R/L Brandon Saad (64)
C/L Colin Wilson (75)
D Shea Theodore (82)
to Pittsburgh
C/R Mitchell Marner (71)
C/L Ryan Poehling (81)
D Chris Summers (80)
Don't like moving Saad at all, but while we lose a couple of capable top-6ers and only get one back, Marner is only 22 and gives us a dynamic offensive player to pair with Hughes that's similar in age which is a main thing I was looking for. Poehling at least helps replace some of the lost physicality. Theodore's a good, young defensive defenseman but he's become expendable in the long run with a couple of our recent picks, and Summers can be a short-term replacement for him while we wait for the young guys to develop.
