At this rate we could probably trade 2nd round picks we don’t have and no one else will bother to check

 

[Rullailija]

Would much rather have signed Teräväinen than done the Pens a favour

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I don’t get this

 

[haohmaru]

This isn’t the first liner we were looking for.

 

[McRanger92]

2nd round picks are fairy dust. Rangers got a guy projected for the 2nd round in the 4th 2 days ago. Dont cry over not being able to draft teenagers outside the first round.

Smith is a good and useful player that does everything and has won.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

So the NYR are now renting year round? Really?

Caps gave up similar value to add Chychrun as a long term piece.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

desperate move

 

[Atax]

Heres the magic player we've been waiting for to unlock the ES ability of the wonder twins. Who needs 2nd round draft picks.

If you don't like it because of the lack of other moves today, that's one thing. But just in a vacuum, I think it's good value.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Still had to give up multiple picks to get him lmao. Hey at least we won't have to wait for the deadline for our middle-6 forward moonlighting as a 1st liner rental.

 

[17futurecap]

Missed out on Kane, TT, Drouin and Toffoli so then had to give up picks for a rental, shrugs.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I mean it's not a sexy move but he's a good fit. Only one year commitment.

 

[cwede]

that's a TDL price not a summer price,
without retention or a sweetener, i don't like the cost
being too nice to a division rival

[with 25% retention, and condition(TBA) on the 5th, i hate it less,
but a 2nd is still a TDL price ...]

Isn't Chychrun a UFA after this season?

 

[will1066]

A second and a fifth. Who cares.

 

[Fitzy]

Not a fan, don’t think he does much to change the dynamic in the top 6.

Price tag isn’t outrageous but that’s entirely because of what we are getting relative to the cap hit.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

There better be retnetion on him.......or this deal sucks ass

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Fair. I’m projecting a bit.

 

[eco's bones]

Not a fan of Chychrun.

Not sure that this move is great either. Basically looks like Drury ran out of free agent winger options. Unless the Pens retained something there goes $5 mil of our limited cap space with Schneider and decisions on Lindgren/Trouba to come. At this point I can't see the Rangers moving both of them without a decent defenseman coming back.

Gustafsson is gone to Detroit. He was okay. I don't think it was a big loss.

I don't think Trouba is going away easy and opening up that cap freedom.

 

[Good Intentions]

I’m not a draft pick guy but a 2nd is outrageous here.

 

[HANK30]

Penguins fans appeared to be thrilled to get rid of him...

 

[NYRFANMANI]

... There go my sweet, sweet draft picks.

Thanks Chris!
