How attached to Halak are you? We could use a veteran to back up Jarry who could step in if he falters again. Halak is a pending UFA with a potentially stomach-able cap hit.

JMFJ is an abomination. Avs have done a better job hiding/protecting than the Rangers/Penguins/CBJs, but it is an illusion. He is awful. On another note, do you know Justin Schultz? Did you see the Cup?

In that case, this is the deal I see as most likely between the two clubs. Otherwise it's not a match on needs and assets.
Halak for DeSmith and a pick? We could also just bury DeSmith if that's a deal breaker. GMJR knows the player though so I assume he would take him.

Pass on all of those, Marino would be great, but not at the expense of Horvat.
The other two trades absolutely not, players we don't need, if we trade Miller it should be for futures or blue line, that's it.

Saying someone is redundant and saying they have no value are two different things, you know that right? We have enough top 6 wingers, we need futures and blue line, no Kap should not be a target, by saying that, I am not saying he sucks, or that no teams want him or that he stinks, or that he is a "nothing asset" just simply not a player I would target if I were the Canucks.
I would do it if the cap hit was even in a trade involving those 2 guys as the main players involved
Check back closer to the deadline. We need him for at least another month or two.

You do realize it was the Pens who traded Pearson to the Canucks? They've already tried the change of scenery with him

Don't really see it. Not many options make mutual sense here, I think. Maybe if Vancouver keeps riding the Boudreau train to really sniffing the playoffs, then you can never discount JR's gambler mentality to take hold.
In any event, I don't see us paying what Vancouver would like for the pieces we could be interested in. On the other hand JR might well overpay to get someone on the Pens that he is fond of. After all, overpaying IS what he does.

For the Pens, the obvious holes on the roster are:
- A 2nd line (Guentzel, Malkin and Rust are injured) and this will take care of itself in time
- Backup goalie
- #3 RD (I don't trust Ruhwedel over an entire season)
The only one of those issues I see Van able to help us with is Goalie, so I see Halak as the move and nothing more.

I'm Höglander. I can do whatever I want.
Dipietro is having a down year, and who are people trying to fool here? Halak has a horrible contract. Do Pens fans want to have Halak's bonuses count against the cap next season?
" the bonuses in his contract are incredibly attainable. Halak's deal includes a $1.25 million bonus for appearing in at least 10 games, and another $250,000 bonus for owning a save percentage above . 905"

Jason Zucker did well under Bruce Boudreau. Unsure if his decline is role-based, or natural regression, but the Canucks could be interested in a dollar-for-dollar swap for one of their own "Take him for free" roster player(s).

If Tyler Myers wasn't such a trainwreck defensively, I'd actually have a moderate amount of interest in a Zucker for Myers swap with the Canucks retaining a bit to make the dollars more even. If Myers was competent defensively, I think he'd fit well with Pettersson on the Penguins 2nd pair.
But he is a trainwreck defensively, so it's a moot point.

I honestly don't think these two teams are good trading partners.
Just kicking tires due to past relationships I am guessing. Probably an exercise in evaluating one's owns assets rather than really working out a deal.
