So where are all the people saying we weren't getting a high pick back now? 😉

Anyway keep it going, see what's out there for Bunting or Rakell and try to move EK please and thank you!!
 
Yep the next shoes to fall will be better since less retention for the cap increasing. I had Karlsson at 5 AAV retention in a deal. Now maybe 3 million AAV. Dubas has three big trade chips yet to move in Karlsson, rust and Rakell. Also Jarry with cap space can be moved with smaller retention as well. I see Karlsson and Jarry moved this off season and probably Rust. Dubas will begin the calls ups of a couple WB guys as well.
 
GREAT.......Now I get to see how Danton Heinen is a great player with all these awesome advanced stats metrics stapled to Geno's wing for the rest of his career.
 
So if the pick is 13 or higher we get next year’s pick? Of the Rangers?

Fernstrom is intriguing but judging by him not making the U20 team I also don’t think he’s increased his value much since being a 3rd rounder. Still eligible for the team next year though, and will probably be there.

Not sure Pens can pick which year if Rangers are 14 or higher. But bestcase scenario is Rangers suck next year and Pens have a high pick, Dubas will have nice picks from other trades plus prospects.

Yeah agree- esp bc he didn’t make it despite having a good U18

I kinda hope it’s this year’s pick just so we can get this rebuild started finally. Our pick, maybe in the 4-6 range, and a mid-teens 1st, just grab some kid that was in the top 10 but fell because he interviewed poorly or couldn’t do any pull-ups at the combine or had a mild injury.
 
RIP the Dragon, he was a lovely man
:(
 
Great trade, we got a 1st for Petts without retaining or committing to another contract past next year.

Not much else to say.
 
In all seriousness this is a pretty solid return for two players that the Pens absolutely did not stand to benefit from keeping, especially considering the upcoming cap hikes. Heinen is a (somewhat) better player than O'Connor, Desharnais kinda sucks but it doesn't matter that much, and they got a 1st round pick and prospect. I don't have any complaints about this move.
 
I don’t see how anyone can be against this deal. I figured we’d just get a second rounder for MP28. To get a first is great. If you don’t want to give it an A because we took back contracts of meh to not great players, that’s fine but we’re going to be bad next year anyways and neither of them are signed beyond next year.

First round condition is a win win for us too. That has the potential to be a top 15 pick this year and at worst top 20 this year. If not, then the pick gets moved to next year in a deeper draft. With the chance of the Rangers imploding.
