I wouldn't trade just Dahlin for that package!

Not the triple D's anyone outside of Pittsburgh wanted to see, I'm afraid.

Kessel would become easily the top scorer of the team, Maatta is a fair 2nd pair D and you get 2 pretty good C prospects as well as a !st.

Of what?

What is that Buffalo trade? Dahlin alone would command a better return.

1 year on a very bad team

Panthers not going to give you Trocheck plus 2 first rounders for Malkin......trade him elsewhere

You dont trade a top pairing D for a 33 year old winger who is a liability 5 on 5 and a guy who couldnt even play consistently on one of the worst D core's in the league. Pit fans must be downright *****ded if any one thinks that is a legitimate fair offer.

Maatta and Kessel were both very awful on a good team so their value is even lower. No one is taking them for top prospects Maatta was scratched for Jack Johnson of all dmen...

And the team they trade him to will send Playoff postcards to the Panthers.

Kessel was bogged down Geno. No more, no less. Maatta has been dogged since his arrival, he isn't bad at all, just not good for the PEN's system.

You didnt asnwer how they are worth a top pairing D. Maatta sucks and Kessel was a liability 5 on 5 even the previous season he was on the ice. 33 yearold wingers who are declining and slow Dman who suck at defending dont get you a top pairing Dman on an ELC that is only 19. That is also ignoring that Nylander is worth more than your entire prospect poolcombined

And the fact you thought this past years PENS were good, wow, not at all.

Talking of 2018

Rasmus is not a PROVEN TOP pair guy!!! He looked good for 1 friggin season. Nylander hasn't even played 20 NHL games much less the 60 or so points he has manged to score over 3 AHL seasons.

As in, this past years?

An old guy, an NHL average D, and two "pretty good" C prospects does not get you a generational defenseman!!

An old guy who would be the best player on the team, a 2nd pair D who just needs a new light and "2 or two not too" prospects that are better the Mittlestadt is probably ever gonna be would be a steal for a team that has been re-building since the mid 2000's all for a guy who has had 1,1,1,1 good season and is also one of if not the last consideration for most voters for ROY.

I believe you believe that...

Doesnt mean they trade them for over the hill bums. Geez I guess Hughes and Kakko should be traded for Bryan Rust since they are un proven see how much of a dumbass you look making that point?

This OP must be one of the most dense users ever on this site lmao. If dahlin isn’t good because he had only one good season then why are the Pens giving up sooo many “good” players for a unproven guy who might suck.

Op = clown
