Dumba (50% retained)

Wild get value and a reclamation project for a defenseman that won’t be back next year.

Penguins get Dumba to eat up some of the minutes Letang had while he is out recovering.

The Pens are not trading their 1st round pick, the good old years of GMJR are done. Hextall will be slowly rebuilding with picks going forward..

Decent idea in theory, but I don't think it'll happen. The Pens will probably just use Petry as a 1D while Letang is out and promote Smith from the AHL. They won't trade their first for Dumba; it's not worth it for them at this point.

If Pitt was a legit contender, this would make more sense. But they are not and that pick should fall in the mid teens.

The Pens could end up being sellers in 3 months. Especially if Letang is out longer term. Highly doubt they move high draft picks

If we are gettinga guy to replace Letang, I'd rather go for Klingberg honestly.

It’s a good idea in theory but I actually think Letang isn’t going to be out all that long. It sounds like his stroke was substantially less severe than it was back in 2014, when he missed like 2 months due to it.

If Letang was out for the year, this would be a super reasonable proposal.

Klingberg isn't the mega-stud he was in his younger days, but I'd take him (though not for a #1 pick).

Hard pass on Dumba.
I don't think we need the mega-stud. We just need an offensive-minded minute eater and I think he could do well enough. He's a UFA too.

IF the pens are not making the playoff would they be willing to be part with Crosby ???

Ron Hextall pace should have the Pens ready by 2050.
Well GMJR didn't really help in that matter either, he traded away terrible high picks for poor players like Reaves and Zucker in his final years. And when he did draft, we got Pouliot!!

If we want to speed things up, some big players got to be moved!!

One is a lazy piece of **** and the other is a crazy old man that lost his marbles. Neither are good at their jobs.
