Fire JBB
That's not a cup winning forward groupGuentzel - Point - Kucherov = Great
Hagel - Cirelli - Atkinson = I mean, I guess?
Essy - Paul - Sheary = what is this?
Chaffee - Glen - Girgensons = This is fine

Any way Paul is the one traded? That way they can move Cirelli back to the 3rd line?That's why I think JBB is exploring the trade market to adress that need.
Would be stupid to wait at the TDL, when prices are inflated like crazy.
-Sign Moser
- Trade Sheary wherever (he's got a 16 teams trade list, should be doable)
- Trade for a ~4-5M 2RW
Guentzel - Point - Kucherov = Great

Chaffee - Glen - Girgensons = This is fine
This 3rd line is awful, wtf. Mann were really at the end of this window aren’t we?Guentzel - Point - Kucherov = Amazing
Hagel - Cirelli - Atkinson = I mean, I guess?
Essy - Paul - Sheary = what is this?
Chaffee - Glen - Girgensons = This could be good
What window?
THats not even a wild card line up. Bottom 9 forwards lack a top 6 center and winger.That's not a cup winning forward group
Either for cheap or both would be lovely if we ship out Sheay. I just don't see it happening.If TB trades for Rust or Rakell, having:
Guentzel-Cirelli-[Penguin]
would be quite the second line.
AFP gives two projections. One for a short term deal, and one for a long term.Does anyone know if we can sign Moser to a 2-year bridge deal and still hold his rights as an RFA? If not, that would explain why we aren’t using that pot of money. He’s a top-4 dman and I think he very well could pair with Hedman, so signing him to at least 4 years wouldn’t be cheap. But he’s coming off his ELC and was making the minimum. Whatever the case may be, it’s making me impatient!

“It’s not a strip it down to the studs situation here,” Dubas said. “It’s trying to use every method we can to acquire future assets.”
It’s not that the Penguins are going into rebuild mode. They aren’t, at least not in the conventional sense. I’d consider it a mini-rebuild. Don’t look for the Penguins to acquire help at the trade deadline this season. They’ll spend to the salary cap. Dubas confirmed as much today. But their days of casually giving up picks and prospects like they were dollar bills are long gone.
Thus, the change. It’s the only way at this point. The Penguins will not compete for a championship until a new wave of players comes along.
You know who used to be on Crosby's wing? Guentzel, yes, but Conor Sheary.The Penguins would still love to find a left wing for Crosby, but, given that they don’t have a ton of cap space remaining, it won’t be a sexy name.
In fact, it might be Drew O’Connor.
The Penguins had better hope the guy who showed up in March and April last season was the real O’Connor. He was impressive.
Sheary plus our two second round picks for either or both. We could also throw in Perbix if we thinkYeah, JBB definitely needs to rush and call Dubas for either Rust or Rakell.
YES! Sheary, Perbix (Crozier is ready to make the jump) and Our 2nd round pick next year for both Rust and Rakell. Of course we would have to throw in a sweetener to get them to retain 25% on each.Sheary plus our two second round picks for either or both. We could also throw in Perbix if we think
Moser/Lilleberg/Crozier/Raddysh are ready to play 4/5/6/7/8 D.
I don't think we are done. JB normally just comes out and says "Yeah that's all our moves" once he's made the last move. I'll believe it when that happens
Seems like a fantasy but I would praise JBB for it.YES! Sheary, Perbix (Crozier is ready to make the jump) and Our 2nd round pick next year for both Rust and Rakell.
WE have like 5 million left. Especially considering we have send down Chaffee, Gonglaves,Lilleberg, and Crozier if needed.Still have to sign Moser? I think that sold take the rest of the cap.
It's unlikely that it's both. Rust is Crosby's long time linemate.YES! Sheary, Perbix (Crozier is ready to make the jump) and Our 2nd round pick next year for both Rust and Rakell.
Crosby likes having Sheary on his line and was visibly pleased with his return to the Penguins. The two were chatty during Tuesday’s practice, and Crosby lit up with a smile when asked about having Sheary back on the team.
“We read off each other pretty well,” Crosby said. “He can play with anyone. He’s a pretty easy guy to play with.”
Not sure we should sign him for anything more than two years not knowing how he looks in the Lightning systemAFP gives two projections. One for a short term deal, and one for a long term.
long term - 6y x 4.4m
short term - 2y x 3.1m

Buying years of UFAWouldn't term lower the AAV? Those projections don't make sense...?
