Montreal decline but it's close

This looks like satire.
Nothing coming from Montreal that the Pens would be remotely interested in, and the roster moves from within the Pens aren't even close to realistic.

Why not just buy Granlund out? The first year costs $833,333 against the cap (!) and each of the three following years is $1,833,333. So you'd still have your first, and with Guentzel coming off the books next summer, the first $1,833,333 installment would be swallowed up, and by the third and fourth years, the cap will have risen sufficiently to make those hits virtually painless.

Anderson is overpaid, particularly for a third-liner; one season of Edmundson stunts POJ's growth; Gurianov is dubious and Primeau even more so. I don't think that trade gives you very much for the future, and with one of the five worst prospect pools in the League, you need all the futures you can get.

What's with that Dumo contract?
