The problem with signing Scheifele and Nylander to 5 plus years at those numbers are you run out of money to pay KK97 and some of the younger talent even with the cap going up there are alot of ELC that will need new deals after 2-3 years and those add up pretty quick even if half of them don't get huge money for a second contract.

If the Pens were going to trade Puustinen I don't think it would be for a 32 YO 3rd pair at best RHD. As for the other trade I also don't think the Pens would load up and have all OFD on the Right side. While I liked Addison and hated to see him go as at the time he was the only prospect the Pens had that was close to NHL readiness I do not believe a reunion is likely while 58 and 65 are on the Pens.
