Proposal: PIT - Dumpster Dive for LW

[Pinkfloyd]

But you claimed Noesen from PIT.

I know but the draft pick was in regards to Sorensen being one of the guys asked by the OP.

 

[Brightwing]

Sorry Zack Smith.

He's been having back problems. That's why he missed the bubble. He was put through waivers and is now on IR.

Ah. Welp. Scratch that one.

"This situation I'm coming into now is certainly different than the one that we took over in LA or in Philadelphia," Hextall said. "I'm not a one-trick pony. I'll work with Burkie to become the best team we can become today. If we can get better this year, we'll try and get better. And if we feel like we're good enough, then we're good enough and we'll go on."

When Hextall explicitly goes out of his way to say that he's not a one-trick pony, and that this situation is different that LA or Philly, what do you take that to mean?

 

[Mattavarner]

Toronto has one gently used Jimmy Vesey

 

[PettersonHughes]

You've come to the right place! We have 1st round pick pedigree for sale in Jake Virtanen (typically a RW but I think he's better suited flying up LW anyways), Roussel (gritty and has some skill) and Pearson (you guys know all about him already, but he's a better version of what you guys had so he'll cost a bit more).

Let's start the bidding, shall we?

 

[The Duck Knight]

Heinen for a 3rd. Can even make it a B1G1 and you can have Guhle for free.

Not interested in a rebound dalliance with Pearson.

Virtanen will end up in Sullivan's doghouse within an hour of being on the ice. He's completely not the type of player the Penguins need.

Roussel is the only appealing one, but I think Hextall/Burke will try to address the hole created by Jason Zucker's injury rather than spend on a premium third line winger like Roussel.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

I hear that Jeff Skinner is available!

For $6 million retained maybe.

 

[Moose and Squirrel]

Zucker is likely dead given PIT’s injury luck. They need a cheap LW to slot their roster correctly and have nothing internal. Some proposals..

Riikola for Z Smith + retained

Riikola + 5th for Flippula

Jankowski + 5th for Marcus Johansson

Riikola for Sorenson

What works?

sounds like PITT was interested in Dunn from STL a little while ago. wonder if it could be expanded to include Sanford.

Injuries to STL right now might make it hard to pull off tho

I would love to add Sanford. What is St Louis looking for?

hmm... thought I replied to this, but.. whatever

not real familiar with PITT's roster do not sure? someone in the Bennett/Foligno mold.. maybe even someone like a Hagelin? picks..

The only piece that would make sense then is McCann. Which seems like St. Louis downgrading on what makes them St Louis..

 

[glenbuis]

MTL doesn't need a LD.

It’s our most glaring need

anyone hear any rumors on what the supposed deal that was in the works for Dunn was before Rutherford stepped down?

No. You're not getting a 24yo top 4 capable dman signed long term to a good contract. for a UFA wing performing averagely and a prospect in Russia.

Maybe Butcher+Gusev @ 50% for Pettersson+Rodrigues or something.

Toronto has one gently used Jimmy Vesey

Would Toronto be interested in a crap for crap trade? Like Vesey for Jankowski?

Haha re: Pearson he's actually been top-6 quality next to Bo Horvat and a relied upon defensive player. Wouldn't want to give him up anyways

Ooh if Roussel is appealing, he's yours for a 3rd.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

He’s as much an NHLer as much as the likes of Sorensen, Smith, and Filpulla

Which Smith? All of them?


It's Givani Smith (not Giovanni), though I caught myself calling him Gio/Giovani til recently. Doubt DET would trade him for a mid-round pick (they paid a lowish 2nd), but there's a slight chance he may end up being ED fodder unfortunately.

If the cap is even, id do it

MTL is a good fit then. And I guess the player coming to the US technically don’t have to quarantine that long huh?

To STL: Too much
To PIT: Dunn

Bobby Ryan for a second

Nah dog

 

[57special]

Haula might be a good target. Should be cheap, low AAV. He can play both C and wing. NSH would be looking for futures, i would guess.
