Default Finally a Big Islander Trade

To Pittsburgh:

Craig Anderson
Craig Smith
Dmitri Jaskin

To NYI:

Corey Crawford
Nathan Beaulieu

Anderson is gonna be so bad this year and is so expensive. Crawford had a great, yet brief, year. Selling high on Smith to make up the difference, we don't really need him anyway. Beaulieu is better than Jaskin.

Thanks Goffie!

What conditions are included in the deal? Surely there must be one.

Last season we ran into CON issues with our goalies before we acquired Crawford. With Crawford only playing 28 games last season we saw that as being an issue again. We did not want a 10 million dollar man who could not log big mins. Anderson had a poor year but still played a lot of mins and I think the numbers have a lot to do with how bad the Sens were.

It was an offseason goal to add depth in the forward position and by adding two forwards that helped us do that.

That being said all 3 players being acquired are now on the block.

Thanks scorp for the offer it was a deal that fit our needs.

Smiths tenure in Pittsburgh didn’t last long. He was flipped to the Wings for JG Pageau.

The Pens had a surplus of scorers and needed a defensive 3rd liner.

Anderson is involved in talks to move out of town as well.
