Basically they're not going to make a move just to make a move. It's either a move that fits a very specific need/desire or nothing.
No idea. Leddy's mention surprised me.But that's just the thing though, how are they going to add this mobile defenseman without making more moves to make that work?
I guess I can see it if you're talking about something like Pettersson for Leddy, but when I look at this roster, one of the absolute last things I think they need is more mobility on defense.
Zero interest in Paul…he doesn’t move the needle as a scorer
Also specifically mentions that the Penguins were quietly looking at Ben Chiarot, but didn't come close to a deal because of the cap. And that there is some smoke around Robert Hagg from Buffalo.What we're hearing about the Penguins at the trade deadline, Version 2.0
The Penguins were in on Ben Chiarot, and they're eagerly looking to better their roster before the NHL trade deadline.theathletic.com
Tldr - hextall would love to make a move, is willing to trade some future, RW for Geno priority but physical dman also desired, it's just about the cap
Could do that, pair him with Ruhwedel, and have a modern day Scuderi-Gill third pairing.I would do Pettersson for Hagg but that's really about it.
right but that’s what we need with everyone on this team shooting like 7% recently lol
First mistake is assuming Kris Letang is smart hahaIf I am Letang and have 3 cups already I am testing the market like Lindholm. Show Me The Money! careers are short, i'd go for the $$$.

He does if you move ZAR and a pick or prospect for him.
I was comparing him more to Gill and Ruhwedel to Scuderi. Obviously moves better than Gill.Hagg is more Orpik than Scuderi.
At this point, Pettersson is pretty not good right now and he's twice as expensive. If Hagg at least clears the front of the net, that's an upgrade.Yeah I thing Hagg is pretty not good but you're saving a decent chunk of change there and he brings some physicality to the team. Hardly the worst move they can make.
I never begrudge a guy getting paid, but Letang is far enough into super rich from his previous contracts the a few extra million really doesn't matter to him. In his place I'd be all about lifestyle. Maybe that's playing in Pittsburgh with his boys. Maybe that's golfing in Florida. Maybe it's skiing in Colorado.If I am Letang and have 3 cups already I am testing the market like Lindholm. Show Me The Money! careers are short, i'd go for the $$$.
I dont think that’s on the FO’s radar…
Only if we let Hagg walk in the offseason, he's straight trash. But I am fine with it if it clears us cap space to better the team.Do Pettersson and a meh prospect/pick for Hagg and then trade a pure futures package for Rakell
Kingeriski or whatever said Hagg was a possibility a few weeks ago. Wonder if Yohe is just repeating that.
