I doubt Krug waives for the oldest team in the NHL

And you don't have the assets to get Cole Caufield out of Montreal.

Pittsburgh needs to be looking at a full rebuild here sooner rather than later.

I think the only one of these guys who would be available is Krug, maybe Pelech. Krug hasn't been good in a couple years and Pelech is having a really bad year by his standards. Not sure either would be a positve addition.

Realistically, there is nothing PIT could offer to give that MTL would accept to move Caufield. Its simply not a match in the slightest.

For all practical purposes, correct. His value to the Jackets is so far in excess of the trade market value for an equivalent player that it would be folly to even try.

The deal you have right there works great and we walk away with a huge smile on our faces!

I will take a 40 Point defensemen for free then

Once the pens fall of a cliff, That will be the rebuild time

They're basically there now, They're not the mighty Penguins they once were. They're getting older and you don't have much top talent prospects to replace them.

Caufield costs Matt Boldy if you have one of those to spare?

Well we don't have a Matthew Boldy

Add him to the what does he cost list?

That will go on my third edition of "How much does he cost?"

Curious... If you got Boldy, would you trade him for Caufield or keep him?

I would say i would rather have Caulfield, but not by much as both are very good 1LW

I mean, if you want to clear a space, you can toss POJ back. But yeah, free works. The Blues want a different type of Dman, we have too many of a similar type.

Actually, I'm guessing that, other than Detroit and Mayne Boston, Pittsburgh is probably the team he'd be most likely to waive for. Close to home and a chance to take one last shot at glory with Sid & Co.
