I really like the petey trade for pit. they now have the cap space to make additions to their d-core

Hextall already said he wants to do a hockey trade and not dump him for picks which means hes not trying to get rid of cap. Next year we have over 32 million in cap. Malkin gets less, Letang gets less, and Zucker is likely traded at deadlines. And pettersson could be traded at the draft. That over 40 million in cap space now. We could sign Barkov, MAF, Trockek, Letang, Maroon, trade for and sign Olofsson, sign POJ, Kapanen, a 3rd line RW, and then we have one of the best looking teams in the league. If pens still wanna contend next year, we can make this team a whole lot better

Check this ACGM I made

barkov isnt signing w the pens lmao

Josh Brown is a solid dman who is RHD and big/physical, what the pens lack. He is 27 years old.

Hextall gets a 3rd round pick to help rebuild the prospect pool.

Holden is a solid veteran dman which can let Marino play his offensive game.

I'm not saying this trade is bad. I'm saying that maybe we should just let this year pan out. Next year is a way better FA class and alot of guys are expiring that will want less money. If we want to go for the cyp next year is the year. We let this year pan out and dont do any moves except maybe trade Zucker. Pettersson could bounce back and we could trade him at the draft. We would have so much cap space next year if we did it this way

No duh, the description said it was just for fun lmao

Other teams are getting better, and we havent done much. But with all the cap space, we could contend for the next 3 years if Crosby stays where he is.

I mean he could

the panthers reportedly already are working on a extentsion and I dont see why he would want to leave florida

It's possible, anythingnis possible. McDavid could get traded, it's possible

in that case, crosby trade to the leafs!

Yup, could happen, again its possible

Sucks that Pettersson isn't a RD because it's the type of deal I'd be looking to make
