Team: 2024-25 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 19, 2024

Published: Apr. 19, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

If by TD next year, the team is still unable to secure a top 3 position in the division.

Sell off EVERYTHING, even Crosby, Malkin and Letang if you can.

- take a bunch of bad contracts and accumulate a ton of draft capital to try to draft Misa and Mckenna.

- go the MTL, SJS and CHI route - and within 4 years - you'll be back competing. If not, you'll lose these guys to retirement, UFA or a case of Vlasic-sickness.

Don't take that chance, because if you don't money your assets right now - your rebuild will take 10 years like Buffalo and NJD.

I'm not a Pitt fan - so these values are all over the map - some may be VERY overvalued, some may be undervalued...

The point is that with Malkin and Crosby alone - you could fetch 2 first round pick and 2 great prospects equivalent to 4 first round picks.

Letang or karlsson retained can fetch you a huge package (especially for PMD RHD) - Letang at 3M$ and Karlsson at 5M$ is GOLDEN.

TBH - I did do a great job with the TANK - I think this team could still compete lol.
