Hamonic is a cap dump at this point, and you want a first?

it wont be Schneider.

Generous offer, but the Pens aren't moving Marino.

So the ducks have no cap concerns so no way they pay a 1st to move henrique. Maybe one of those prospects from the rangers probably not both though. I hate the pitts trade. Keep hogs trade boeser if you really think you need to.

You are probably right, would settle for Lundkvist

I disagree, I think they do have cap problems, need to resign Lindholm, Manson potentially, Zegras, Troy Terry and Milano are needing new contracts soon and are good to

Theyre what 11 million under the cap right now. Plus henrique can be bought out for less than 2 million on the cap a season. His contract isnt worrying anyone enough to eat that 1st.

If you decline that offer then there really is no way Marino is moving.

Even Trouba knows that Schneider is planned as his replacement in 2 or 3 years when his NMC expires. Rangers are not trading Schnieder, but don't tell that to Vancouver or Habs fans, because they have raging hard ons for him.

Henrique deal makes zero sense. Also you clearly have not watched him play. He's not a cap dump. Positive value. And that's if the ducks wanted to move him. Which I would be surprised if they did. Here's an idea- keep the hardworking two-way forward that is still productive around for the young players. Wild thought.

I'd definitely move him for that return.

It's a great deal, like I said, but if you move Marino the next best RHD for the Pens is now Ruhwedel. How do you remedy that? And I mean in a realistic manner, not the CF "They'll figure it out" manner. Who's available and how do you get them?

Pens resign Letang and sign Klingberg in the offseason?

Considering this is an offseason move you have free agency open. There are plenty of decent 2nd pair RD options on the market and I think Boeser/Hoglander make a significantly larger impact than Marino/Zucker moving forward.

Not to be a diack, but have you actually looked at this UFA RHD crop? It's not great by any means. It's deep-ish in quality LHD's, but very thin when it comes to RHDs.
