NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins And Nashville Predators
Scott Laughlin: “Lars Ellen will get traded to Washington. What do you make of the Pittsburgh scenario? As a result of, you realize, I tweetd out in watching that recreation the opposite night time, once they’re down on Corridor of Fame induction night time, they’re down 6-0 to Dallas in their very own barn after 20 minutes of play. I tweeted out like these are the sorts of performances that get coaches fired, and that actually hasn’t occurred up till this level.
Kyle Dubas decides to make a commerce yesterday(Tuesday) to ship Eller again to Washington anyhow. And what do you make of that scenario, the place it’s at proper now? What may occur? The right way to rectify it? Can it’s rectified? Can it’s salvaged? In Pittsburgh? What do you consider the Penguins?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I don’t assume it’s a simple repair. That’s primary. Commerce-wise, I might count on to see much more of that type of commerce. I feel they’ve obtained (Marcus) Pettersson. I feel he’ll be an attention-grabbing goal for a number of groups. I had a few guys inform me to look at Logan O’Connor. He’s not a man who makes a ton of cash, and he suits. Like he can play in a number of totally different locations. And I feel that that’s a participant that may have some curiosity, for certain.
Pittsburgh Penguins Issues Don’t All Fall on Kyle Dubas
Not shocked that Eller went. I feel these are the strikes. I feel you’re going to see, the large guys. I don’t assume (Sidney) Crosby’s going wherever. I actually imagine that if he wished to go someplace. He wouldn’t have prolonged. I don’t assume Malkin’s going wherever, except for no matter purpose he says he needs to go, however I don’t see that proper now.
Letang? I’ve had a number of conversations during the last short time about Letang. The actually difficult factor about him is, even when he wished to go away guys, the accidents and the contract.
I simply assume there are some questions on how a lot his contract is definitely insured and that I feel that will be a problem for individuals however the one man, I feel, is attention-grabbing, and once more, he’s obtained a number of say on it check out Karlsson’s contract construction.
NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins and Marcus Pettersson
After this yr, the money really drops. And I do know Karlsson’s taking a number of warmth. He hasn’t performed nicely this yr, and I noticed the place Johan Garpenlöv was one of many prime executives in Sweden, took a run at his play the opposite day. However like Karlsson’s, money does drop below the cap, particularly after his bonus is paid July 1st.
So I do assume that that could be a dialog that might occur, if Karlsson needs it to occur. In relation to Mike Sullivan he obtained a giant extension that was possession pushed. You would need to persuade me that possession has soured on him. That’s what you would need to do.”
