Hey Pens fans! I’ve got one heckuva whopper for you :) It’s exactly the kind of big ugly proposal that gets outside fans absolutely torched on sub-forums. Haha. So I expect and welcome the flaming. It’s well-deserved for coming in hot like this. So all the preamble aside:

To PIT:
OEL
Kuemper (50% retained)
—Total: 10.5aav

To ARI:
Pettersson
Jarry
‘21 2nd rounder
—Total: 7.5aav

^ once you’re done ripping me limb from limb, if your find your rage isn’t satisfied, you can turn on @Toby Flenderson - trust me…he deserves it. ;)

Penguins can't take on that excess cap and cannot give up the draft pick.

Remove OEL and the 2nd rounder and add Dvorak.

To PIT
Dvorak
Kuemper (50% retained)

To ARI
Pettersson
Jarry

I wanna get rid of Petts and Jarry real bad, but not enough to take OEL with no salary retained and Kuemper, while also giving up a 2nd rounder.

I'm sure we can find other ways to dump our trash without paying to take someone else's bedazzled trash.

Is Kuemper any good?
Kuemper is 3rd in GAA and 3rd in SV% over the last 3 NHL seasons among all NHL goalies with over 50 games played. Remember, The Coyotes SUCK at hockey. They’re 9th in GA/GP as a team in that same span. So how bad were they in that category when he didn’t play? Pretty bad.

But isn’t he hurt a lot?
He’s tied for 20th in GP among all NHL goalies over the last 3 seasons. He’s played less than 3GP fewer per season than the guy who’s ranked 13th in the same span.

Why? The Penguins add another expensive left-handed, left side defenseman - this one with a contract that lasts until 2026-27, when OEL is 36.

Kuemper is nice, but OEL doesn't address a single item on the Penguins' list of needs. Plus, he makes it more challenging to address those items AND he blocks POJ from getting a shot at the NHL.

We can't do OEL sadly. LD would be a total mess next year.

Okay, go get that 1st rounder, bud! :laugh:
Nah nah nah. You guys seem like good guys. So I’m gonna give you the good guy discount. Okay? Okay. We can just drop the picks from the proposal altogether and then you’re happy. Me? Not so happy. But what am I gonna do? I need my new friends, from the steel city to be happy, am I right? Okay!

I just don't want OEL. I want to dump Jarry and Petts, trust me, but I don't want to take that dogshit contract attached to a lukewarm player in return--even if it means getting a solid goalie like Kuemper.

I just don't think the Penguins and Yotes are trade partners. Especially in anything relating to OEL.

Sure, why not. I’ve seen us use cap space in far worse ways.
