Come on dumb question. Of course the Pens because we would be in the finals. You are just temporarily insane over this deal that is so minor to the team. It doesn't prevent any further moves and it didn't move the needle either way. If VGK didn't do this I am sure Pens would have found another party willing to work with cap space which isn't hard to find at this point of the year for a relatively small dollar amount of retention.
Five teams with most cap space:
Arizona -- don't have the $$ to spare; nickle and diming to save $$
Carolina -- new owner; may not have a lot of excess cash right now, especially being out of the playoffs for years
Edmonton -- doesn't seem like owner Katz would be interested in that
Colorado -- doesn't seem like something they'd be interested in doing either
Vegas -- Foley willing to go all in (this season), but how much more would he be willing to spend (for assets to take cap/salary hit)
