PIT - Paul Martin $5,000,000
PHI- Brayden Schenn, $2,500,000; Luke Schenn, $3,600,000
PHI has been shopping the Schenns for a Dman, PIT has been shopping Martin for a replacement for Dupuis
PHI is right up against the cap even with Timonen, Pronger and White LTIR, PIT has some space due to the Pascal Dupuis, LTIR
Who has to add?

1.) 25 Nov 2014
Pittsburgh SURELY has to add.Martin isn't exactly what the Flyers need! He's not young. He's not a number 1 and he's not worth both schenn's

2.) 25 Nov 2014
Luke Schenn at 3.6 million has little value. Penguins would want Philadelphia to keep some of his salary.

3.) 25 Nov 2014
This is a horrible trade for the Penguins. You don't give up a top pairing defenseman for a 3rd line center and a 3rd pairing defenseman.

Martin gets put on top pair and B. Schenn gets slotted in alongside Geno. As we all know,(if anyone has watched) B. Schenn can produce when next to the right guys, for example, Giroux. Therefore, PIT solves their top 6 winger role where they could use him as a center if need be and also get a dman back in return, where at this point L. Schenn needs new scenery.

5.) 26 Nov 2014
Luke Schenn can get new scenery if the Flers keep a third of his salary. Otherwise I'd rather have Del Zotto and the Flerys can keep their 6th D-man on a crappy defense.

Nick Schultz gets more playing time than Schenn. enough said.
