<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Are you serious? Drouin is about 10x the player Sheary is. Drouin is an elite top line player, Sheary is barely bottom 6. When he's away from Crosby he's completely invisible. You will get nowhere near the value of Muzzin, a top pairing dman, AND a mid 1st round pick. PIT fans are insane.</div></div>

Woah bitter caps fan here. You're out of your mind calling Sheary bottom 6 - sure right now he's looking a little ineffective but guys go through that. Drouin has been through that. Both Sheary and Drouin play wing on lines with talent. Sheary produced the same amount of points, played 12 less games, and got barely any pp time which he is actually good at, Pens just have a great top unit. Half of Drouin's points were on the pp.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>orignalsix</b></div><div>I question all these Pens that think Hagelin can be offloaded to Vegas. His departure is very questionable. Same with Fleury, it's really just hoping he would agree to a trade.
It's easy to sign players when you have cap space. Try making a lineup with Hagelin and Fleury. To answer your question, I like the signings.</div></div>

Well the pens will protect 4-4-1 which would be Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Rust, Letang, Schultz, Dumoulin, Maatta. That leaves Vegas with not much to pick from since Guentzel &amp; Sheary are exempt also and Bonino is UFA. The 3 options I see Vegas looking at are Hagelin, Hornqvist, and Cole. I'm in the camp that believes Vegas will actually need to take on some salary to hit the cap floor, they can't just take all RFAs on cheap deals. So I really think they will be between Hornqvist and Hagelin, therefore a 3rd rd pick seems like it could convince them to take the contract with more term, who is also a younger player more likely to rebound instead of decline like Hornqvist.

As far as Fleury goes, yeah he's gonna have to accept a trade proposal from the Pens. There's even a chance that he could be a Vegas candidate if he's open to it. Most pens fans are believing he's not going to screw over the team but who knows.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cnb17</b></div><div>Not sure if the Pens would go after Hanzal when they can just resign Bonino for less than $4.5mil. I think Maatta also gets traded some where and the Pens might go after Shattenkirk or some other top 2 defender. I like the trade with Carolina but I'm not sure if they would trade Murphy with a pick involved. Lastly, I don't think Cole gets picked by Vegas. I'm guessing Hagelin.</div></div>

Bonino probably gets a pretty decent raise if the Pens resign him.. In my opinion Hanzal is a definite upgrade over Bonino. Not sure why you think Maatta gets traded. His value coming off of injury is probably at its lowest so I doubt the Pens get a decent return on him.. plus they're stacked at forward so I'm not sure what kind of trade you are guessing at. I do think Hagelin or Hornqvist would be good guesses for Vegas also, in fact I'd rather have Hagelin taken than Cole.
