Description

Might be a little light to Matthews but it is the most the Pens would likely give.

This kind of move would give the Pens 3 solid lines but the danger is that they have no depth. A few key injuries and this season is lost. Hence why the picks are top 10 protected.

Minnesota isn't taking on any cap dump and 3rd round pick isn't enough

The best asset you wanna give up is a C+ prospect and you wanna top 10 protect both 1st round picks? & you expect a max extension from Matthews? .. bro whatever you’re smoking put it down. You’re high if you think this is a good deal.

Rutta is a competent defenseman. Not great but fairly middle of the pack. For 2.75 he is a little overpriced but not a dump.

Quoting: GreatWhiteNorth

I said that is likely the best the Pens would offer. I guarantee someone else would offer more. That wasn't the point.

Also, it isn't lost on me that someone calling themselves "great white north" immediately brings up drugs.
