That's a tremendous job by Winnipeg getting value for him.

Yager is a good bet for the Jets.
Rutger is the better of the two but to get a good prospect back when teams know the player you are dealing doesn’t want to be there is good management.
Both teams should be ecstatic with the trade.

Because he's more NHL ready or because they think he's a better prospect?
Groartsy (strong C that plays like a man) is way more valuable than a small winger

Come on, Dubas. You basically swapped a $20 dollar bill for two $10 dollar bills.
You're supposed to add more quality prospects to the pipeline, not just swap one quality prospect for another.

So much for Mr. Character. It was always about playing in the NHL next season.

Its trading the 10th OA for 13thOA
A slightly better prospect for the pens vs a guy for the Jets who wants to play there

Seems like a fair deal given the circumstances.
Rutger generally considered a better prospect and more NHL ready. Yager very close as a prospect, a C which we desperately need. Add in the circumstances of Rutger being a holdout dickhead and Chevy did well here.

Huge blow to the Wolverines, would change them from solid in the tournament team to likely outside the top 14-16 of the Pairwise

Simple equal value prospect swap. Neither side should be made really. Just wish the Penguins were ADDING McGroarty to Yager and not merely swapping but it is what it is. As I said on the Pens board, they have a gapping hole at 1LW and McGroarty plays the style that has historically worked very well with Sid so, if that is the plan, I understand.
Yager also a year or two away and a rung below Rutger in talent.
Like I said, good trade for both teams considering where they are at.
This is the right analysis. Chevy was in a bind and managed to get a good prospect back still.

Then don't re-sign Crosby and just start the rebuild?
Do you want to do that?

No you can't, but now he's shunning both the Jets and the Wolverines after making a big show of committing to them back in June.

It's a fair deal in a bubble but the lack of leverage for Winnipeg makes this a poor showing for Dubas

How is this deal a $20 bill for 2 $10 bills? It’s a straight up swap where the Penguins are getting the better prospect.
Chevy did quite well in this trade - hard to imagine a better return given McGroarty's trade demand.
That being said, IIRC according to Friedman - this whole trade demand was put into motion when Chevy decided against signing McGroarty in April after Michigan's season ending either because the Jets were in a playoff push and didn't want to bring him in and/or burn a year of his ELC.
I think most would also argue that McGroarty has more trade value currently than Yager.
Chevy seemed to put himself in this unenviable position, even if he made the best out of it.
