Ottawa isn't trading Tkachuk, unless he asks for a trade.

Winnipeg doesn't have the cap space to pay their 2LHD $8.0 mil.

Yeah, I was thinking Jets lose a lot of cap flexibility trading for two players and trading away four at the same cap. Schmidt has just one more year till his cap is gone.

So the pens take ALL of the risk here?
Karlsson is still a top pairing d. only signed for a few years.
Jarry is still a high end starting goalie on a fair contract.
Kori is a cap dump. Bran is a third pairing d. and Norris is already on his third shoulder injury to the same shoulder and signed for nearly another decade at a high cap hit.
I can't see any reason whatsoever for the pens to take this deal.

O(TT declines both trade
