Pretty reasonable on all fronts. Good terms and AAVs, good trade values. I do question Letang though, now that Rust has confirmed been signed and its clear he took a paycut, and with what we already know about Geno wanting to take a pay cut, I wonder if Letang wont take less now too. Kinda a trickle down effect when you see all your teammates taking less. Im not saying he'll take less than his previous 7.25 AAV, I think its clear he wants to make more, but I have a feeling if the Pens offered im 7.75 to 8.0 flat for the term he wants, he'd take it.
I also saw a report that he's asking for 8+ on the open market but 7.5-8.0 from the Pens.
Overall though, even for the AAVs you picked, I think this is a very realistic team. I peg Geno at between 6.5 and 6.75 so your AAV is almost perfect IMO. I honestly dont know if Nichuskin is worth that money for that term. I'd like to think if we're locking him up for 7 years we'd be able to get him for a bit less, but honestly after last season he had its definitely realistic.
If we walked into next season with this roster I'd be very happy. Between DOC, Zohorna, Nylander, and Poulin, you'd need to find 1/4 of those guys to play at a 3rd line caliber, which is doable. We already know 2/4 of them can play that other spot on the 4th line.
Good roster.
