Hey hey no! Back off Brendan Smith. That was my idea for a cheap add for the Wings

Pens quickly decline

Maybe if Grzelcyk grew 3" and 25 pounds maybe but TB doesn't do Smurf defensemen.

Takes a 1st and solid prospect at least for MP28

Sens accept any tarasenko trade that is along the framework of "Tarasenko at 50% retained for a 1st and without the Sens taking significant cap beyond this season in return". so yeah this fits

probably have to blow pens away for Petterson

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Tampa makes a serious push for Hanifin. Grzelcyk has regressed and he wouldn't bring back a 3rd especially without retention. Pittsburgh doesn't do it. A 1st for 2 months of Tarasenko is a waste of asset. Smith has been terrible this year.

Pens laugh at that one pretty hard. MP is a top pairing shutdown defenseman on a cheap deal. The regular AND fancy stats back up how great he is. It would take a 1st and top prospect. Not an AHL player, a cap dump, and two late picks. The only part of that trade that has any value is the 2nd. Which is washed by taking a cap dump back.

1st+Lenni or 1st+Bahl from NJD

Pretty close, seems to be a common likeably trade for both sides.

I think Pettersson is a fantastic fit for what jersey needs as a shutdown dman, PK guy, puck mover who’s already played 2 years on a pairing with John Marino so should have a smoother transition into jersey than most other acquisitions would.
