I'm not a fan of the Pens deal.
Norris is a huge gambe given his contract and injury history. It's not a risk I'm willing to take. Uniting the Joseph brothers is a feel-good story, but Matheiu isn't a significant improvement to our lackluster depth. Even with Smith's poor fit in Pittsburgh, he moves the needle more than Joseph.
Meanwhile, Ottawa gets some cap room, the better pick of the deal, Pittsburgh's best goalie - which fixes the team's biggest issue - and the better winger in the deal.
The only thing the Pens are getting out of this is the deck stacked against them.
