DId the pens Miss out

This trade is sick to my stomach.
Guentzel to Philly?
No thanks.
Penguins are not doing this trade with the Flyers.

No.

it can make you sick, and this is just a bare bones version of it as i didn't want to over complicate it.

But Look at the value of the prospect.

It's a legit question to ask. If they are going to move Jake, does the prospect not make sense?
Did they miss the boat on this one.

Look at the trade they made and the ones they were rumored to be in on. They offered him to MTL for the Reinvacher pick. They traded him for Drysdale.

Philly wasn't going to take a 29 year old for Cutter. They wanted youth.

Neither one of us know what was or was not offered. That is all speculation and a lot of it is clickbait.

You are also assuming they wouldn't flip him in a 3 way trade.

It could be what they wanted was defense, and say they are fine at forward.

I'm just point out that they might have been late for the party so to speak. As you can say they wouldn't take a 29 year old for Cutter, but there is a huge difference in the quality between Jake and what they actually got.
