DD's Thread of Trade Deadlining Because mikey is a whiner

[Dickie Dunn]

I'd be ok dumping Smith for nothing as long as they don't have to retain

I'm all for the cap room, but who do we spend it on this summer that is better than Smith?

Show some sack and nab an RFA.

well we don't have the picks to make that work afaik

Damn it ulf

[Morkle]

So far, very weak day for the Pens, imo.

[mikey]

No good teams bulld through free agency. Certainly not these days.

Well we're not a good team so...

Absolutely, and it's impossible to get younger through free agency. They need to have really strong drafts these next few years. My thinking is that they will look to improve the defense with this year's draft, as they just added a couple of forwards who will help in some capacity in the very near future.

[dodint]

I'm sure Jason Spezza has it all figured out.

[Rx6687]

They will be fine at wing - not great but fine - if they move Geno there. You could do a lot worse than Bunting, Rust, Rackell, and Malkin as the top 4 wingers. So from where I'm at, obtaining a #2 center should be the top priority.

Hellberg to FLA

[Gaucho]

for G Waeber

Hellberg to FLA

A goalie swap. Weird. Maybe precursor to Ned trade?

[MR25]

Vegas acquired Hertl

[King Colby]

Holy ****

[The U]

So no Reilly to Vegas then

[King Colby]

Guess that's it. Dubas thanked the guys traded to open his presser. Ned and Smith not included.

[The U]

Returns/offers for our other guys must have stunk.

[nocera]

I'm confused. Why didn't we trade our bad players for good players?

[King Colby]

Surprised at no acquisition too TBH

[shoeshine boy]

Vegas acquired Hertl

he's on LTIR so he fits right in.

[MR25]

He'll probably get more for the guys who have term in the offseason

[King Colby]

San Jose is retaining $1.6M on Hertl for 7 friggin years.

[shoeshine boy]

I'm confused. Why didn't we trade our bad players for good players?

because Dubas knows his team is done like dinner?

[meecrofilm]

He'll probably get more for the guys who have term in the offseason

Was gonna say. If they feel like they still wanna move one of 'em, there's still the draft.

[King Colby]

San Jose traded Hertl with 1.5M retained until 2031 plus two 3rds for Edstrom and a 1st.

Do we know for sure Grier knows what he's doing?

[MR25]

I hope Dumba finally gets to wear 55 in Tampa
