NYI receives
- Bryan Rust (50% retained both seasons)
- Sean Durzi
PIT receives
- Andrew Mangiapane
- 2024 1st (up to PIT on if it’s mine or Colorado’s)
- Robin Salo
- Otto Koivula
- Adam Gaudette
- Urho Vaakanainen
- Gustav Lindstrom
Pittsburgh gets the best player in this deal as Mangiapane is much younger than Rust. I’ve been hemming and hawing about how to get cap compliant for weeks now. I have a crap load of young fringe players that have gotten a taste of the NHL but hamper my budget/ roster construction.
I think this is a swell deal given the current state of both organizations, as I get some cap room and two bona fides, while the Pens get younger, some depth and a first.
Pleasure doing business!
