Pressure on Boston

Defensemen (9)
Martin, Paul » $5,000,000 $5,000,000 $5,000,000
UFA
Orpik, Brooks » $3,750,000 $3,750,000
UFA
Letang, Kris » $3,500,000 $3,500,000
UFA
Murray, Douglas » $2,500,000
UFA
Niskanen, Matt » $2,300,000 $2,300,000
UFA
Despres, Simon » EL $840,000 $840,000
RFA
Eaton, Mark » $725,000
UFA
Engelland, Deryk » $566,667 $566,667
UFA
Bortuzzo, Robert » $525,000
RFA

What I like most about these trades is that Shero did it a week before the deadline. I like getting in before the Frenzy. I just wish we didnt lose Morrow without giving him a shot at some point in Pitt first. But, if it means a cup, ill be happy with the move.

I could see Bortuzzo being traded and thats about it

Is that a problem? LOL

Wow I'm so pumped right now. We have the look of a true contender. Pretty complete team IMO. What you gonna do Boston?

Shero overpaying for Murray and a little bit for Morrow may have just boosted the values of Jefferey, Bortuzzo, Engelland, And possibly TK. Jefferey has been a 2nd line center the last few games and may get more than we think

A nice one to have

They just updated on CapGeek.

We gotta trade Engo or Borts. Could we get a 4th round pick for one of them?

I would play Despres over Eaton.

Wow is that a hard call, Eaton has played so well. Wow things are getting really tough for Byslma.

JEFFREY HAS NO VALUE!!!!!!!!!!

Murray will help the PK. That seems to be a big reason he was acquired.

If you watched Jeffrey last night you shouldn't be thinking we'd get much.

ok like someone said get a 2nd back...

package two players for a 2nd

He's not terrible. If he could finish then it'd be nice, but he's a hard worker. We got a 5th for letestu. Get a 4th or 5th for DJ

Im sure someone will give up something for Jeffery. 5th-6th rounder.

GREAT move by Shero. The Pens just got a LOT harder to play against in the past 24 hours.



Letang-Despres
Orpik-Martin
Niskanen-Murray

Eaton, Engelland, and Bortuzzo to the press box.

That, my friends, is a solid top 6.

Why move him for a 5th or 6th though? You dont just move players to move players.

Despres will be a healthy scratch or sent down now, so dont be shocked when that happens.
- Gunner Staal

I know the 4th-line has been playing better, but it'd be interesting to test-out dressing 7 defensemen for a few games and scratching one of the 4th-line forwards.

- drummer829

Yes, but he can't finish. He just doesn't have the innate skills and sense...6th or 7th for him if they have to move him.

i like those lines but HCDB throws orpik and martin out with first line...

- Reverend Killtaker

The fact Ray traded him to Dallas should send a message to you that he slipped in the eyes of management. We still have Harrington, Maatta, Pouliott, Dumoullin, Samuelsson, and the kid we got from Phoenix.

Why move him for a 5th or 6th though? You dont just move players to move players.
- Deadstar

You're not you're moving players because you need roster spots. Either send Despres/bennett down which is a terrible decision or you have to put guys on waivers and lose them for nothing.

- Deadstar

No you don't and I would keep Jeffrey because he's a solid fill on the top 3 lines. However defense is a numbers game and you might have to move Bortuzzo just to make a trade unless you're OK wit Despres in WBS

Either that or waivers. The Pens are running out of roster spots.

I could see Bortuzzo or Engelland being moved or Glass being waived.

Jeffrey will be on waivers by tomorrow at noon... He'll be in Wilkes-Barre for the weekend.
