So I’ve perfected the off-season plan.

Trade McCann to Seattle to ensure they take Zucker.

Matheson and 2022 2nd for Bishop and 2022 3rd.

Pettersson and Jarry for MAF.

Sign Tatar, Coleman, and Oleksiak.

We don't need to give away McCann to trade Zucker.

Matheson has been a steady 2nd pairing D.

The rest I agree on.

McCann is an extra cap dump and in that scenario Matheson is likely your 4th best LD.

Gotta dump cap for the $12m going towards 2 elite level goalies.

I said this before the Matheson trade and I mean it still, I'm perfectly content going in with Riikola as the 3rd pairing RD. I'm sure he's rusty as (frank) at this point, but he's very underrated and completely capable.

Dumo/Letang
POJ/Ceci
Riikola/Marino

That might scare some, but I'm good with it. Maybe sign Vaatanen as a cheap quality depth option. Spend the money elsewhere.

That's why I don't take everything you say seriously lol Matheson is our 2nd pairing LD guy and has upside. He's pretty decent. Pettersson can go tbh. PO Joseph will eventually take a Top 4.

Dumo - Letang

Realistically how much do you think Oleksiak gets?

That frees up like $8m which you’d need for the additions.

The delusion level there supersedes this board by lightyears. Some of them kept saying to stop wasting their time as if I was coming to their office at Dallas Stars corporate lol. They really think they're GMs.

- Rinosaur

Dillon got 3.9m per and he’s overrated because he’s been on good teams his entire career.

I’d say 3m-ish for Oleksiak.

Long term I like POJ and Oleksiak more than Matheson who obviously still has a bad contract.

I really like PO Joseph. As for Oleksiak I wouldn't mind bringing him back if we lose Ceci (whom I'd love to see re-signed). Matheson is a good player on a $1M extra more than he should've been signed and 2-3 years too much. Not worried about him really.

I agree and Rikk also plays with an edge, he's a good hard hitter...and he's cheap against the cap. One person not being talked about is Friedman and he's a Hex boy...I really think he's in Hex's plans and I think he's fine for the 3rd pair as well. This is why I want to shed a lot of D money because I think the Pens have 4 guys already signed for next season who can handle the 3rd pair effectively and maybe even 2nd pair...at least for stints.
