Pens deadline sell off AND offseason

We’re not paying more after an injury riddled season on a player that hasn’t fit there lol

Injury riddled? He missed a whole 5 games. Sounds pretty healthy by Vegas's standards.

lol **** that’s healthy in Vegas, still doesn’t negative the fact that his value has improved…

I actually think this is extremely similar to what will happen in terms of the approach. It sounds to me like we are going to be pretty all in with selling at this deadline, try and get maybe 2-3 players like Borque if we can, and then fully rebuild in like 2 years. I don't think we will be a contender next year though. I think it is more like the first stages of a rebuild and maybe hope something clicks and we go on a run, but not expecting that. It sounds to me though like the beginning stages of a rebuild, but we are taking it slower just in case something happens showing we can still contend.

Also I will add that these contracts are pretty reasonable. I think there's 0 chance a big name FA would sign a long term deal here and I don't think it would be smart for us either. Someone like Bertuzzi though for like 2 years makes sense.
