Sullivan won't be fired because he's only on the first year of his very expensive 4 year extension.

I think Sam Bennett is a good guess, though. I think something around McCann for Bennett makes some sense on paper. I think the Penguins "lose" that value in trade, but I think Bennett does more for the Penguins bottom-6 than McCann does (McCann's more of a complementary scoring line winger, and the Penguins 3rd line is definitely not that) and Bennett's a noted playoff player.

Sorry but id pass onMcCann for Bennett, personally i think he goes for the best pick possible IF traded, but I don't think he'll be moved until the offseason.

Ghost? Would Hextall wanna be his GM again?

I don't even know if Pens are in the need for a dman like Ghost but I'm just trying to think of something

Don't sell picks or prospects. Start stockpiling before Crosby and Malkin retire.

Noñe of these moves make Pittsburgh THAT much better and cup contenders.. hextall was a easy guess but Burke came out of nowhere. With these 2 the direction ( right or wrong) is to try and win now. Wrong chocie in my opinion but its their game...pure speculation but I do know pens looked at Bennet before and had a third line pipe dream of Bennett tanev and McCann. I wouod not be shocked they make a move for him.
Let's have some fun now, pens ship Bryan rust or zucker for evander kane . Pens trade for Jake Gardiner...
Pens ditch Mike Matheson for MAF.
Casey demith shipped out for a pick.

Incoming Kane , Bennett, Gardiner, Fleury
Out desmith, Riikola, zucker, ZAR, MM,
Good times in pens land

I'm confident Hextall doesn't want Ghost.

I'm also confident we won't trade him to Pitt, so it's moot.

Is it just me or generally aren’t these the 2 opposite ends of the spectrum?

Hextall wants to wait and build and Burke always pushes his chips in?

odd pairing unless I am wrong on hextall
