I think there were a couple even more minor trades earlier this week but I can't be bothered to look them up.

Now Dahlin will have a gud man, gud pro to learn the ropes from.

Is that the going rate for taking on 5ish M of salary dump?

Pittsburgh has about 10 million in cap space. I wonder if they take a run at both JVR and Bozak.  I imagine they only do that if they are planning on keeping Phil.

Jack Johnson seems to be rumoured to be landing in Pittsburg on a 5 yr deal.  Plus they have Oleksiak to resign, and a few depth forward spots to fill.  I highly doubt JvR or Bozak are going there.  (Bozak especially... they have Brassard at 3C)

(Edit.  I thought the tweet said 5M AAV.)
(Edit 2.  Matt Cane's salary projection for JJ @ 5 yrs is 3.9M AAV. )
Edit 3... https://twitter.com/JMackeyPG/status/1012055820228595712
 
He is over-rated (though I didn't know he was "replacement level").  But the over-rated guys usually go for 5+ million ...

If you're looking at offensive production only, Jack Johnson from like 4 seasons ago, yes. Today's Jack Johnson, taking defensive acumen into account? Nope.
 
Here's a fun one.... who would you rather have?  Zaitsev or Johnson, on their current/reported contracts.

I may be in the minority, but I'd prefer Zaitsev.

+1 Team Z

While we're at it: Martin Marincin or Cody Franson > JJ.

I forgot entirely about Brassard.  Yeah, there goes that theory.

Hopefully not a steal for his parents.

Cool, cool. 1-year contract with an average annual value of $1M.

Boilerplate text except it really isn't.
