<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Omg lol you dont like picks lol why dont you want a mid round pick lol. If its so valuable why not keep it then, pitt will be rebuilding soon, especially if theyre going to be a lotto team next year. The Sabres dont need a possible return 5 years from now for Hall they need results now</div></div>
What are you talking about a mid round pick? It’s a 1st in a deep draft and a 2nd lol. And with this trade, the pens are pretty much almost guaranteed to be a lotto team next year. Without this trade the pens are likely playoff contenders. Meaning it could become the number 1 OA with this trade. And I don’t know what you mean by me not wanting it? I’ve said from the start this trade is terrible for the pens and a gift to Buffalo. But anyone that thinks a possible 1 OA in a decent draft isn’t valuable is either stupid, trolling, or an extreme Homer. And a 1st rounder if it’s a lotto pick next year likely helps right away. Even if it’s a late 1st still likely helps in a year at the latest. You’re acting like it’s a 4th rounder the pens are giving the Sabres in this trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>Just my thoughts

Vegas doesn’t make that Pittsburgh trade. After the owners comments about Fluery retiring a Knight, and the season he’s having, they won’t retain half AND take money back. They would honestly rather save 500k and re-sign Dansk as backup then take DeSmiths contract back.

I honestly am starting to believe there is a better chance Lehner gets dealt in the offseason then MAF if they decide to move one.

I personally don’t think Martinez gets more money next year at 34 then he’s making now, especially at 4 years. My guess would be 2.5 or so for 2-3 years.

Not only do I think they won’t trade Smith, I think we see a short term extension with him.

I understand if they want a top notch C, they need to move some cap. But it may be a guy like McNabb, Reaves and/or Carrier.</div></div>

What money are the knights taking back in that deal? Lol. DeSmith is cheap af. The pens couldn’t do this trade if they even wanted to because unfortunately they have to abide by the cap 😫

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Millertime24</b></div><div>That seems fair. If they actually did get someone like Forsberg, Zucker would be the odd man out anyways. I still think Pettersson is being undervalued a bit by other teams. He's a young cost controlled Top 4 D-Man. The emergence of Joseph makes him expandable for the Pens if they want.</div></div>

They don’t really have to though. They would be trading MP at a loss tbh. Because even though Matheson is having a good year, he isn’t having a good enough one to quantify Seattle taking him over McCann, Tanev, ZAR, etc. so if they were to trade MP this year, they would basically be forced to protect Matheson or Riikola who Seattle won’t take regardless. Pens could get better value for MP or even Dumo if they want to go the younger and cheaper route in the offseason after the expansion draft when teams wouldn’t have to worry about protecting them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Bottom 6 was just easier to say when talking about both players (McCann + Bleuger) since he plays on the 3rd line, which is the bottom 6 of the forward group. I agree he's a middle 6 winger, but I wasn't taking a shot at McCann. I wouldn't get hung up on semantics -- the point was that he is replaceable if you trade for Forsberg.</div></div>

He is, However Blueger isn’t. And I would be willing to bet that if anyone of those forwards are exposed, including blueger, they would take them leaving the pens McCann. Which would be an issue for the pens and terrible asset management. Just like you guys trading Ekholm and getting MP in return. It makes no sense. If the trade included maybe Zucker instead of MP. Then you get a top 6 forward that’s less than Forsberg but get a good top 9 prospect, a 1st in a deeper draft, and another prospect that could be a decent 4th liner. Since you’d hope they just keep Forsberg and protect him anyway. You’d just protect Zucker to replace Forsberg and get a decent haul added to it. Then I think the pens would think about pulling the trigger and it might make a little more sense for Nashville too. Or they could just flip Zucker too and get more picks/prospects.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>But you would never leave one of the forwards you mentioned in your other post over McCann or Blueger in the first place. So I don't see how the expansion draft would even be a consideration for you if you're adding a player like Forsberg and then losing a McCann or Bleuger to the draft. Sure they're useful forwards to have in your bottom 6, but they are replaceable if you can get a player like Forsberg.</div></div>

The pens don’t have time to wait to build a new 3C. They would almost guarantee protect Blueger over Rust, Kapanen, or Zucker in that situation. And that’s just an absolute waste and terrible asset management to let one of Blueger, Rust, Kapanen, or Zucker go for free. The only reason McCann is expendable is because Poulin should be ready next year and the ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line is too good to get rid of. And I’d hardly call McCann a bottom 6. He is a middle 6 winger lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Who would you be protecting over those forwards other than Crosby/Malkin? That is 7 forwards right there, and PIT would be poised to go 7-3-1. I don't see the issue. Marino and POJ are exempt, so only Letang, Dumoulin, and another D would need protection.</div></div>
Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Zucker, Forsberg, Kapanen, Rust, Blueger, McCann, ZAR, Tanev are all protectable. Although, as the pens are now, I think it’s gonna be Crosby, Malkin, Zucker, Guentzel, Kapanen, Rust, and Blueger. I think they leave McCann exposed as bait to stay away from ZAR and Tanev (although I think his contract my do that itself). I know they would not want to expose Blueger because of lack of center depth and the year he has had. That buzzsaw line is insanely good and underrated.
