Pens Lose Lottery and Move Core Piece (WIP):
1. So it’s a sad day and the Pens don’t win the Alex L lottery. This leads to Pittsburgh picking 15th in the 2020 draft. To move up in the draft Pittsburgh trades pick 15 and Murray rights to Ottawa for No. 5 overall. At No. 5 overall Pittsburgh drafts Cole Perfetti (C)
2. Next Order of business is trading Jack Johnson. In this example I move JJ out to Detroit and prospect for 4th 2020 pick.
3. Next Order of business is the core player move of Kris Letang. This move will create a little more cap for the Pens and solidify the top two lines. In this move we will acquire William Nylander. After this move we will have solidified three lines:
a. Line 1: Zucker – Crosby – Nylander
b. Line 2: Jake – Malkin – Rust
c. Line 4: ZAR – Teddy – Tanev
4. Next step is to assess the DP post moves thus far:
a. DP 1: Dumo – Marino
b. DP 2: Pettersson – Ruhwedel
c. With only having two pairings the first move we make is bringing up POJ. He will be our 7th D man.
5. Our next move will be acquiring a top D man to replace Kris Letang. In this case we will sign Alex Pietrangelo for $7M x 5 years. After this move our DP will look like this:
a. DP 1: Dumo – Pietrangelo
b. DP 2: Marino – Pettersson
c. DP 3: Ruhwedel – X
d. Extra: POJ
6. Our next move is to address the goalie situation, in this case we will do the following two transactions:
a. Call Casey Desmith up from AHL to be Goalie No. 2
b. Resign Tristan Jarry to a $3.5M x 4 year deal as No. 1
7. For our extra two forwards I will do the following:
a. Call up Sam Poulin from AHL
b. Resign Lafferty to $850k x 2 years
8. For moving Nick Bjustad I have sent him to Calgary in exchange for Sam Bennett.
9. The forward move will come via free agency:
a. Finding a center for 3C, here I sign Haula for $3M x 3 years
10. The final move will be resigning Rikkola as D for $870k x 2 years.
Please note this is a work in progress and I will discuss with a message board I am on and change as things are discussed.
