2C ?

I don't want to freak out and say that's amazing before I see the return, but if the Penguins didn't take back any salary, this is an amazing deal.

@KaprizovEntitlelist , finally got your top 6 C without dealing Brodin.

Clearing that space.

If this is true, then that's awesome even if it's for nothing more than a conditional 5th or 6th round pick. Clearing his cap hit off the books is huge since he didn't have a spot in Pittsburgh any longer.

lol. Nice.

 

[Boondock]

Oh good the Wild add another C/W that has under performed and is better on the wing than in the middle. Cup or bust land of 10,000 lakes!

Retaining? Where is that report.

This is dumb. Guerin obviously has no intentions of competing next year if this is his plan for addressing the center-ice position

 

[Langdon Alger]

Pittsburgh retaining any salary?

 

[Empoleon8771]

If the Penguins are retaining money, I don't see why they're only getting a conditional 7th back for him. He's not an attractive asset at all, but his buyout is so tame that I don't know why the Penguins would be retaining any money.

If it's a conditional 7th without the Penguins retaining, that's fine. Standard cap dump, luckily the Penguins didn't have to add to get rid of him. If they retained, I'm a little irritated.

Not for a conditional 7th they didn't

Good for the Pens to clear cap. I guess Juice replaces Koivu for center depth.

If we’re paying for the player at all, even a 7th, it makes it quite obvious this isn’t a buyout

Might be small like 500k which is less than the buyout. You also get a 7th maybe. So paying 500k for a pick pretty much

 

[Ouroboros]

Have to believe that there is some substantial retention here yet to be reported...

 

[Gurglesons]

Pens official twitter reported it with no retaining.

Pens official twitter reported it with no retaining.

In the NHL.com article they linked it says they did Pens Acquire Conditional 2021 Draft Pick from the Wild for Nick Bjugstad

He will be flipped at the deadline for more than a conditional 7th
