Sutter gets moved 2019 Off-season or 2020 TDL - his NTC gets scaled back to 15 teams he won't go to as well. Don't know if its true but rules say 3 contracts?

luckylager Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 They don't need a 3c to stay in the playoff race in the reg season. They'll need one for a 3peat though. My guess is they hold off, banking on cap relief until TDL. Unless they're gifted a premium checking C, with cap retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 4 hours ago, Kaner said: Exactly what I thought. I do wonder if Sutter might be too expensive for what they're looking for. Yes....the reason they traded him in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just now, BCNeil said: Yes....the reason they traded him in the first place. True. But, it didn't help that Benning tossed him a huge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so even worse than they thought he would get, when they decided they wouldn't be able to afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Pittsburgh will not trade for soft Sutter and his 4.4 million per yr contract to play 3rd line.. They have some great young guys to fill role..For sure not Sutter and 4.4 Million.. I would really like to see Sutter packaged in trade, Very soft for a big guy and we have guys here that can fill his role now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just hoping for something to happen, any tidbit will do, until we actually think on it. The pens can't afford the calibre of player they want in that slot, yet. There will be injuries.....

JeremyCuddles Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If they wanted Sutter they would have just offered Bonino the contract he got from Nashville. I am not fond of retaining cap either since his contract isn't that bad. Maybe try get Athanasiou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 There's one guy that makes a ton of sense: Jonathan Marchessault 1 year from UFA. Only a $750K cap hit. And he would give them yet another legitimate PP threat. Question is, will Pittsburgh part with their 2018 1st for another 1-year rental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickels Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 We'll need to move Sutter to a team that isn't so familiar with his offensive limitations. Maybe somebody will see the good frame/great pedigree/high draft pick stuff that we did... and assume he's better than he is.

Seems the ones who might move, are either too pricey(high-end); whilst the talented, high FO% guys are aging(Perreault, Hanzal, McClement, etc) Currently a few injured C's also..maybe a good time to deal Sutter? Retain a chunk, if you can fetch a 1st perhaps?(not from Pitt though..likely late 1st) Duchene for Hagelin, Pouliot and 1st/2nd? Or Duchene for Mattaa + something? Avs can retain a million or two?

Provost Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I would say Granlund would be more likely than Sutter if any of our centers were if interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
