That must be a joke!

On which part?

Well, 2 first rounders, and hagelin who could be traded for a 2nd at deadline , for Patch and Byron, 2 ufa's who will demand a lot of money after this year. Maybe at the deadline last year, not now for sure.

Patch value is going down every day. Now the rumours he will not be at the golf tournament of the CH, Bergevin is in a tough spot

Didnt mention McCarron, didnt felt the need to.. he could be claimed on waivers

By the way, since this is a deadline deal, and assuming the Penguins send Jimmy Hayes down, they should have around $5 million in deadline cap space. No need to send out Hagelin or to retain $2 million in order to fit Pacioretty. No reason to swap Hagelin with Byron either.

Also, two firsts is insanely high considering how much rental wingers usually go for.

the two combined are much closer one first without hagelin than to 2 firsts plus hagelin

No way Hagelin gets a 2nd round pick at the deadline that's nut! Max's is worth the 1st rounder and Bryon, McCarron with salary retained and Hagelin dump is worth another 1st. Just think how good that team is going into the playoffs.

hagelin is a valuable piece, not a dump, if anything that means the pens should get picks BACK not give up picks.

So your saying pitts better with Hagelin then the 3 players montreal gives up?????

no, but the difference there is not worth more than one first round pick.

Plekanec landed a 2nd, Valiev and Rychel, so.. never know. whit salary retain he can land a late 2nd

Bryon has a more blocked shots. More hits more goals 20 and a shooting % of 17.3. Hagelin's shooting % 6.9. Only score 10 goals less hit less blocked shots.
Retain salary should get a low 1st rounder then right???
