Quoting: ChampEddy
Awful for Pens....
For the reason they would need to protect Namestikov in the expansion draft and Letang, Dumoulin, Pettersson will be protected and Marino exempt.
Namestiknov is another player The Pens would need to choice between keeping(McCann, Tanev, Blueger, ZAR already).
Besides that I think Ryan is a good rental and still affordable when Zucker comes back off IR.
Namestikov is a good affordable player for this year and next year.
Pettersson is expendable with Dumoulin, PO Joseph, Matheson(playing really well), and Riikola. Not saying we should just give away a top 4, 24 year old, LHD.
Hopefully Ryan would like PGH, cup chase, and re-sign on another cheap 1-2 year deal.
