Proposal: PIT - Dumpster Dive for LW

[Gurglesons]

Zucker is likely dead given PIT’s injury luck. They need a cheap LW to slot their roster correctly and have nothing internal. Some proposals..

Riikola for Z Smith + retained

Riikola + 5th for Flippula

Jankowski + 5th for Marcus Johansson

Riikola for Sorenson

What works?

[Rastin]

I hear that Jeff Skinner is available!

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

is Lehkonen expendable? Would make sense for Riikola if Montreal still needs a LD. Idk if that value is right.

Riikola isn’t anything special but I could see him being Kempny-ish in the right place.

Zach Smith, Craig Smith, Giovanni Smith, Gemel Smith?

OP is on the right track offering a LD, but I don't think Riikola has more than throw in value in a trade. WE know he's good and just needs a shot, but there isn't enough tape on him for another team to give up a useful asset for him. He's more on the level of that Friedman waiver claim we put in. Potentially useful, but not something you'd pay assets for.

Dumoulin or Pettersson for a LW please. Bonus points if somehow that LW is a RHS and can play the half wall on the PP. Our RW depth of Rust, Kapanen, Tanev doesn't contain that skill set.

Don't really care much for Jankowski and I think we’re still holding onto some hope for a better pick for Johansson.

 

[CupInSIX]

Zach Smith, Craig Smith, Giovanni Smith, Gemel Smith?

That's a pretty crappy offer so he must be talking Brendan Smith, who sometimes plays forward.

Sharks don’t really need Riikola honestly at all. They have Simek, Vlasic, Ferraro, Knyzhov, and Middleton on the left all of which are at least equivalent except maybe Middleton. Would prefer a 3rd but you don’t have one in 21. What about a conditional 3rd in 22? If Sorensen resigns or Pens win the cup it becomes a 2nd otherwise it’s a 3rd.

Nikita Gusev.

 

[YP44]

Wagner from LA I think should be available.

Dumolin for Tatar

 

[T1K]

Nikita Gusev.

Gusev is the type of player we should be targeting for sure

 

[Gurglesons]

Zach Smith, Craig Smith, Giovanni Smith, Gemel Smith?

Sorry Zack Smith.

 

[Gurglesons]

Wagner from LA I think should be available.

Would absolutely love him in PIT.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yeah, I figured MoJo would be worth more, but at the same time he’s been pretty dreadful there eh?

Bobby Ryan.

(Not for either of the guys you listed, something less)

 

[Gurglesons]

Nikita Gusev.

I don’t see Devils and PIT being a team that would make trades given they are potentially battling for a playoff spot, but I think the best deal here between those teams would be something around Dumoulin for Wood tbh.

 

[SEALBound]

Dumolin for Tatar

Not bad value but Dumo is signed to a good deal for 3 years, Tatar is a UFA. Would want some sort of compensation to counter that especially with ED coming up.

Gusev is the type of player we should be targeting for sure

If we can make the cap work, sure I'd be down.

Tatar is okay. But it doesn’t make sense from a standpoint of needing bodies now and the ED.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Nikita Gusev.

I think he'd work wonderfully with Malkin and Rust.

What are any of these wingers supposed to do for the Pens that Zucker couldn't?

Malkin needs a smart, skilled offensive winger like Guentzel. None of these wingers are going to sniff that.

I’m sure we would love that but reality is we simply don’t have the assets to do it.

MTL doesn't need a LD.

 

[Gurglesons]

In another thread I said I’d do Marcus Pettersson for him.

I’m not really sure what LA is looking for though.
