Confirmed with Link: Pens acquire Reilly Smith for a 3rd round pick

[Big Friggin Dummy]

JR would have traded 14 and Pickering for him.

All joking aside that's probably closer to true than not.

 

[Peat]

Tell me guys, am I happy?

You're posting here so probably not.

 

[Pens1566]

Very niiiice.

 

[SomeDude]

Apparently it’s a next year pick to boot.

 

[66-30-33]

Cool a trade.

 

[Turin]

Apparently it’s a next year pick to boot.

Is it Vegas’ pick from Blueger? So basically Blueger for Smith? Lmao

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Penguins traded 20 games of Blueger for 2 years of Smith

 

[Ugene Magic]

This is a great trade...

 

[Ryder71]

No, it's just you're thinking that Hex is still the GM of the Pens.

Seriously this is a great 1st deal for Dubas.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Smith for Bleu is a f***ing AWESOME trade.

Flags fly forever

Would be a prudent move is this was da beauty league.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Confirmation from Vegas, including the pick being in 2024.

So, yes, essentially Blueger for Smith.

 

[Trade]

Love this move. Always thought he’d be a good fit with Sid (not that I think that’s where he’ll be playing next season)

Dubas era has begun!

 

[Ryder71]

Very niiiice.

Noice!!!

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Nice little piece of work.

I would assume Vegas needs some wiggle room. These are the kinds of cheap but effective deals targeting strapped teams that I was hoping to see.

Guentzel-Crosby-Smith
Rakell-Malkin-Rust
X-X-X
DOC-Poehling-Carter

Pettersson-Petry
POJ-Letang
Smith-Rutta

X
DeSmith

~19 million to fill out the Xs and perhaps sign a top-4 LD if we dump Granlund as we should and sign Poehling and DOC to around $1.0m each. We’re in a GREAT spot.

 

[StaalForOne]

:Slow nod of approval:

 

[Randy Butternubs]

The Athletic player card for him tells me that I should like this trade:

 

[Empoleon8771]

 

[Sorry]

 

[HuskerTornado]

Nice deal. Forgot what those were the last handful of years.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Oh shit, this is great

top-6 winger for a 3rd? lets f***ing go

 

[Sorry]

So we traded Teddy for Reilly Smith. Take that ten times out of ten. And I really liked Teddy.

 

[Big Poppa Pump]

Basically, it's Smith for Blueger, lol.

I like this deal a lot.

Way to go Dubas
