You need to factor in cap considerations though. None of those assets has much salary going out except Sheary. Since we're a cap team that's a variable that needs to be considered.
Not without an extension in place. However if there was one, I'd be interested.

The Penguins don't just need an upgrade over Sheary, they need a physical and defensive top-6 winger. They desperately need a prime Kunitz type of player.

Pacioretty
E. Kane
JVR (Even though why would the Leafs trade someone who is helping their squad making the playoffs "OMG HE HAS 1 YEAR LEFT TRADE HIM FOR PICKS CAUSE THATS WOT WE NEED!")
Some pretty tasty players mhmmmmmmmmmm

I posted this in the Pacioretty thread. Habs would rather a C, so it would depend on other offers but:
RW Sprong
2018 1st rd pick
2019 2nd rd pick
~for~
LW Pacioretty
(small sweetener)

Hasn't Sprong been tearing up the CHL and AHL of late?
Why should the Pens trade Sprong? Why not try him out with the Malkin-Kessel line and see how he works out.
Also, the leafs would never trade JVR, he's scoring @ a 40 goal clip, and seems sustainable .... JVR is the only front of the net presence we have, albeit, he may not be good defensively --- he is a catalyst for the powerplay, and hey its looking like JVR might have a 40 goal season.

It's not bad value at all, but I don't think Pacioretty is the kind of winger the Penguins should target. They need a good fit for Malkin and Kessel, ideally someone who's fast, gritty and defensively responsible. I know Pacioretty is fast and defensively responsible, but he doesn't have the jam that line needs.
Dear Lord, thinking of a Sprong-Malkin-Kessel line trying to play defense makes me cry.

Sprong isnt producing 5v5 in the AHL. He snipes goals...on the powerplay. His defensive play is still bad and he is often out of position. He also turns the puck over in his own zone more than normal. He’s still a valuable prospect, but you don’t always have a chance for a three peat. But we aren’t trading Sprong to trade him. It must be for a clear and major upgrade on C or LW.
Don't need an upgrade over Sheary. The dude is a heavy whipping boy now. We have other glaring needs.
We should be saving out top picks instead of dealing them. Our first round pick this year will be much more valuable then years past.

I don't want Pacioretty. He's a good skater, good defensively and has an excellent shot, but he's way too soft. We should be focused on improving the bottom 6 depth not the top 6.
I'd consider Sheary for JVR if JVR's not asking for too much.

As Top 6 wingers available you have E. Kane, Patches, JVR, and possibly Patrick Maroon.
I think that the would probably target the Kane/Maroon type players because that's what they're missing.
Sprong/1st/Hagelin/2nd
Kane
Or possibly
Aston-Reese/Hagelin/2nd
Maroon

because they get a pick and a prospect instead of nothing if marron leaves. also, i'm pretty sure the team acquiring the rental is also acquiring the better player in the deal is fairly common in trades.

Wishful thinking. I'm sure the Pens would love to unload Hagelin's extra year while getting a good player for the cost of a measly 2nd round pick.

I think Boston could offer something similar if Buffalo took back a dump like Beleksey (which Hagelin is in this deal). So, I don't think its god awful at all.
