This makes them worse. And then you don't even have Puljujarvi in the lineup.

Wait... So you're trading a solid player that we don't have a replacement for who yes is slightly overpaid, for a guy who's WAY worse, signed for longer at just a mil lower... Is at a position where we have a ton of players... And the only difference is a 4th...?

Not counting what delusional Oiler fans who are sick of admitting that their draft picks are total busts think... Puljujarvi is barely AHL level. Why did you trade for him?

How many times doe Edmonton fans need to be told, GMJR already said hell no to the JP for Rust trade.
You would need to add a 2nd to get that done, and even then the penguins wouldn't do it as Rust is a good player that they will probably end up needing.
