I don't get these Marino trade. I know there's been a ton of them on here, but even if Letang stays, Marino is then just one of 2 top 4 RD's that Pittsburgh has. Just seems silly to consider moving him, letting alone moving him out for very little value return.

You are probably right man. whats the cap for the pens look like next year if everyone returns? Id be willing to switch one of the seconds to floridas first.

Marino for Mittelstadt, 2nd, 2nd

Much like Bufflao has no interest, Pittsburgh also has no interest in Mittelstadt.

Pitt counter: Marino for 2023 1st (Buf), 2022 2nd (Buf)

Top 5 protected

Think they've got around $28 mil with 15 players signed...Malkin, Letang and Rust aren't going to be cheap, but if you're looking to shed contract, my first thought certainly wouldn't be Marino. 24 year old top 4 RD making $4.4 mil and signed long term? Should have a ton of value IMO.

If Toronto was offered that, they'd probably bite your hand off accepting.

A high round 3rd for Kerfoot is light, but bjork and a 3rd isn;t far off, and they get to throw in mrazek?

The PIT trade isn;t bad at all, but PIT probaby need marino more.

Nope. That is why I said next year's 1st as opposed to this year.

No sabres fan is dumb enough to give a potential lottery pick up in the best draft since 2015 for a top four dman. This team has set a record for missing the playoffs so I am not betting on them to change that next year lol

Good I think you overvalue bjork lol, and I agree they probably do

I agree with you but you are only looking from pitt perspective lol. If marino is untouchable that is fine but no one is calling on chad ruhwedal

Every Sabres 1st is going to be a lottery pick. If you put a top-5 restriction on the 1st then the Pens my never get the pick.

Protecting it for 2023 means it transfers to 2024 unprotected
