Keep Yager and Pickering. DeBrusk; 6ft meets the height requirement.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
I'd only like this deal if there was a top prospect coming to us along with DeBrusk. The money shouldn't be the issue, it should be the age. Getting a 27 year old player instead of a 29 year old player. Dubas needs to be aiming for 24 and younger. I like DeBrusk and I wouldn't mind him as the roster player coming to us, but without a top prospect also coming to us...YIKES!pens_CT wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:07 pmlemieuxReturns wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:01 pmExactly. This move would be a head-scratcher for sure. Unless you were just flipping him at the deadline also. But then, why would you not just maximize the Jake value?Ohio_Pens_fan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 6:59 pm Debrusk is 27 and needs a new contract…I’d just as soon resign Jake.
DeBrusk can probably be signed for 5.5 to 6 million. Jake would take probably 9 million per year. Jake is a warrior but is small, how many more years of pounding can his body take. There are a couple of reasons.
If this is the deal, all 3 straight up, Dubas failed badly. Look at the stats. If it is these 3 players traded 1 for 1 for each other, the Penguins get the 3rd best player in the deal for the best player in the deal.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
I would think it would be DeBrusk to off-set salary and a solid prospect from both Van and Boston coming to Pens?

If they could resign DeBrusk, you'd have a wing for either Malkin or Crosby who would take Guentzel's place on the roster, and a younger player who could hopefully make the team next season. I don't necessarily buy this rumor, but I can understand the thinking—you're still getting younger, augmenting org depth and the skill drop off wouldn't be huge.pens_CT wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:07 pmlemieuxReturns wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:01 pmExactly.

It only works if a stud prospect or two is coming back to Pittsburgh with DeBrusk.dark_forces wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:15 pmdark_forces wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 7:13 pmI figure there would be something else coming to Pittsburgh—maybe one of Vancouver's prospects (Podkolzin?) and DeBrusk.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
DeBrusk is a UFA this summer. If you want him, just sign him this summer. Without giving up any assets.
It makes no sense at all for this to be the deal.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
If he's involved he's not the main piece, but would be added to off-set salary for cap purposes. The main parts would be the prospects from Boston and Vegas.

Dubas promised the core he would do everything to allow them to compete until the end.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Tofolli now in play. He's probably the 2nd best UFA forward available behind Jake.
So if the favorites for Jake now are Carolina, Colorado and NYR. One of them will probably get Tofolli leaving the rest to battle it out for Jake.
I also would never count Vancouver out until the deal is done.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Colorado has been busy. 1st for Sean Walker? Bowen Byram went from 4th overall 4 years ago to getting Casey Middlestadt? He must have been quite a disappointment but even still, weird trades for the Avs.
Is it too early to saw wake up KD?

Fabian Lysell, Vasili Podkolzin, + Debrusk wouldn't be a bad haul.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Vegas reportedly washing Hanifin through another team, so they'll only be paying 25% of Hanifin contract (under 2M). They still have plenty of space left to add another forward.
I also saw a mention from an analytics guy that wrote a paper in the beginning of the year talking about how teams with bigger defenseman (not necessarily slow slugs) typically have better playoff success. After Hanifin acquired, Vegas defense:
Hague 6'6" 240lbs
McNabb 6'4" 215lbs
Pietrangelo 6'3" 215lbs
Hanifin 6'3" 207lbs
Theodore 6'2" 197lbs
Whitecloud 6'2" 218lbs
Martinez 6'1" 210lbs

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Would be a great haul. Debrusk if he plays well with Sid and is resigned for 5.5-6M as a Jake replacement and two prospects and a pick for a pure rental, not resigning here is an A+

DeBrusk is LW, Rusty is RW.. tearing apart completely the only line that worked well over years would be dumb.thehockeyguru wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 6:56 pmI said this earlier Debrusk if it's a sign and trade makes sense as a rust replacement. Move him to Detroit

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Rust isn’t moving. DeBrusk would be Jake’s replacement. I like this strategy if we feel good he can be resigned for 5-6M. And we get a 1st and a prospect back

There is so much attention and rumors on a possible Jake trade, any of you with your Social accounts hearing any other rumors on other Penguins players?
Thanks,

Haven't heard a peep about players like Smith, Ruhwedel, Nedeljkovic, Eller, or Acciari. Only other person's name brought up was Rust, who media said several teams were interested in but Dubas wouldn't ask him to waive NMC. Detroit reportedly main team of interest.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
Speaking to my friend in Vancouver, he thinks the team will hold firm and will not move Hoglander, Lekkerimaki, or Willander in a deal. Podkolzin and Raty would be the best offered from Vancouver, in his opinion. Zucker, Greenway, and Duhaime would be their Plan B targets.

Re: 2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion
The only reason to do a three way is to help out two other teams work out the cap issues to get the players they want. We could retain salary on Jake to make a trade with the Nucks work for Lindholm and then move Lindholm for DeBrusk but we should be getting a good deal of compensation from both teams to make this all work. We have the best player by far in the deals and we should be rewarded for that.
