Really? Thought there’d be some pushback, lol. I figure Bob at 6.5 is far better value, it opens up space for us, and I imagine Granlund can still be flipped.We would want an add to take him.
Sure.

grunsdstrom it is and depending on us signing Joonas Korpisaloas for the Desmith add althou we could always put him in ahl so yep we could add him So cal and grunstrom for desmith and a 7th ? deal from laKaliyev or Grundstrom. Would want you to take Desmith back too.
Hypothetically Desmith for Petersen means we are spending 3.2 more on a back-up. If you get a player out of that and then add in a cheaper player on top of it I'm okay with it. Not great with it, but whatever kinda the situation we are in with our net.
If Nashville is going to a rebuild and makes Saros available, that's who I want. 1st ++The only goalie who might be available I'd pay the 1st for would be Hellebuyck.
Otherwise I'd rather draft a good prospect and hope to sign Varlamov to a stop gap contract.
What's your end game? Cause, if you have Sid, Geno and Letang for the remainder of Sid's contract of 2 years, you might as well go for it. That first won't be on the roster before Sid's contract expires.The only goalie who might be available I'd pay the 1st for would be Hellebuyck.

You must hate Hart a lot to look at a trade to the Pens. Yikes. This team will do what it usually does: a solid tank job that gets them 3 top 3 picks in a row. No way they entertain getting Hart with this 30+ lineup with close to no prospect in the system.
Pens are one team not to worry about for a few years.
They will probably never trade players again unless its a minor move but lets say they do. Besides Konecny, Hart and Provorov are our best assets in possible trade scenarios.Absolutely! What do you think Flyers would want for him?
Also do you realistically think Philly would trade with Pittsburgh?
I'd like to run with a 1A/1B tandem. As others have said, goalies can be fickle. No sense in putting all your eggs in 1 basket, unless they prove it.
Hence, if Jarry was willing to come back on a cap reasonable prove it deal...maybe 1yr-2yr $3.5M-$4M. If a reasonable trade could be made for Hart, as he has 1 year left on his deal, that could work.
Jarry is horrible. Penguins best bet is to rebuild but if they don't then trade every pick and prospect they have to get a Vezina quality goaltender who can single-handedly haul them into the playofffs.As much as people like to parrot that goalies are devalued because they're so unpredictable...it's still really hard to acquire a proven good one.
I think Pittsburgh's best option is probably to either continue to roll with Jarry, unfortunately...or to gamble on trying to land a guy like Varlamov and team him up with someone who can handle a decent quasi-tandem workload, given his age and durability history. Maybe team a reclamation project like Talbot up with somebody else and try to double the odds on something working out?
Obviously the Flames would be interested in moving that Markstrom contract...and there's a lot of upside in that gamble. The contract gives that a ton of downside though. Especially considering Calgary probably can't take back a huge amount of salary to offset. It's also just a really big risk in whether Markstrom has actually fallen off a cliff, or if it was just an off year on a more gradual downward trend at this age.
You run into wildcard situations like Ullmark coming out of nowhere to dominate...but to get a guy who isn't a completely and utter shot in the dark gamble, it's costly...if almost impossible to pull off.
