<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mikescott22</b></div><div>I agree with a lot of what you have here. I might not be in the majority here but I am not a fan of bringing back Erod. A little because of his bonehead play in the playoffs but mainly due to how bad he fell off after his crazy start. Additionally I rather give a 3rd line wing spot to one of the rookies (Puustinen, Poulin, Nylander). I don't know how much more realistic it might be to pair that 2nd in that QO with Kap or Heinen for JP but either way he makes sense to target. I am in agreement that they should not play the draft safe and should take a chance on a boom or bust type prospect (ideally a center or dman) unless a high end winger falls to them. Really well thought out post</div></div>

I am assuming you are referring to the interference penalty he took as the “bonehead play”, but I don’t even think it was a penalty. It initially looks like he caught him up high, but once you see the replay he didn’t and Lindgren just got outmuscled and fell. The great one, 99 also agreed with this statement on TNT and said it was a bad call.

I feel like he could get a bit closer to his crazy start than he did in the second half if he played Center which is his natural position. I also think carter should be moved to wing so it is kind of a win win positional swap.

I don’t hate giving a third line wing spot to a rookie because it allows you to go big game hunting elsewhere.

Thanks!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mikescott22</b></div><div>I traded MP because he got absolutely bullied in front of the net and in the corners this season and brought Zad because he will bring a big physical presence that Burke will want especially come playoff time. I traded ZAR because I think he will want a bigger contract and I wanted to replace him with a cheaper bigger option in Zohorna who will hopefully add more offense than ZAR.</div></div>

Pettersson had the best shot and scoring chance suppression of any Pens d-man this season. Trading him would be a mistake. While there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to become more physical, you should be looking for players that bring value outside of their physicality, this is not the case with Zadorov.

ZAR even though he's a pending FA won't get too big of a contract. If I would guess, he wouldn't get more than 2.5M. While I found Zohorna as an interesting option, it is very unlikely he can provide the defensive value ZAR does
