Well that is done, wonder what we get back.

 

[CorgisPer60]

So long, future Captain America. f***ing wanker.

Not sure what Pittsburgh wanna give up that we want?
Doubt we get Yager and im not sold on pickering.

 

[Huffer]

So long Rutger, we hardly knew ye

Chevy has a strong track record of playing poker and generally coming out on top of trades. I have faith he'll land something of note.

Their 2025 first is really the only thing I can think of atm.

I hope so, but hopefully not a combo of Bunting and som lower picks :/

 

[Buffdog]

Rutger for Sid and Geno

Aligns here.

dubas has a history of beibg trigger happy and going after assets that other teams are trying to move.....chevy is the wily veteran vs the young hyper aggressive millenial. I have faith in chevy.

 

[MardyBum]

Pittsburgh has. . Not a lot of stuff .

Here's hoping.

Edit : forgot about Yager. Thanks @CorgisPer60. That'd be a good trade target

 

[surixon]

They have Yager and Picketing as intriguing prospects.

These are the first two guys I thought of too.

Rutger & Yager were both 14th overall picks in consecutive years. Seems fair

 

[snowkiddin]

Crosby 50% retained is my guess


(if it wasn't obvious)

Me too, Chevy doesn't give anything away. If he doesn't see good value coming back, he'll wait it out. I have good faith with Chevy in the GM chair. I'm sure something very decent will come back.

 

[DRW204]

Yager 14th overall following year from Rutger, if that's the trade, I had a feeling it'd be a recent mid 1st prospect.

The thoughts of some on here of CBJs 1st or Jiricek were just way out to lunch for me.

I like getting Yager. Another C in the system is good news.

 

[jungles]

Yager sounds like maybe this is good?

 

[Whileee]

If it's for futures, Yager and Pickering would be interesting (I think the Jets might like Pickering). The 2025 1st would also be of interest, but I doubt that would be traded by Pitt without some lottery protection.

 

[Cypruss]

Ill take Yager! Noice!!!!

Wait, thought they said Jagr from the Penguins.....

Yager is still a great pickup in this situation

 

[jungles]

Penguins fans seem unhappy about this, so I like it!

 

[Peter Tagli Eddie]

Do we have to re-do the prospect poll? Where would Brayden Yager end up?
