The only other player with any value is probably Pettersson.
Dennis Reynolds
I have to have my tools!
This isn't the NFL, an extra 3rd and 5th aren't going to make a difference. If you can't get at least a second why bother.

Because keeping eller does nothing. And that 3rd wil be closer to a second than 4th

So were Connor Hall, Ben Hanowski, Casey Pierro-Zabotel, Jonathan Filewich, and Drew Fata
Actually Pens have historically done pretty well with 3rds. Much better than 2nds.

Eller is a 35 year old center with 1 assist in his last 10 games.
People are acting like we just traded a prime Jordan staal for a 3rd and 5th
Weren’t Murray and rust 3rd rounders

Letang, too. Also got NHLers with Sundqvist, Bortuzzo and some others. Like I said, 3rd round is our jam for some reason.

Trade everyone you can, bring up and play the young guys from wbs to see what you've got, secure a top pick in the draft. Should be the gameplan.
Rust was also a third rounder.
The Penguins were really bad in the early to mid 2010s about letting decent players on expiring contracts go for nothing.
It didn't really improve in the 2020s.
If they would have gotten these mid round picks more often, they might actually have a player or two contributing today.

A lesson they seemed to learn a bit TOO much from considering they largely went on to signing mediocre players for way too long instead of just letting them go.

That seller is slightly less than I was expecting but it’s still not bad. Was thinking he’d get a 2026 2nd from a contender, instead he got a 2027 3rd from a rebuilding team plus a 5th.
Think this also clears a spot for Poulin on the full time roster, which I like.

Exactly…with Eller gone we should be playing Broz or Pono at 3C, not Acciari lol

The same people complain about this would be complaining if they hadn’t trade Eller and got hurt and January.

Call me naive all you want but this trade feels like them opening up a spot for Poulin.

Why would they open a spot for a guy they tried giving away for free to 31 teams a month ago?
