Pretty clear Pens are going for it for one more year. Burke and Hextall are clear in what they want to do with this team.

A Bennett trade seems very likely. His value isn`t high. A 2nd plus an Alberta guy who plays RW could get it done. If a prospect or another player like Riikola is required then so be it but I don`t think it`s off by much.

MP for TD. TD is the superior player. Burke has said the only way to trade for him is if you trust the leadership group to take him in and force him to play into a strong culture. Sidney Crosby and the Penguins are the people to do that. If they retain I would do this trade. I would probably do it without retention but the Pens are the ones with leverage. Make it happen. Pair him with Dumo to keep him in line and allow him to flourish offensively.

I don`t know if there is anything true about the Gibson rumors but if there is something there then go for it. Some of the trades on here for a 1st, Guentzel, Marino + are ridiculous. Yes, he is a great goalie but the trade value for goalies are not high. Letang, becomes their best player. Jarry is still a really good young goalie and we throw in a pick on top of it all. Also take back a contract in Backes who won`t crack a full healthy lineup. *IF* the Ducks are entertaining a trade for Gibson then I think this is more what it would look like. Also for anyone saying Letang does not have value then don`t both commenting. He is still an elite defenceman and will remain so for many years.
