Actually some good info here for once.
- Top priority is a LW for Sid to bump DOC down to L3. Player will be brought in on a short term deal. They will be patient and wait for the guys that get caught in the cap squeeze if necessary. No names given but this sounds like one of the mid-tier options like Duclair/Mantha to me.
- Penguins feel they need to tear it down, but want to field a semi-competitive team that spends to the cap for Sid's final years
- There is interest in Smith from other teams.
- POJ may return, but Dubas spent yesterday pondering replacements if necessary.
