FIrst off, the penguins aren't retaining on Jarry. That's absurd. Edmonton can figure it out if they want him, otherwise he's going to wbs and most likely someone grabs him on waivers.
Second, why would the Penguins do this. Who cares what the Jets think. The only way the penguins are moving Schultz is if they don't make the playoffs and it's TDL. Period. They aren't going to kill their chance at the playoffs trading away a legit puck moving defense man while they are trying to win a cup. That's just fantasy land. Nothing against Niku I'm sure he'll develop into a fine player. But that doesn't help them now. And frankly, it is win now.
I don't see the return here being nearly worth it. Matter of fact, it it's TDL and they are not in, Schultz returns at the very least a 1st and good prospect. No sense in doing this at all.
As far as the Simon trade, they will want more for him. My guess is he gets packaged into a deal with JJ. Maybe Simon, Jarry and JJ go for some kind of a return of minimal value but cap savings.
