Not saying that the Bruins trade is good, but I am surprised that is the trade you are getting skewered for. The Pens trade is abysmal. First, Zucker does not fit with Geno and won't get any time with Sid, so he has to be moved for cap reasons, but that doesn't mean that he is a cap dump. Second, the Pens are not moving any high draft picks or prospects unless they are blown away by the offer, neither Kassian or Turris are worth a 2nd alone. Third, Edmonton is stuck with that Kassian contract, just accept that. Fourth, why would the Pens have any interest in Turris at all? He is not good enough offensively to play anywhere near the top 6 and he is nowhere near strong enough defensively to play in the bottom 6.
You claim that you looked at the other teams before making your trades, but it is clearly obvious that you didn't consider the Pens needs/wants at all. The Pens do not need almost $5M in players that are basically useless to them.
