Letang has more value.
gusev isn't necessary for this team.

MTL decline easily
Not paying a bottom six forward 3.5M

Samberg has really good potential, Tanger as much as I like him and how great he’s done for the team he’s old and often injured now’s the time to get rid of him

Gusev adds scoring we can use
Doesn’t hurt us in any way

Tanev Blueger Or ZAR Wil probably go in the expansion draft. I don’t think Blueger or ZAR will get that much. Blueger is about right. From 1.5-2M I would guess. For 4 years. 6M-8M total. And ZAR will be about the same, I’d say. Maybe less for ZAR. Typically, Centers get paid more.

And I hope the Marino number is alittle less too. 4M-4.25M for 5 years. 20M-21M total.

And I hope Jankowski plays well and the Pens resign him as a RFA. That would mean, we probably had a good season this year. And not resign Sceviour.

Next years FA class is loaded though. I’m sure some of them will be resigned or sign an extension though. But there is still gonna be a lot of Talented FA’s. Goalies will be thin though. Both Binnginton and Raask will probably get resigned.

And Letang is a FA after 21-22. Only 2 years left on his contract. If we trade him, it has to be for young players. And I wouldn’t want to take on any big contracts at all. I would rather get the 7.25M in cap space after the season. Trade him for acouple prospects that are close to NHL ready and a pick. And then get the cap space. Don’t take back any contracts.

Samberg is young, talented and basically NHL ready according to the Jets, And DeMelo’s just a dude you have for a year than trade when Maniscalo is ready

Once DeMelo is off the team after a year or 2 it’s basically Letang for Sandberg

Letang doesn't waive for Winnipeg and I doubt the Jets would make this trade anyway.

Ya, it’s not bad. IMO, I would like 2 prospects and a pick. Like a 2nd or a 3rd, depending on the prospects. But I think 1 of them should be a top 3 prospect in their system. And I don’t think that a high price at all. For a top RHD in the NHL. Still one of the top Points on the PP. still produces around .75 points a game. As a defender. And plays good defense too. He hits people and blocks shots. And great in the Locker room.

NHL network ranked him 7th, as the top defensemen in the league right now.

And he’s 33 man. Lol..Not ancient by any means. Even for a hockey player. You don’t start seeing a major decline until 35 plus.

Again, still a top 3 Defender right now on the Point of the PP(Weber,Krug, Letang). Sure Q.Hughes, Heiskanen, Makar, are gonna pass him soon. But right now, this year, Letang will our produce them. Yes, if he stays healthy. But that’s nothing new, he’s been injury prone his whole career. And still averages close to a PPG. And still kills it in the play-offs.

And letang was never super fast. A great skater. But never relied on his speed. He’s a great passer, great shot, good vision, good playmaker, great at using the boards. He’s the type of player that won’t decline super fast if he loses a step. He never counted on his speed. But yes, his injuries are always a concern. They have been his whole career.

you don't think it's gonna be Matheson?
I mean, if that contract doesn't get moved, how do we sign Marino? And who else is gonna take it?
