shocking to no one, jeff carter declines. (plus no one wants him even at 50%)
Kings would need to move cap somehow, whether that's a player to the penguins, or a 3rd team they have basically no cap space. Even then they'd probably need a 3rd team to retain 1.5M on Jake.
The penguins are going to possibly be in a huge bind IF they become sellers this season.
Only 5 teams have $3M+ in cap space at the moment (CBJ, NSH, BUF, ANA, CHI) and I can't see any of them being buyers at the deadline on rentals.
If the pens sell they're going to need buyers in a playoff hunt to have significant cap on LTIR.
Jake, Pettersson and Ned will be your big three, any depth guy on final year as mentioned.
It's almost impossible to speculate on anything at this point with how tight most the divisions are and with how little cap space teams have.
