Sujet: Trying to Make a Guentzel Trade based on the style of Elias Lindholm Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>That’s a lot more than Vancouver gave up for Lindholm.</div></div>

How so?

Raty is the Canucks' 4th best prospect on Scott Wheeler's recent list. Brzustewicz is Calgary's 5th best in a pool Wheeler ranked a couple spots higher than Vancouver's. So I'm willing to say that they're fairly close in value as prospects.
Mynio is probably a little better of a prospect than Jurmo.
Kuzmenko and Mikheyev have pretty comprable statlines this year. I think Kuzmenko's great '22-'23 would make him a bit more valueable, GMs can look at that as something they could get from him. Mikheyev doesn't have a season like that.

Both are a package of a middle 6 winger, B/B+ prospect, C prospect, 1st, and 4th.

Sujet: Thoughts on Summer - Please Read Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>DeBrusk and Bertuzzi were definitely my main "down year" candidates here.

Boeser is definitely a very very long shot (and unlikely) but my thought process is that there will be teams again even with the cap moving up that have to move a contract.

Personally i'd make someone like Mangiapane a priority after Jake (and if Dubas can move Rakell, I think Smith goes at the deadline).</div></div>

I wouldn't be surprised if Smith goes, but Rakell's term makes him a tougher sell IMO.

Boeser is probably pretty squarely off the table. But the 3rd line of Joshua-Blueger-Garland has been exceptional and I can see one of them being a cap casualty before Brock. (Ok, maybe I just miss Blueger a little.)

One down year candidate I seriously considered was Victor Olofsson. I'm not sure why he's been forced into a 4th line role this year, but his game has suffered for it. I'm absolutely down to give him 2nd or 3rd line minutes on a prove it contract given his scoring history.

Sujet: Depth or Guentzel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>He was very immature in PIT and frankly burned every bridge here.
He was a moody little kid who thought he was the next best thing to sliced bread, When he got the the NHL level and got his "chance" as limited as you say it was, is because he was back checked to the ice constantly and shoved all over the ice.
Maybe, big maybe too since people don't change, being bounced around from team to team has humbled him. But there is no place for him here. Period. He will never play here again. He burned those bridges and when he was told to put up or shut up, he bombed out. Don't blame that on the staff or his opportunity or whatever. They tried to work with him, tell him he wasn't ready, and prepare him for the next level. He didn't want to listen.</div></div>

I think this is an unreasonable amount of vitriol against the guy for what amounted to like half a season's worth of games as a Penguin 6 or 7 years ago. The teenager playing in the highest tier hockey league in the world needed to mature a little? Color me surprised.
"People don't change", "No place for him here", do you hear yourself? I genuinely have no idea how anyone can be that pessimistic over this.

Sujet: Jake Trade That I Would Not Hate
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KVR</b></div><div>That is the equivalent of 3 first round picks and our number 2 Right shot D man for 20 games of Guentzel. Hard pass from this Oiler fan. It creates more holes than it fills.

I would do a 1st, Broberg and one of (A second rounder, Raph Lavoie or Carter Savoie). The second prospect/pick would be included for the Pens to retain salary.

Anything more than that and I would look elsewhere if I were the Oilers.</div></div>

I wouldn't consider either Broberg or Holloway to have 1st round pick value right now. They were drafted 5 and 4 drafts ago respectively. Broberg still hasn't earned a permanent spot in the NHL, and Holloway hasn't produced very well. Maybe one or both are in need of a change of scenery, but I doubt either of them are going to reach their ceilings. Broberg especially.
Neither look like good bets to have 1st rounder upside at the point they're at.
