I like the moves but if McCann gets that little it’s only for 1 year.

Habs aren't taking Tanev for 5 years

CAN NOT SEE MINNY TRADING FOR TWO CAP DUMPS.

Just not logical.
The Pens will not have to give up two of their best prospects to dump JJ and Bjugstad.

You said something like”there was one reason we traded for Zucker and that was to replace Guentzel”
False statement.
GMJR has wanted Jason Zucker for the past couple years(including when Guentzel was healthy and coming off a 40-goal year. He tried to trade Kessel for him last offseason.

Hall and pietrangelo are not options for the pens. Hall has had one good year and outside of that has been an injury prone 20-goal scorer. Pietrangelo is great but Letang and Marino are the top-2 RHD.

GMJR will not trade two players in Tanev and Zucker that he just acquired. They have both performed well, unlike Bjugstad, Hunwick, JJ, brassard, etc.

WE ARE NOT TRADING POULIN DUMMY.

I can't see Pietrangelo, at 30, and Hall, turning 29 at the beginning of the season, signing three-year deals.

If you consider Poulin, who turns 20 in February and has never played a game in the NHL, and Hallander, who turns 20 in the summer and has never played a professional game in North America, as collectively worth a first and a second (a very dubious proposition), then Minnesota (a semi-rebuilding team) is moving from the first round to the third round in 2022 in order to receive Bjugstad and Johnson. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me, and the entire exchange seems even worse.

VAN and PITT are not making that deal. Zucker is not a rental.
