Sujet: Our biggest needs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensfan303</b></div><div>Cause hes on a dirt cheap contract and put up the same numbers as Gibson on a similar team, dude is a good goalie stuck on ARZ. Hes a much better target than Gibson and Helly (Going to cost way to much to get). Only other goalie id consider getting is Ulmark</div></div>

I don't dislike Vejmelka, but I wouldn't give up a 1st for him. A 2nd sure, but if he's going to cost a 1st would rather get a UFA. I think trade the 1st for fix the D. No matter what goalie is behind our D as constructed currently will fail. I'm all for moving on from Jarry, he's not reliable at all, but I'm sure his numbers were down in part because of how bad our D was. Cannot expect him to make saves when there's guys standing wide open right in front of our net. Get a good puck mover and a good, physical stay at home D that can protect the net. Then get a 1a 1b tandem of two solid goalies in FA and I think that makes us a playoff team.

I really like a few of the ideas, the NJ and Dallas ones especially, but I think it's a little unbalanced.

I don't think any of the UFA forwards are really going to be significant improvements to the forward core, especially at those cap hits. I can see the argument for Patches and Monahan if they're healthy, but the way they've trended recently, that's a pretty big if. IMO, the forward depth is the largest issue the Pens have to address and there isn't enough done about it here.
On the other hand, there's a lot of money locked up in the defense. Soucy-Petry is a super expensive bottom pairing. Some of the money in our D aquisitions could probably be moved towards the forwards.

IMO making more than one or two additions to the defense is a luxury, while several more additions to the forwards is a necessity. I won't say no to those luxuries if we can pull them off after we've dealt with our necessities, and getting Soucy and multiple goaltenders while retaining DeSmith are luxuries. A good irl example is the Rutta signing. Solid player that made the team better, but not something that needed to be done over other potential moves.

Sujet: What I would do to the Habs as a non-Habs fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tjk</b></div><div>Hi, as the description says I chose PIT out of whoever really. The trade is based on what I'm assuming his value is more than if it's the best fit.

As I said in the description this would be one of the worst-case scenarios for PIT, they lose out on Jarry and other big-name FAs.

"Laughs and hangs up the phone" is rude and kind of condescending... maybe in replying to people you could elaborate on why deals are bad in your opinion then essentially calling them an idiot lol</div></div>

The Pens would not be interested in a bad veteran goalie.

You also overvalued him. In the last 3 years he has a collective -0.25 WAR. For a goalie owed nearly 4MM for the next 2 years, he has no value. He probably has negative value.
