<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>I know who Filip Lindberg is which is why I feel comfortable calling him a no-name prospect lol. He’s at best your 3rd best goalie prospect, which is saying something because the Pens prospect pool is famously devoid of talent and depth, and is 23 with exactly 7 pro games under his belt as an undersized goalie. He’s an AHL backup that might top out as a #3 in a few years if you’re lucky. He’s not relevant. You could’ve at least put in Blomqvist.

If the Flames do end up needing to trade Mangiapane, every other NHL team will beat this offer in a heartbeat. Which isn’t difficult because you didn’t even include a 1st. I don’t think the Pens have really anything of interest, <strong>but this year’s and next year’s 1st + Blomqvist + Kapanen</strong> might be close enough that it wouldn’t simply be immediately dismissed.</div></div>

Just so you know that at the $5.5M that Mang is signing in this situation the compensation if it was an offer sheet would only be 1 first and a 3rd. Yet you think the bolded would be fair? For an RFA? Really? Sure Kappy is not worth a 1st, but Kappy plus a 2nd could be. Poulin was a first round pick 3 years ago, so that's essentially 2 firsts already plus Lindberg and another 2nd. So if you think Mang is going to get 2 1sts, a 2nd and a "B+" level goalie prospect, I think you are going to be very dissapointed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>You think he would automatically veto the Canadian teams? Especially considering how good 3 of them were last year? I would be very happy if that's the case</div></div>

From what I have seen with Zucker is that it's not exactly about whether or not he is going to a good team. He is more focused on his family (which includes his step children). It's the step children that create the biggest issue because their father has visitation rights. I just figured that if this is a concern of his, he would be less likely to want to spend half the season in Canada. I guess Toronto and Montreal are both relatively close to Minnesota, but Toronto have zero cap space for Zucker and Montreal is definitely on his no trade list.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>I don’t think we resign all of the forwards you have signed. I think instead we let Puustinen and/or Poulin break into the lineup to save some cap space. This would allow us to pay a legit solid second line winger. I also think POJ makes the team over Friedman. MAF would also take a bit less which could go to *insert second line winger from FA*. It would look something like this.

Guentzel-Crosby-rust
*insert second line winger from FA*-Malkin-Rakell
Zucker-Carter-Heinen/Erod(one stays one walks)
Poulin/Puustinen-Blueger-Mcginn

Dumo-Tanger
Math-Marino
POJ-Chad

Or you dump zucker to whoever will take him and whoever isn’t against his NMC and keep both Heinen and Erod. This is what you would have to do if one of Malkin, Letang, or flower want more than expected OR you wanted to make an even bigger splash on *insert second line winger from FA*</div></div>

I totally don't expect Rakell, ERod, Heinen and Kappy to all take discounts to stay on the team. I just really hope that Rakell does. I also hope Kappy does because the skills are there and can hopefully be tapped into on an affordable contract. As for ERod and Heinen, I would prefer to have someone like Domi in the mix then either of these guys, but we know that for stretches these two can fit on any of the four lines. I do think some of the younger guys should get a shot at making the team, but I don't think Poulin or Puustinen should be making the team over DOC or Zahorna. However, I can see Halander or Bjorkqvist being ahead of them as well because they have some PK experience. I would really like to see Angello given more of a shot simply because he is one of the few players that the Pens have with size that can actually skate.

I put Friedman ahead of POJ simply for the fact that the team seems to have him higher than POJ currently.

As for MAF, he is an interesting case. I can see a team like Edmonton willing to give him $3.5-4M a year as their 1A goalie. I could see numerous teams willing to go up to about $3-3.5M for him to be a 1B/ strong back-up. I think MAF would be more than willing to leave a little money on the table to rejoin the Pens, but I went with $2.9 for the same reason I went with $7.1M for Geno. Sid is a brother to these guys and Geno and MAF love to rib him. Them taking 7.1 and 2.9 would be "hilarious" to them. It's just almost too perfect to not happen.

I agree that it might not be ideal, but unless Hextall is released in the next few days, he doesn't have much options. The current management like Zucker, sure they wish he was cheaper and/or produced more, but he just had brutal injury luck this year. Because of those factors no team is going to touch Zucker, plus the Pens will feel bad and not shop him anyways.

As for this being the same team but older...yeah but no. This wouldn't be Carter playing 2C and sometimes 1C for half a year with ERod playing in the top 6 most of the year. This is with an actually reliable back up goalie/1B. This is keeping Sid happy by keeping Geno (healthy this time, hopefully longer than usual) and Letang around. This isn't replacing Kappy with DOC, it's replacing him with Rakell. This is replacing the corpse of Boyle with currently DOC, but it could be Zahorna or Angello or Puusenen (or however it's spelled) or Bellerive or Legare or several other guys that will get a shot in camp.

Yes I put POJ in there but it could be Friedman. The team plays well with Friedman in, just wish Sully would quit with playing MM with Letang.

Sujet: PIT Trade Probably Three Peat
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>I'd really love a rational explanation as to why TB does that trade?</div></div>

Crap I hit the wrong button and accidentally reported your message...sorry.

What I meant to do was comment that I am not saying that this is a fair trade, however offensively Joseph and ZAR are even. But if you talk with the analytics people ZAR is a defensive gem. McDonagh is definitely the better offensive D-man, but Dumo is comparable defensively and is 2 years younger. The reaso TB is giving up a slightly higher value is because they are buying about $2M in cap space. With that being said, as a Pens fan, I don't make this trade. Upgrading on Dumo while slightly downgrading on ZAR does not upgrade the team enough to be able to take on the extra cap, plus they would have to move out another league minimum contract to even make it work.
