Third Line Trade Options for Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Hockey’s Dan Kingerski Now: With the St. Louis Blues claiming kasper kapanen outside of waivers, it gives the Pittsburgh Penguins some financial flexibility. They probably aren’t interested in paying a lot of rent.
They could currently take on a salary of almost $2.1 million at the deadline, and if they sent a defender Marcos Friedmann to the AHL, they could increase that number to $2.9 million.
Could you find an interested party to Teddy bear ($2.1 million) or brock mcginn ($2.75 million) will they have even more space? Could they move? jeff petry and his $6.25 million?
They need to find a third-line hub: potential business targets.
If Chicago Blackhawks Max Domi it is too expensive to acquire or is not available, jason dickinson could be an option. Dickinson has a year left at $2.65 million, while Domi is a pending UFA at $3 million.
anaheim ducks adam henrique He’s currently injured but has a year left at $5.8 million. He can cost a second-round pick and a prospect.
Washington Capitals lars eller he can be more of a fourth-line center at this stage. UFA pending at $3.5 million.
arizona coyotes Nick Bjugstad is a pending UFA at $900,000.
Sean Monahan He is a $6.375 million pending UFA who is currently injured but skates with the team in a non-contact jersey.
You call waiting for the prices to drop and then see where they sit
Eric Francis of Sportsnet: The Calgary Flames’ decision on what to do before the deadline will go all the way. Flame general manager Brad Treliving.
“Yeah, you have to be careful.
It’s great to get things done early, but the reality is, look at the prices. There have been some very good players on the move, but for the most part, it’s a rental market and when you’re solidly in one place, it’s easier to do.
I’m not going to start throwing away the best assets. I think we are a good team that has underperformed.
We’ve done all our work by the deadline, we have an idea of what’s going on.”
Treliving says that they have been talking but nothing makes sense to them yet. He won’t trade players for moves when asked about being vendors and that their pending UFAs won’t make massive profits.
The notion that the defender Oliver Kylington I could come back and help the team this year it gets harder as the days go by.
