Bottom 6 possibility?

[Steve Dave]

Not sure if this would work but a lot of you have been stating that the Pens' bottom 6 isn't tough enough. The Kings were rumored to be looking for a top 6 LW but are pressed against the Cap.
How about the Pens send Jokinnen to LA for Clifford, retaining half of Jokinen's salary, making the cap traded pretty much the same ($1.05 mil to LA vs $1.075 mil to Pit). Possibly a pick could beninvolved to even out the trade.
LA gets a top 6 LW and Pit gets tougher (and younger) in their bottom 6. Another trade (Niskanen for pick or prospect) would need to be made to get cap compliant.

Ssssshhhhhhh!


Its the off season. ;)

LA wouldn't move Clifford for Jokinen. They just re-signed Clifford to a new deal.

Clifford would fit perfectly on this club but I don't see us getting him...

Thinking more along the lines of Travis Moen....

they wouldn't put Iginla on Sid's right wing why would they put Bennett there? ( don't get me wrong i like the line but it will never happen)

Sid was coming back from a gruesome injury, with little time to get used to new linemates during the playoffs. Perhaps with a full season, blysma will experiment a little.

Clifford is slow, dumb, and skates like he has two left feet.

Spoiler:

[MRandall25]

So he's Eric Tangradi?

Maybe Clifford the dog. Kyle Clifford is an actual NHL hockey player.

I see what you did there...

IMHO DB starts the season experimenting with different line combos and doesn't stop til the season ends. That's the frustrating part for me.
