except they do care about age, like all the time? Petry isn't criminally underrated, he's rated as exactly what he is. Good, old, overpaid. Thats why Pit is moving him. If he wasn't two of those three things, he'd be a non starter in 95% of these armchair teams.

DeMelo certainly isn't undervalued by WPG. He's a top pairing Dman with Morrissey and is worth more to WPG than a draft pick. WPG will likely only trade him in a rebuild scenario or to make room for a better RHD coming in, as they have zero NHL-ready RHDs in their pipeline right now.

Caps pass.

Yea that's a hard no.

A "dream offseason" for Penguins looks like a nightmare offseason for the other teams taking back the Pittsburgh rejects and cap dumps being suggested.....

There must be a contest underway between Penguins (Petry), Leafs (Brodie) and Flames (Tanev) fans to see how many times they can each propose the same cap dumps on the Sabres.

I wouldn't want to move Petry if we didn't have 3 other pure OFDs

That's fair... but it's looking extremely likely like it's gonna be a complete rebuild situation in WPG

Agreed, I would never do that as WSH, but I've seen numerous trades where that's a 1 for 1 or maybe a 5th going with Granlund!

I would welcome a rebuild! Unfortunately, Friedman reported during one of the SCF games that WPG was adamant about retooling and not rebuilding.

Well all 3 of those guys are top 4 guys... and I would love if the pens got Brodie or Tanev, they're both very good DFDs still (Petry is much more of an OFD, and I wouldn't want to move him if he was a DFD, or we didn't have 3 other OFDs)

I don't remember that, I'm just going off the Helle wants out, and PLD wants out rumors

(And I agree, I would want a rebuild, tho I don't rly trust current management to move most of the guys)

Honestly give me Tanev.

This Petry thing though has got to stop. "Criminally underrated", but we'll take a 4th round pick.

Yeah, he's underrated bc ppl are trading like a first round pick to move him, and the only reason I even want to trade him is bc we have POJ, Smith, and Letang who are all pure OFDs

So, with so many offensive defensemen, why not pitch trading one of them instead of Petry?

The ol' lipstick on a pig strategy, trying to hype a player that an ACGM is desperate to be rid of....

Letang is better, and POJ and Smith are the 2 young guys on the team, I'd be fine with trading either or the latter two as well if we could get a good return and find a 2LD that is good defensively to play with Petry

How about trading Pettersson and keeping Petry? That'd make more sense for Buffalo......

MP is the best defender on the team and the last d man I would trade
