pens pass

Not a big mikko fan huh

If the pens ever traded Crosby they'd want a bunch of pick and prospects for a very long rebuild.

He's great and all, but this package is so out of balance it's not even funny. We're taking Mikko and a cap-dump, retaining on Jarry for five years and giving you our best forwards with more retention?

Gonna pretty much take your 1sts over the next five years to start lol

Sid's deal starts with 4 1st rounders... you want us to retain on him? add another. Throw in Jake for Mikko, ok. Jarry, for Johansen, plus ok... then add more for retention.

To get Sid, Jarry, and Jake would require offers like the Pens got for the #1 in 1984 or deals like Lindros to Phili... Multiple 1sts and top prospects going the other way that would basically set a team for the next decade... and in the salary cap era, retention would cost just as much.

I like your creativity. and this would be a very powerful Avs team, but you just can't afford it.

He's also having us retain on Sid for this year and next, retain on Jarry for the rest of his contract which if four more years past this one, and take a cap-dump on Ryjo. That alone would cost a few first round picks.

Straight clown trade

Here's the counter....

Pens' receive: Makar, Byram, Ryjo, your next five first round picks, Calum Ritchie and Mikhail Gulyayev

nothing there sells tickets for the Pens.

Your crazy, the post was for fun but 4 first for a 38 year old cid is wild

LOL Yeah, I'm the crazy one.

You're having us:
Retain $2M for five years on Jarry
Retain $4M for this year and next on Sid
Take on a cap dump in Ryjo for $4M this season and next.

That's $10M in unwanted cap space for two years. Then $2m for a few years after that? That alone is worth at least three 1st round picks.
