Pit:
Jarry, McCann
Tor:
Kapanen, Andersen, 2nd

Pittsburgh needs a proper RW beside Crosby, especially if Sheary leaves this off season. Kapanen could easily step in there and probably put up 60 points playing with Crosby and Guentzle along with adding some sandpaper to that line.

Murray seems to have the starting job, so I think Pittsburgh moves Jarry while his value is at an all time high. Andersen is added simply to give the Penguins a little more security in case Murray starts to struggle again. However he can easily be moved for basically anything the Penguins need in their bottom 6 or on defence.

Toronto gets the new 3C they need and good young goalie who can replace Andersen's numbers in a couple years. For now though he can run a tandem with Campbell.

Does Pittsburgh not need a new 3c after this?

Kappy adding sandpaper? I do agree kapanen would look good beside Crosby, but if you talk a proper rw they should be hoping for more than 60 points.

Also if they trade jarry they wouldn't want andersson back. He's older, cost more, and harder to move.

@Monkeyful

They could easily trade Andersen for a new 3C, and honestly I don’t see why Blueger wouldn’t be ready to step into that role anyway. He is young, skilled, and could probably use more ice time to put up better point totals. Andersen is in the trade simply to balance out the value and the Penguins could flip him right away if they wanted. I’m sure there are a ton of teams who would be more then happy to pay a premium price for him (New 3C, defensive depth, high picks, etc) .

Also Kapanen is a very gritty player and is very hard working both in the offensive zone and in the defensive zone. I don’t think he gets credit for it enough tbh. He was really one of the only leafs to step up for his teammates this year. Muzzin and Clifford were really the only other ones.

Also, if Pittsburgh wants a top end winger who scores 70+ points, they are going to have to trade the likes of Letang or Marino+ if they want it. I simply don’t see that happening as they don’t really need any more elite talent up front, simply another guy to round out the top 6. Kapanen would also add some much needed speed to their aging roster.

This is terrible for the leafs like what? Kerfoot has been looking extremely well in the playoffs so far so a 3C is not a need. Jarry is a big down grade on Andersen and if he were placed on the open market he’d get back atleast a 1st and a prospect to a team at the deadline with an injured or struggling goalie.

Andersen won't get a 1st.
No wonder the Jets trolls laugh at you. Leafs only traded a 1st for Andersen. When he was five years younger and on a long term deal. He just had the worst year of his career and is a upcoming free agent. He won't get a 1st. Lehner didn't get Chicago a 1st and he is a far better goalie. No way Andersen gets a 1st. Keep dreaming Leafs fanboys. Hahahaha.

I never said Anderson would get a first. that is why I added the 2nd from Toronto.

Andersen wasnt on a long term deal. Leafs had to sign him when they traded for him.

He was rfa. Not UFA. Huge difference. He was controlled.

Andersen has starting Pedigree over Lehner. Andersen the year prior was a vezena Canidate. Lehner does not have more value and hasn’t proven he can carry a team like Andersen can.
