Graves has played very good next to Letang. I can see a team wanting him and if they think he is their missing piece, I could see a trade. His contract is a bit high for a 1st unless the Pens take salary back. My issue is that you've significantly weakened the defense.
The trade of Graves only makes sense for the Pens if Pickering is ready for the show and either POJ or Smith (or a similar prospect] makes a step forward.
I don't mind the 3rd pairing but you need depth and a better LHD on the 2nd pair.
