We dont need and we dont want Chiasson. This thing need to stop.

To be fair habs fans are consistently wanting him in air chair teams. Big body very useful on pp.

The only issue I have with this is Anderson trade while I like it does create a depth issue in bringing jp back which I would want to see before making a move like this. Overall looks fairly good.

Im an Habs fan and I wouldnt mind having him, especially over Weal

Bjugstad for Russell

Penguins accept.

I'm not sure why Edmonton is adding to the CBJ deal? Anderson sustained a serious shoulder injury and we don't even know if he'll ever play at the same level again. Nobody is going to sign him to a 4-year contract in this scenario either, unless it's for very cheap - and $3.5M isn't cheap.

Russell is terrible. We don't need another overpriced bottom pairing defender. I'd rather just keep Bjugstad in the hopes that he can get healthy.

No. No they don't

Yes, yes they would.

While Bjugstad is better than Russell, he is still a bit of a question, and Sullivan bounced Bjugstad around not knowing what to do with him anyway.

The big thing with this is salary. Bjugstad is $5.2M while Russell is $2.5M. When neither player really matters for you on the ice, you look at other things. This saves the Penguins $2.7M
