HKSR Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 To VAN Jake Guentzel To PIT Ilya Mikheyev Aidan McDonough Kirill Kudryavtsev 2025 1st round pick Pure rental, but helps us unload Mikheyev so we have the cap space to re-sign Lindholm long term. Also takes away another last name that's impossible to spell in Kudryavtsev.

Miss Korea Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 We set the market price last night. I am not sure if you are matching that price here. Guentzel is a better player than Lindhilm but I think you're offering less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guentzel is a better player than Lindhilm but I think you're offering less. I think Lindholm is close in value TBH. He's a centre, he's defensively stronger, he's physically stronger, more versatile as well being able to play PP and PK while winning an immense number of faceoffs as a RH centre. I also think more teams are looking for centres this TDL... but with all that said, Guentzel's production probably makes up for it. Although I think we're not the only ones that question whether or not Guentzel can do what he does without swapping back and forth between Crosby and Malkin as his centre.

Coconuts Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If Pittsburgh does move him Guentzel should return a better package than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Pittsburgh should be asking for a 1st and either a top prospect or a blue chip young NHL'er imo. Plus more on top of that. We're only really giving them the 1st in your proposed package. I also question whether Pittsburgh would want Mikheyev. If they're trading Guentzel their firepower takes a big hit, Mikheyev isn't going to plug that gap, I could see his term being an issue too. McDonough will be 25 in November, he's not really a prospect anymore. Kind of a meh piece. Kudryavtsev is having a solid season but he's also a recent 7th round pick. Overall it's just very meh, and a package other NHL teams should easily be able to beat if they're making serious bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Too greedy for sure. If we spend more bullets it should be on defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guentzel-Lindholm-Pettersson Suter-Miller-Boeser Garland-Blueger-Joshua Hoglander-Aman-Lafferty It’s an ok proposal but I still think our last and final area to cover is another #2A calibre dman (to bridge the gap in talent between Hronek and whoever is our 3rd best defenseman). This team would be significantly hampered if Quinn Hughes got injured. Edited February 2 by Jeremy Hronek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Larsson in Seattle. 50% retained and we fit him in without removing from our lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
