Maybe PIT doesn't even become a trading partner. Poolman and Rathbone for Marino sounds fair I don't know if it has been mentioned, but Pittsburgh has 4.75 million in cap space; they may be able to provide a bit of that for us. In other words, it doesn't have to be a cap-for-cap trade with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman doesn't think there's a deal to be made - Marino is a target for Vancouver but he doesn't think they can pull off the trade. Wouldn't surprise me if Pittsburgh is only interested in Miller from the Canucks. Garland hasn't made much of an impact of the scoresheet and neither has Boeser - not exactly the pieces a contender in win-now mode would necessarily want to add. Miller on the other hand could make a real impact with the way he is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller on the other hand could make a real impact with the way he is playing. Zucker should return sometime relatively soon after the trade deadline. Zucker (lower body) participated in Monday's morning skate, per Dave Molinari of DKPittsburghSports.com. Zucker skated Monday for the first time since being placed on long-term injured reserve Jan. 24. The 30-year-old has averaged 15:33 of ice time -- 1:50 during the power play -- and registered 13 points over 31 games this season. He appears to still be on track for an early-to-mid March return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can't really do anything this TDL unless it's a cap-in / cap-out type trade. The extra cap space they currently have will all go towards activating him off LTIR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am speculating that the only player that would make them consider parting with Marino is Miller, so it's hard to see how a deal would work out for both teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 4 D ahead of him in TOI, 5 if you include the rookie Pierre-Oliver Joseph who’s been trusted more in his first 4 games on average in terms of TOI. Pettersson has 3 more years at 4.025M. They probably try to move him before Marino I reckon. Edited March 14, 2022 by Junkyard Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel close to the Cup and will go all in while they have Sid and Gino. I'm not too sure we want the Mariano guy. He's not the best skater and plays small and soft. And provides no offence. Have to be something like Dickinson and Poolman for Mariano and picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Letang due for a new contract after this year, Dumoulin after next, to me it seems they’ve been rotating in a few players on D to see where they fit on depth chart going forward especially as Letang will be 37 next season. I’d imagine Joseph will be a big part of their future and after this season will really start to play an even more prominent role in shaping that group.
