They're six points behind the Flyers with three games in hand, they could catch them Mayfield carries a 3.5M cap hit

They certainly have the picks to do it, less sure about the prospects but Matthew Wood and Felix Nilsson are their first and second round picks from this past draft Maybe Joakim Kemmel, their top pick from 2022 or Tanner Molendyk, the 24th OA from 2023 Speaking of strictly picks, they have their 1st over the next three seasons as well as Tampa's 1st next season, three 2nd's this draft, a couple 3rd's this draft, and most of their other picks over the next three drafts If Nashville actually wants to pay it's doubtful either Vancouver or Vegas could outbid them, they could use firepower up front, but it comes down to whether Guentzel would extend there

Toffoli would be interesting, but I reckon Jersey extends him

Fuck Messier

I'd rather not pay for him precisely because of what it'd cost, he will not be cheap We're not going to outright win every trade, we're not going to always get players we want for moderate prices like we did with Zadorov The NHL does not revolve around the Canucks, bottom line is that if Dubas is trading Guentzel he needs as close to a home run as possible, Guentzel is the best trade chip he has and the Penguins can't afford to flub it Maybe he'd put us over the top, but Cinderella runs are unusual and Cinderella run winners even moreso, I'm not sold on us being contenders this season Do we have a shot? Sure, but our core is also relatively inexperienced come playoff time, I reckon we go out within the first couple rounds Would I love to be wrong about that? Sure, but I reckon we'll have to pay our dues in the playoffs like most teams who eventually break through do beforehand

Sooner or later teams should stop giving him chances

Settle down, I didn't say trade him Pittsburgh have the most coveted forward on the market, they're going to ask for pieces teams and fans would be reluctant to move They're not trading him for peanuts

I don't think he's worth it, but some team might Aka Toronto

No thanks to Guentzel and Buchnevich, the cost will likely be too high I'd poke around a lesser target like Tarasenko

Makes sense, I'm pretty sure I've said it in this thread before, but if the Pens are looking for prospects/young NHL'ers than Hoglander would probably appeal to them Maybe moreso than Podz given his production

They don't have much to offer in the way of prospects at this point What they do have is almost all of their picks over the next three drafts, they're only missing a 4th this draft and a 7th next season If a team is gonna overpay with picks it'll likely be Vegas

Leaf fans gonna Leaf, Boston would probably welcome that matchup

Guentzel - VGK Henrique - Avs Wennberg - NRY Hanifin - Panthers Seeler - Leafs Buchnevich - Remains with St. Louis Vatrano - Remains a Duck, is extended at some point

Rags are in on Vatrano too, he won't be cheap if he's available

I doubt he takes that large of a pay cut, but time will tell

Sure, I'd be up for potential picks coming back But if management wants to go for it it'd make sense to retain him, they seem to want to take a crack at it

Probs, could see him taking less somewhere to try and chase a cup though We'd probs keep him as our rental imo, he's a big D with a history of playing top 4 minutes, that's a good thing to have

Green getting another shot at it Obligatory gif tho
