Been saying this for a few years to trade Crosby, Malkin, and Letang since Pens are shot. Rebuild will be done in 3 years. Let them chase some more cups. Bring them all back to retire at the end.
Add EK and they can do a very somewhat fast rebuild. The assets coming back in theory should expedite things.

Here is what I think the value would be for these players...

-Pettersson: 1 year at $4 million 2nd + Prospect
-O'Connor: 1 year at $925k 2nd
-Eller: 1 year at $2.45 million 3rd
-Rust: 4 years at $5.125 million, Penguins likely need to take a bad deal back - No value. Likely only way you get out is a a bad contract swap.
-Rakell: 4 years at $5 million, Penguins likely need to take a bad deal back - No value. Likely only way you get out is a a bad contract swap.
-Nedjelkovic: 2 years at $2.5 million - 4th

I think it's evident that this team sucks and desperately needs to tear down the roster. The amount of trade chips the Penguins have is a bit limited, but I think the main ones are:
I think it's evident that when Crosby resigned, it came with a tacit understanding that they will not blow open the team before he retire.

Now do it knowing Kyle Dubas will be negotiating these deals. If we get more than a 3rd for Pettersson while not taking a cap dump like Bunting back, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

What's the cost for Blomqvist?
I can't see a cost controlled goaltender being moved.

It'd be

DOC 900k or 950
Pool Party 700k
Petterson 4 mill
Eller 2.65

1 Year left on deals all good cap hits.

Karlsson - 3 playoff runs left. I can see Penguins retain let's say 4 million.

6 million dollar Karlsson people would be calling Pittsburgh up.

Absolutely comical decision by the Pens. This team will be wandering the wilderness for a decade plus if they let this core see out these contracts.
