I'm not telling you that he's an elite player. Not even close. But I see him as a middle-6 one that can eventually even play in first line when injuries happen. When we look at FA right now, there're thin options to sign. That's why I see him as the better one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>I think we're on the same page here. Dumba is very suspect at this point. I didn't think his offer was a big surprise at all. It's a prove it deal. Tatar is a bit different. He's more proven. Yes, I think $2-2.5M for him sounds about right. If he was good with $1M NY or NJ could handle that now. I think NJ would take him back at that price. He may be waiting for teams to finish up and clear space which will happen here very soon. Several others are in that same boat.</div></div>

Yeah, I think so. He's, by far, the best offensive option in FA right now and there're many teams that would like to have him. It's hard to predict where he will play, but of course I hope to see him playing in Pitt. We'll find out in few weeks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>InRodWeTrust</b></div><div>If Tatar can only manage $1M for 1 year that's very telling. Surely a dozen teams would have jumped on that already, yes?</div></div>

Maybe. But it's a different scenario at this point. Look at Dumba contract. Less than 4M. No one expected that in the beginning of FA. But, right now, most teams have much less cap space. If he want to get more money, he'll have to play for a non-contender. I don't think any contender will give him more than 2M or 2.5M at this point.

As I said, I won't doubt Dubas anymore after his magic in Karlsson's trade. And don't forget Tatar would play probably along Sid, until Guentzel come back. In a superstar team like that with Dubas as a GM, everything is on the table right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>I assume Tatar will get 1 year x 2m. But I do agree Pittsburgh is a perfect fit.</div></div>

I'm betting Karlsson acquisition will be and attractive to Tatar sign a bargain contract with Pens. There're rumors about it. After Karlsson magic trade, no one can doubt Dubas anymore.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SharkTank</b></div><div>No problem, man. I've always thought Tatar was underrated.</div></div>

Yes. He add score depth for the bottom six and that's exactly what Pens need right now.

It's a no brainer to me as well. Thanks for the feed.

Bryson doesn't make the top 6, Verbeek would play LaCombe over him. Honestly wouldn't take Bryson in the trade.

I don't see Anaheim moving Gibson until next off-season at the absolute earliest. We need to seriously reinforce the defense this season to give him a fighting chance at showing people he is still an elite goalie so long as he's not asked to make 50+ saves a night.

Gibson would also make a great mentor for Dostal.</div></div>

You have a very good point here. It's hard to discuss with a Ducks fan that knows his team much better than I do. Thanks for your feedback.

Gibson would be a great mentor to Levi. I'll keep my thoughts, anyway. But thanks for your feedback.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DailyKarlssonFantasyLandTrades</b></div><div>I think Sabres are excited about Levi. I don't think they make a goalie trade.</div></div>

He's just 21. To me, it's too early to bet on such young goalie. Gibson can be the answer for at least 2 or 3 years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BURGHgirl</b></div><div>Let me clarify....Sully will not play him as a RD because he is a left shot. He has stated that he will only put D on their off side if he has no other choice because it messes up coverage.</div></div>

I prefer Hanifin defensively playing on the right side than Karlsson. Karlsson is a one-way player. Marvelous offensively, but an average player, at best, defensively. And both are the Pens options right now. That's why I prefer a younger and all-around player like Hanifin, even playing on the right side.

I very well would be wrong tho but I heard that somewhere recently</div></div>

I think you're right. We haven't seen such conditionals recently. Thanks.
