Florida has ZERO use for Spaling. They've got at least 7 guys on the wings that are better than him. They have no need for bottom 6 guys. Trading Sutter to get Semin is a gross overpayment. A swap for Scuderi, or Scuderi and a pick should be plenty for Semin. Not Sutter. There is recent talk of Greiss returning, but there is ZERO reason to give him a raise over last year. If anything, a paycut would be in order. I don't think they would bring Tikhonov in to be a 4th liner. He's better than that.

Semin has a 0 % Chance of coming to Pittsburgh solely because Crosby and Geno reportedly don't like him.

I don't want to speak for him or her, but it's doesn't matter the team. They could find someone to take Spaling for a pick.

Sutter for Semin is crazy, but it's Semin at 50% retained. That's significant. I wouldn't do it because I don't want anything to do with Semin, but you have to give teams something to eat that much salary.

No thanks to Greiss. He's fine as a backup, but he's not going to be good enough to fill in for Fleury if he gets hurt and the Pens need all the cap space they can get. It would be nice as a luxury, but the Pens can't afford that right now.
