NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins And Nashville Predators
Scott Laughlin: “Lars Ellen will get traded to Washington. What do you make of the Pittsburgh state of affairs? As a result of, , I tweetd out in watching that recreation the opposite evening, once they’re down on Corridor of Fame induction evening, they’re down 6-0 to Dallas in their very own barn after 20 minutes of play. I tweeted out like these are the kinds of performances that get coaches fired, and that definitely 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 state of affairs, the place it’s at proper now? What might occur? Find out how to rectify it? Can or not it’s rectified? Can or not it’s salvaged? In Pittsburgh? What do you concentrate on 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 bought (Marcus) Pettersson. I feel he’ll be an attention-grabbing goal for a number of groups. I had a few guys inform me to observe Logan O’Connor. He’s not a man who makes a ton of cash, and he matches. Like he can play in a number of totally different locations. And I feel that that’s a participant that can have some curiosity, for positive.
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 massive guys. I don’t assume (Sidney) Crosby’s going wherever. I actually consider that if he wished to go someplace. He wouldn’t have prolonged. I don’t assume Malkin’s going wherever, until for no matter cause he says he needs to go, however I don’t see that proper now.
You already know Letang? I’ve had a number of conversations during the last short while 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 may be a problem for individuals however the one man, I feel, is attention-grabbing, and once more, he’s bought a whole lot of say on it check out Karlsson’s contract construction.

After this yr, the money really drops. And I do know Karlsson’s taking a whole lot of warmth. He hasn’t performed effectively this yr, and I noticed the place Johan Garpenlöv was one of many high 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 would occur, if Karlsson needs it to occur. Relating to Mike Sullivan he bought an enormous 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.”
