Here's one formerly connected to the Penguins...
That Deslauriers trade to Minnesota pretty much confirms to me that the Penguins could get a 3rd rounder for ZAR if they traded him right now.
How do you figure?
Hell I’d have given a 3rd for Deslauriers.
Because Deslauriers is another defense only 4th line rental.
I'd do that at the draft and use those pieces for someone like Chychrun.That trade is likely coming with a Lindholm extension, so that's really not too bad.
That also tells me that trading Dumoulin next off-season likely brings back a 1st and a young roster player at minimum.
It boggles my mind how much players cost todayThat Deslauriers trade to Minnesota pretty much confirms to me that the Penguins could get a 3rd rounder for ZAR if they traded him right now.
