Zad to see you go but we are hoping we found a Juul
The Pittsburgh Penguins have started to look towards next season. They came together for a deal with the 2nd place Tampa Bay Lightning that see's the lightning bolster their lineup for this season.
To Pens:
Noah Juulsen
Jordan Oesterle
Gab Bourque
To Lightning:
Nikita Zadorov
Carl Hagelin
Martin Fehervary
2nd
This was a lot to pay for Juulsen and we lost a lot in the ratings department, however after doing a little more research on Oesterle I feel that he will make a great 3rd pairing D for us next season and comes with a minimal cap hit. Combined with Juulsen this will give us a solid 3rd paring D line making just 1.75 million next season.
We feel this is a win-win as Tampa gets a lot better now without sacrificing long term and we get the fit we were looking for on the blueline.
