Option A - 2021 PITTSBURGH PENGUINS - Now to TDL - Get a 3rd Line

- If we are to move MP, Pens need to go get a LHD replacement 1st that is a more Physical / Net Front mover type.
- Always liked Carrier who plays like Tanev but has a more physical side too.

- Obviously a Cap move for VGK to gain $1.75m of Cap Space.

* Vilardi has been a favorite of mine & is over his injury problems. GV has a great shot but isn't the biggest or is he the best skater, just a very smart player (like Guentzel) w/ a high Hockey IQ.
This would be a perfect target for Pens :
- Young 3C / RW w/ "maybe" 2C Upside
- Can help Now & for Future
- Exempt from Expansion Draft

~ MacDermid - Is the AR15 Gun for The Gun Fight, Burkie was talking about.

- I would have never thought to Trade MP after last year but w/ all of our D-men & rise of POJ, MP has the best value to trade.
#28 struggled after an injury earlier in year but since last month is back to being #1 or #2 in every analytical stat in our D.
- Lafferty is a fast AF, young bottom 6 RW, signed thru next year, & cheap.
- Clang is our 3rd Rnd Goalie & was just named Goalie of yr in his league.

- Pens get a better #3 Goalie w/ some NHL experience that fell out of favor in FLA in Monty & a depth RHD.

- [FLA] gets their vet RWer back w/ all the injuries there & gets a better than ranked former 2nd Rdr in LW- Bjorkqvist.

- Pens fix the Zucker Trade & get the younger type winger they should have targeted in the 1st place. Also pick up an older prospect I loved at B.C. & has proved he can play in Pro game w/ 6G & 10P in 12 games in AHL.

- Even tho Zucker hasn't worked in PIT, he is still a great player & could see him blowing up in CAR in a Top 6 Role.

- I would give Gusev every chance to turn around his play here. He obviously has the talent, just needs to put it together. Its a no lose option w/ all the Depth we have.
