But... why would be need a #6 back?

Other teams might need a guy for that price point and capabilities for injuries/reserve for a run. We'd open up that slot and use Barrie as the reserve this season and perhaps someone like Brewski next season.

Or do you mean we'd need someone to replace Miromanov if we decide to go for a playoff run?

My point was Miro has no value and the only way a team would trade for him is for a similar level defenseman (or forward) to save cap space.

I think Ras will be sticking around until the summer at least. Personally if we got a package that included Yager/Lambert or Mav Bourque I think you have to make that trade this year. We need a top line centre in the worst way and Ras would be the only way to trade for one. I’m not signing him to an 8 year deal and that’s likely what he’s expecting to sign. So it’s likely he’s traded next season.

Miro and Kuz have literally no value.
I don’t think you could trade Kuzy based on the contract.

Jarry on waivers. Do the Pens want Vladar?
