Some good stuff. I'd keep bjugstad though. And think gusev will come in 1.5 sheets higher than that

I don’t want to get rid of Bjugstad but had to dump salary to get the, all in. Gusev I believe you can get for that price for a year to play with Malkin. then in 2020 you have 20 Million with only Alex G and Justin S. As UFA.

still have to sign Murray in 2020. He's gonna ask for at least $3.5mil/year more. But I like these moves. I think it gives the Pens a chance to look at some players without having to commit 6-8 years of bad contracts. make them earn those.

And just as a funny..... I signed Tanev in NHL '19 this off-season for like $1.8mil/year for 4 years. Not saying that EA is accurate on anything, but most agree that GMJR overpaid for him BIG time.
