I have been trying to think what team would be interested in taking that on? Perhaps the Islanders for Boychuk but the cap is almost the same and the term is just a year less so not sure if that makes any sense. Perhaps the Rangers for Girardi or Staal?

It would have to be a team who is in win now mode.

Do the Pens need a Dman? Does Gio for Kessel work? Cap and term wise it is a wash. Calgary gets a scoring RW but creates a huge hole on the blueline. Not sure Kessel would be the type of guy this team needs.

Gio would be a tough move to make
