash to be playing an undependable player who has a lengthy health issue resume. He will be back, but for how many games until he gets injured again.
