Quoting: DNP1932
There’s not even a dump lmao, that’s just making the cap work id assume, not saying we should make that trade from a pens standpoint, but the package is actually pretty good for an underachieving, injury prone winger. But yeah the retention is a huge thing.
Yeah, I imagine Eller is in there for cap-balance; but, you're still talking a B6 F, which CBJ are already flush with, and doesn't add anything for CBJ. We'd probably just buy him out.
I know nothing about those prospects; but, I do know PIT's system is considered pretty weak, so can't say that really is a needle-mover.
The first is the get here, particularly if we are betting on PIT's decline to continue, and that '26 pick being top-half of the draft (or the '27 one being even higher). It's a better asset the more I think about it, but it's all based around a gamble.
