Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

No risk in picking up DSP, basically avoiding the ensuring fact that he would score a huge goal against PIT in the playoffs. He can play with Simon/Blueger/Cullen and he would probably play well with McCann.

Benning is serviceable and is basically Jack Johnson insurance. This would probably never happen since GMJR, Sully & Martin are such believers in JJ, but he would HAVE to be the odd man out when Maatta comes back and if Ruhwedel keeps playing consistently well. When Maatta comes back, Benning or Ruhwedel can sit. Always good to have extra depth on the backend, as we have seen what happens during a cup run to our dmen.

Kinda silly to trade Pearson, who can be a serviceable top9 player, for two players that may end up being strictly depth players, but it would give the Pens some cap relief over the off season and like I said above, could provide as JJ insurance.
