Wait, what happened to Marino?

Also, you aren't challenging for a Cup with McCann as your 2C.

Marino is traded to OTT for Watson, and McCann is still the 2c on this roster

I do think big changes are coming but this aint it chief

The Panthers trade is really, really bad for Pittsburgh. Edmonton doesn’t have any cap either. Try someone else.

whats wrong with this, they get way more physical and reload on early-round picks?

He has had a minor step back from last year but is still playing more minutes. Noting to warrent essentially dumping a 23 year old top 4 Dman.

It is just not realistic. Malkin and Marino are both worth way more that that. EDM does not have the cap space. There is no way to guarentee Hamilton signs and you cannot make those other moves without knowing that you sign him. How often does a team that has a strong dcore trade 3 to sign 4 free agents in one offseason?

The defense, 2nd line and 3rd line are all much worse than they are now and the return for weakening the team is to 1st round picks that are probaly 25th overall or later is a weak draft.

As long as Mario owns this team, Malkin, Letang and Sid are ALL untouchable. That's what Mario wants, our superstars stay here if they are drafted by us. So with that in mind half your trades are dead on arrival. Oleksiak is likely not happening as POJ is most likely going to be a full time NHLer next season. Pettersson is most likely going to Seattle in the expansion draft.

I mean, like what happened to Marino? Why trade him? Wasn't he like a beast last season?

Edmonton isnt making that trade.

He’s been a beast since getting MP back as a partner. The guy had a rough start to the season, which I said all along was more because of injuries and no training camp, but most thought last year was just a fluke and now he’s a whipping boy that needs dumped for scraps. The guy was paired with Matheson for a good portion of the season. That pairing didn’t work out. Matheson has been good but likely it’s because he has such a low standard vs Marino’s extremely high standard set from last year.
I’d say any Marino trade on here is simply a troll or doesn’t watch and just goes with what the trolls roll with.
