I think we are better off keeping our picks/prospects and Maatta rather than 4 months of Panarin, but I do daydream of him and Geno passing it back and forth for 60 minutes while the other teams chase them...

We would have to move around 5m (johnson + rust) (hornqvist) in contracts just to have to space to sign panarin long term, trading matta kinda makes defence worse, all in all i would say trading for panarin is worth it but wed probably have to give cbj more to get him

Looking at this lineup I'm trying to imagine how any team could deal with those 2 top lines! I think it'd be unstoppable, and worth it even if its just a rental. I love this deal as the Penguins realistically probably have 2-3 years left of Stanley Cup contention so might as well go for it while the window is still open. CBJ probably will ask for another future pick though, but if its another 3rd I'd think it'd still be worth it.
