The Pens would consider this. I think they would ask you to replace Mikheyev with Hoglander or Raty with Lekkerimaki but I could see them "settling" for this offer.

The pens don't consider this if Mikheyev is involved.

bottom six winger being overpaid for two more seasons.

Then no deal Van management already got fleeced on Lindholm deal their starting to look like Benning all this for a rental

I think in this case they would try and sign guentzel long term and let lindholm walk

His numbers aren't that dissimilar to Malkin's. I think he is a middle 6 guy. Again, he would be salary and a guy who can fill in for the Pens. The main pieces would be the prospect and 1st. Would I prefer Hoglander, yes. But if they offered Lekkerimaki with Mikheyev and a 1st, the Pens would accept.

no, Mikheyev coming back would be negative for the team straight up.

He's played with Pettersson the past two seasons mostly and if not it was horvat

He'll be the same age as Jake next season.

Absolutely no.

Duhamine brings back at minimum a 4th. And from the way insiders have been talking about it he could bring back more.

How about Hoglander + Mikheyev + Lekkerimaki + 1st?

lmao, they're not doing that.

2025 1st, Hoglander and Pod (or Raty)

If i'm Dubas that's what i'm telling JR and saying not to call me back unless he is accepting that or has a better offer.

No? Why not? Guentzel might be the best rental to ever be traded at the deadline.
