I think PIT is getting too much value, though it's definitely a quantity package.

I have a gut feeling about this 3-team trade.
I don't know if it would work before Trade Deadline.

You aren’t getting that much from Vancouver unless we get the Boston package along with Guentzel

To be blunt, I think this is playing out where Lindholm will be available in free agency on July 1st if they do nothing and Boston’s inclusion is just to lock him down.

They probably are the best alternative for a FA center considering their talent level and their cap room.

I don’t believe you are getting Lysell and a first with that in mind. This is more an opportunistic play

That Guentzel trade is more realistic when you remove Lindholm

That's way too much for Guentzel. The whole point of the Canucks trading Lindholm is that they aren't trading a 1st++ for Guentzel. The Pens aren't getting multiple 1sts, Lysell, Podz, and Raty for him lmaoo

I honestly don't think BOS is comfortable with moving their high prospects. To make the cap work a roster player would have to go the other way.

boston isn't paying up to bail out vancouver.

My guess is it’s Lysell, Podz, and Raty. A top 75 prospect, a former top 10 pick, and a center who was viewed highly before his draft year. Maybe some extra prospects and secondary picks depending on whom the salary filler is and how much retention is needed.

That’s a steal for Vancouver.

Podkolzin has like no value to the penguins.

He's got 1 year left on waivers eligibility and he's clearly not playing at an NHL level right now.

You can stop adding him into trade, the penguins are never accepting that.

It’s also probably more than a team has secured for a deadline player in a while.

It’s mediocre. 3 players who are heading to bust or at best meh territory.

Lysell’s play at Providence this year isn’t pointing to that. He’s taken the turn of playing within a team game and has been very good since December. His production level at the AHL probably warrants a chance at the NHL level in Boston soon

I have not watched Abbotsford play this year, but i thought Raty looked interesting and Pods was listed around the top 75 even though he didn’t make it
