Honestly I think if the penguins can clear up some cap space they could make a somewhat big splash in Free agency.

To LA:
Bjugstad, Johnson, Murray
To Pitt:
Roy, Moore, 2nd round pick 2020 (Vegas)

Pittsburg signs Tyler Toffoli 6 years 6 mill per

Guentzle-Crosby-Toffoli
Zucker-Malking-Rust
Tanev-Mccann-Horqvist
Moore-Blueger-Simon
*Aston-Reese, Lafferty

Dumoulin-Letang
Petterson-Mario
Rikola-Roy
*FA signing

Jarry
DeSmith

I'm not sure how people value Bjugstad and Johnson, which is why I threw in Murray. Let me know your thoughts on that trade because I'm really not sure how to interpret their contracts.

I just felt LA could use some older players to help with their youth as Brown and Carter are declining very fast. Johnson also brings a physical element that I think they lost when they traded Clifford.

No way from LA. Murray doesn’t have a lot of value and Bjustad/ Johnsson have negative value.

So vb what would be more fair, like if Pittsburgh added the second round pick instead of LA? Like I just want to know what you guys would view as fair.

Take out everything from LA add a conditional 7th from LA and then Pittsburgh adds to take on 2 dead weight contracts Murray really struggled this season and has little value.

27 May 2020 01:42:57
Yeah. Because Roy and Moore and a late 2nd have so much value that this deal is a fleecing is it VB? If you are getting hung up on small things like the pick that is thrown in, then you are being a wee bit nitty picky don't you think?

A big free agent splash? toffoli?

Habby I said a somewhat big splash.

@Saint Louis fan I honestly didn’t know who Matt Roy was until 2 days ago but statistically he was on of the most efficient dman in the NHL this season. He holds a lot of value. I’d move Andreas Johnsson for him in a heartbeat. Probably Kasperi Kappanen too. What’s murray worth? A 2nd? Those other 2 contacts you’d have to pay to dump. Bjustad and Murray as a package is maybe worth a 7th to a team with a lot of space this season absolutely destroyed Murray’s value. Jack Johnson like Lucic, Neal, Seabrook etc is considered a toxic contract it’d take a 1st to dump him atleast.

Vb I think your exagerating Johnsons’s contract a bit there, the differences between his contract and guys like Lucic, Erickson and Seabrook is about 3-4 million dollars. It’s not terrible it’s just not a contract most teams would sign him to. I’m not sure why Pittsburgh did it.

Another thing they could do is re-sign Sheary and trade Tanev who hasn’t really seemed to fit into their lineup.

Did Pittsburgh sign bjugstad or was it Florida? I thought it was Florida.
