if all of that happens + we trade Rakell or Rust, I'm fine with that.
Best I can do is an obligatory Sully extension.

But really, this summer is not that important, IMO. The damage has already been done and will be in the future as far as I’m concerned with Dubas. Unless he does something really stupid like starts trading futures for vets. This should be a quiet and pretty uneventful summer.

Doubt it. Pens arent using all the picks they have accumulated. Cap is going up and some bigger UFAs out there. I bet there is a lot of player movement on the Pens and in the league as a whole.

Player movement can still be uneventful.

We’re moving into the new era of Mike Eastwood and Landon Wilson to fill out the roster while the kids marinate. At least, we should be.
 
You’re probably right. We’ll make giant moves that are regrettable in about 4 months.

I’m trying to stay positive.
My hope is we completely revamp the defense, bottom 6 and do something different with goaltending. Sully decides he wants to go somewhere else and we bring in a new coach with fresh ideas. Ill settle for a defense revamp, bottom 6 change over, a top 6 change and Sully sulking around because Dubas did Dubas things.

That scares me a lot more than my suggestion of generally doing nothing given the history of Kyle Dubas’ choices specifically related to goaltending and defensive corps. The data is there and it’s not pretty.

We’re missing two of our most important tank commanders…we may well win the game tomorrow unfortunately…

I'd rather watch the exact same team with a new coach than have to suffer through another year with Sullivan...and that's saying something.
 
I want us to have an absolutely dogshit roster next season where the only fun of it is watching 87 + some of the kids. Maybe a reclamation project or two.

I think we could get Tarasenko for cheap, glue him to Sid or Geno for a couple months then flip him for a 2nd and call up someone from the AHL.

Summer kind of hinges on this. I can tolerate them keeping Erik Karlsson. Rust should be gone at the draft or following UFA. Then try to get Utah to give us Maccelli on the cheap and flip him at the deadline.

Prepare to be disappointed.
I'll eat my hat if Rust is traded.

I can already tell you what’s going to happen.

-Jarry stays
-Nobody wants Ned
-Gryzlek brought back for too many years (ie >1)
-Hallander fills the role of hyped up Euro forward who is healthy scratched by November 8.
-Letang LTIRetires which allows them to justify keeping EK
-1 or 2 Anthony Beauvillier tier UFAs are signed to 1 year deals
-Some people are hilariously disappointed when Mitch Marner does not sign here

if all of that happens + we trade Rakell or Rust, I'm fine with that.

I just want something to happen. I expect multiple moves from Dubas and him to be active.

Rust or Rakell being traded would be huge. I am fine if we keep Rakell.

I'd like to see us trade Heinen or send him down. I don't care give that spot to youth.
Accairi being moved would be nice to.

Dubas needs to be getting an asset to take Tarasenko. He's washed up and not worth his cap hit. Especially from Yzerman.
