Brandon Sutter
Pittsburgh is stale and needs some change. Sutter, a second line centre on an average team, has an AAV of $3.3 million this season as a third-line centre in Pittsburgh, but is a UFA next summer.
As always, the Penguins need scoring wingers for Crosby and Malkin — and no, we are hearing Penguins don’t wish to insert Kessel into that spot.
How about RW Jiri Hudler in Calgary? We’d bet Flames GM Brad Treliving would put Sutter behind Sean Monahan up the middle, with Michael Backlund at No. 3. Both are UFA’s after next season, though Sutter is five years younger. Throw in a 2nd round draft pick going Pittsburgh’s way and that’s a deal that Calgary may favour.

I don't know how I'd feel about this if it happened.
