Pens decline. DOC has done great with PIT this year

Boeser playing with Zegras makes me feel type of way but not 100% sure how I feel about this trade

Take Poolman out, and there's really no reason to include Kessboss. Jones+1st+2nd would be fine.

100%

Pens decline this very fast, plus a 2nd is just too much for either piece. Motte is interesting because of his physicality, but still, that's way too much. Plus, Motte is a 4th liner who can never stay healthy.

There's absolutely no advantage to Vancouver picking up the last shreds of Kesler's contract, or our having Tucker Poolman. As my friend and esteemed colleague @Lenny7 says with his usual accuracy, Jones plus the first and the second are fine with us. We have an extra LD/LD prospect to add if something is needed to close the deal.

VAN only considers moving Boeser if they get a top 4 RHD

Pens say no. O’Connor isn’t going anywhere unless it’s a package for a high end player.

If JR wants another go with Kapanen or Zucker, we can talk.
