Value of: Lars Eller

[StIvany4Norris]

Veteran 3C with a cup ring, probably the most consistent non-Crosby player on the Penguins last year, scored at a 30+ point pace despite inconsistent (and often terrible) wingers

Available due to the logjam at center the Glass/Hayes trades created and given the Pens are in a retool and he's UFA with younger players in need of opportunity

Ask would probably be a 2nd plus a sweetener at the deadline, ideal trade now would probably be for a younger wing with middle six upside or LD prospect from a team trying to win now to help with the retool, for example a Kaliyev from LA

What's your team's best offer? Pens can retain 50%

Probably a 4th right now.

 

[hurdemz]

Doubt hes worth a second straight up.. maybe a 3rd?

 

[VikingAv]

Avs will give a 2nd for 31% retention.

50% retained at the deadline I think a 2nd is the ask

 

[SEALBound]

Right now, I would value him at a 3rd but would gladly take a 4th.

50% retained at the deadline I think a 2nd is the ask

Pens only have 1 retention spot left. I’d have to think Pettersson at 50% at the deadline would garner a much better return than Eller so I’m not sure we will retain on him unless it brokered through another team.

I think Pettersson gets resigned

I think Pettersson gets resigned

Dubas has spent all summer adding picks. We’re no longer in the business of locking guys up over the age of like 24.

It would be stupid of Dubas to keep Pettersson. So you’re probably correct.

They're trying to retool as opposed to rebuild

If you're trying to be competitive again before Crosby retires you resign the 28 year old that has proven chemistry with both of your top defensemen when you have exactly one (1) decent prospect coming at LD

Maybe. He might get it, but if he's playing a 4C role I imagine we just take a contract back and a team takes him for a 3rd or a 4th.

Make that a 2nd in 2042.

Eller for Nick Robertson. Dubas drafted winger, capable of 20 + 20 easily, if put in a position to succeed, and some PP time.

I think the Pens happily do that, the Leafs do not.

3rd with no retention seems like a safe bet. I think it's possible he can pull off a 2nd at the deadline if he's having a strong year, but I think a 3rd is by far most likely.

And even though I quite like the player, given our logjam I'd rather move him for a third now to free up a spot for a development guy, vs holding out for deadline value later. We need to find out what we have in Ponomarev, Poulin, Glass, Lizotte etc.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Eller for a 3rd + Contract buriable in AHL with no cap hit to Penguins.

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

I can see a Robertson and Timmons+ swap for Eller + at the end of training camp. makes sense from both sides

What are Robertson's contract demands like? Otherwise it wouldn't work cap wise on top of the Penguins having no use for Timmons.

Robertson + Kampf for Eller and say a 3rd + a 5th would be an interesting trade. Eller is an upgrade on Kampf and frees up cap for the Leafs next year. Robertson fills the younger player plan for the Pens.

I am sure 1.5 mil bridge deal would get it done. I don't think his reason for not signing is money as much as it is dissatisfaction over his development. Timmons is purely a cap dump and the fact he is a former Soo Grey Hound. You will need to get use to Dubas aquiring them when ever possible.

Not sure why Leaf fans want to dump Kampf. As a 4 C his faceoff, Defensive ability and Pk ability is valuable. Sure he is over paid by about 800k but he provides a lot of value. He also plays a pretty heavy game for a center and it does translate well in the playoffs. Look at his stats beyond the standard box car stats.

Kampf makes no sense for PIT.

Timmins would. Gives them a RHD insurance.

Penguins have no RHD after St. Ivany.

Timmins would make a ton of sense. Honestly Eller for Timmins and a 3rd makes sense.

Would definitely have interest in Robertson or Timmins but I think adding Kampf defeats the purpose of moving Eller, opening spots up for younger guys
