Pens have 3 veteran RD signed through the next two years after this. They won't do this.

ARZ says no

Offer needs to be far better than this, For Jakob Chychrun. You're not even close.

CHI would probably take this for Lafferty, and tbh they'd eat DeMelo's contract too if the price was right so maybe a separate deal isn't necessary.

Lol big run at Jacob 🤣. They won’t be taking that tbh. Ville has a lot of upside but they’ll be looking at one of our trio of forward prospects

Lol Demelo’s actually be one of our better D man 🤣. He’s got like a 71 % war. People sleeping on him. He’d fetch at least a 2nd on the open market so thinking he’s a cap dump is idiocy

Actually, the Pens have FIVE RHDs signed at least through next season.

I like DeMelo and the value is fine, but there's no space for him on the roster.

A 2nd for Lafferty is a strong offer, but the Hawks aren't waiting 3 drafts for their payoff. Hawks probably decline

replace gus with Rutger or Chaz and i could see it

On the flip side, Demelo is worth way more than this and is very important to the jets. He might not be a typical top 4 guy, but he fits beside top players so smoothly. Morrisey is having a Norris caliber year and Demelo has been beside him pretty much the whole time (outside of PP and PK)

What is his value? I know Freidman said the yotes wanted 2 firsts and a prospect for him back in November. That price probably hasn't dropped and will most likely increase with a bidding war.
I would love to see him on the jets but might be a little too rich
