No way pens do any of these trades. They aren’t trading Gudbranson or JJ. Why pay to get rid of them when you can expose them to Seattle expansion and hope Seattle just takes one. If not they will be much easier to trade next year (Gudbranson at least will be easy to retain on and trade 1 year of services at 2 million and get decent quality back). Jack Johnson you can just bury and keep for d depth. That 1.025 million in cap space there rather than paying to rid themselves of him.
They can get way more for Schultz. He is a pending UFA right shot top 4 D and you’re trading him for pennies like he is a dime a dozen D. Teams overpay massively at the trade deadline for guys like Schultz. If pens only get a 3rd for Schultz, wpg best be taking JJ and Gudbranson with zero retention with him at least.
Trading 2 firsts + Rust + Bjorkqvist for Zucker and Dumba just cause they are taking JJ? No way. Not in such a deep draft. Unless the pens are a for sure playoff team, no way I do this.
Especially if we play Zucker on his off wing where he is brutal.
