Kapanen? The irony. Lol.If we traded Phil for picks would there be anyone worth offer sheeting that is elite?

They would need to be our own picks to offer sheet.
Yes, I want to get our second back from FL to offersheet Vrana. Who has our third pick?

Then what to do with the cap space? If no decent winger back, that leaves no one but a bunch of tweeners to play with G.I posted a trade to the AVs Kessel for that later pick plus say Timmons if healthy. AV's have to add some serious AAV just to get to the floor. Pens get cap space and AV's get the RW they need who is going to be just like he brought to the Pens a PP presence and a RW who can add scoring to take pressure of the first line.
We have a first and a third in the 2020 draft so we can offer sheet anyone from between $4.3 mil and like $ 6+ mil something or other...we could certainly offer sheet Vrana, Kapanen, Johnsson for example on a bridge deal between that amount...
We aren't offer sheeting anyone.
Just like we would have to retain on Maatta and get a 4th

I said i don't think we would get more than a 4th without salary coming back and i was right. We basically got rid of olli for a top 9 guy. Nowhere near the value people once thought.Just like we would have to retain on Maatta and get a 4th
Maybe that’s not unfair.... but at least it is cheap “vanilla”. Hence... let’s not make that out to be a problem before icing him cost us something meaningful. Moreover - Simon is one step from being a very decent middle 6’er. Maybe the smart move is trying to see if he can get there.
I found it odd, reading that thread, how people were acting like the Penguins acquired some major asset for Ollivander. This kahuna guy could be... just a guy. He’s not established, especially at the level the Penguins will need him to be for him to be a regular on a championship team.I said i don't think we would get more than a 4th without salary coming back and i was right.

That's been my call for over a year.

The real coup was dumping $3MM in cement. The Pens needed the cap space more than they needed another random forward.
You accuse others of cherry picking stats, while only repeating "1 goal in 33 games" over and over.
In nearly every advanced metric, everyone did better with Simon than without.
He didn't score goals, you're right. But he put his teammates in a better position to score, and even more so he kept the other team in a worse position to score.
If all we cared about it's whether a player can score goals, we should have kept Sprong.
Really, Simon is an anti-Sprong. Sprong could score goals but do nothing else well, and Simon does everything (at 5v5) well other than score goals.
