Pre-Deadline Moves with NJD

Équipe: 2018-19 Penguins de Pittsburgh

Date de création initiale: 15 janv. 2019

Publié: 15 janv. 2019

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Similar situation trade between Shero & GMJR. Johansson & Brassard both on expiring contracts get a different start on a new team.

Pros for PIT:
- Johansson was a great player in WSH and performed in the playoffs. He is flexible and can play on the wing or at center.
- Boyle is a character player who can still put the puck in the net. Big body who isn't afraid to let his physicality show and can grind down opposing bottom 6 players.

Cons for PIT:
-Probably unable to resign Johansson and Boyle after this season.
- Both can be prone to injuries.

Pros for NJD:
- Potential to sign Brassard in offseason if he can find his groove over there.
- Tristan Jarry is a stud that can take over the starter role in the next few seasons. Was 2nd round pick under Shero a few years back.
- First Round Pick!!

If New Jersey is out of the playoff picture, they should be able to absolve salary for the rest of this year, since both contracts are expiring. Penguins are forking over a lot for possibly two rentals, but for what it's worth I think the package is fair.

Oleksiak to Colorado can be varying. Not 100% certain they would be in on Oleksiak, but I know that there is a team out there looking for a big LD that can shoot and has Jamie's reach.

Let me know what y'all think!
