I know like every Pens fan wants to flush Graves, but seriously, is there really any chance they toss Graves out willy nilly a year into his Pittsburgh time, for real life? Seems like a pipe dream.

it is a pipe dream they aren't moving him, especially not for that. Most people realize Graves is a good defenseman.

as far as the rest of this.
CBJ declines.
They won't move Jarry for nothing.
Nieto can be buried in the AHL.
Timmins adds nothing to the penguins so they aren't trading Acciari who's still a decent player for him.

seems like lateral moves trading graves, smith and others just to sign Monahan and Gryzlek

Avs decline.

For that price and term, I think you can probably beat Winnipeg's offer to Sean Monahan.
