The Pens didn't even win the division last year. And the blue Jackets had the 3rd best record in the NHL last year.

Aside from the fact that trading the 24th overall pick isn't mortgaging the future, they were protecting proven players that are worth more than the 24th pick.

And they have the youngest team in the NHL.

Schenn was highly touted when drafted, Kings took him. Then dealt him to Philly. rumors a few years ago were a big deal with flyers/blues with both schenns to stl. But Blues didnt want the older brother.

And philly has a shite load of forwards, they had to unload a center/forward or 2. Cant pay them all.

I love the deal, they needed a centerman. Schenn can slide into #1 line, stastny 2nd and barbashev into 3rd line center. Already better than last year.

I know Washington won it. But in the playoffs the Pens "won" the division. Imo the Jackets won't win the division in that context. I think you keep your 1st always unless making a Gretzky type trade.

One year is a fluke can the Jackets repeat? Not sure they'll finish higher than Pens as doubt the Pens will be a skating MASH unit like they were this season.
