Pitt is apparently looking for a third or fourth line depth centerman and Letestu was brought up as an option.

Oil: Letestu
Pitt: 4th

Oilers clear out UFA and Pitt gets what they are seeking for? Not to mention he played in Pitt already.

That's been a rumor for a month or so now. They are interested in him for sure. If they don't go after a big name because of cost, This is their fit.
I like him, think he's worth a 3rd myself. Such a utility guy can play any situation. Would be a good fit. Maybe he signs a one year deal back in Edm in the off season too. He's from 2 hrs away from Edm I'm pretty sure. Loved it there. Great guy.

I would think that Pitts looking for a more impact player for a deep playoff run for their 3rd C.

Letestu is a good depth player and didnâ€™t he actually put up decent offense and was used on the PP a bit? (Maybe just while other guys were hurt?! ) but I would think heâ€™s worth a third and mid prospect or Maybe even a late second on its own if someone really needs him. Again I can point out what the caps paid for a guy like winnik from the leafs to do pretty much the same job.

Just looked, it was last season I was thinking of where he had 16 goals. Pretty good for a guy like that.

I have wanted to pawn of Pleky to pits for their playoff push, lol. Retain 50% on him so they can afford it and he is a good shut down center. Unfortunately i think your proposal is better - damn! lol.

Iâ€™ve always thought bozak would be a good fit there behind sid and malkin, already has great chemistry with kessel if they tried splitting the big 3 on different lines again and bozak is good on draws, skilled enough to put up points and play PP if needed, but can check and PK really well. Problem is pens wouldnâ€™t pay leafs enough to justify leafs losing him for the playoffs either.

Letestu has been 1st Power play with McDavid. Drai. Lucic and Klefbom/ Sekera for all of last year and most the first half this year. Kills penalties. Takes lots of important draws. Great 5 on 5 4th line player. A utility knife for sure. Would be a good fit, and familiarity having already played for Pitts for two years.
16G 19A 35P last season. Not bad for $1.8M for what he brings. He is very very liked in the dressing room as well.

Would like to keep Letestu but I think edmonton should trade their UFAâ€™s! Maroon, Letestu and camallari. And I put the 4th because he has produced too much but honestly I could see him getting a late 2nd heâ€™d be a good playoff pick up.
