Scott Laughlin: “Lars Ellen will get traded to Washington. What do you make of the Pittsburgh scenario? As a result of, you already know, I tweetd out in watching that sport the opposite night time, after 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 forms 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? How you can rectify it? Can it’s rectified? Can it’s salvaged? In Pittsburgh? What do you consider the Penguins?”

Elliotte Friedman: “I don’t suppose it’s a straightforward repair. That’s primary. Commerce-wise, I might anticipate to see much more of that sort of commerce. I believe they’ve received (Marcus) Pettersson. I believe he’ll be an fascinating goal for just a few 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 just a few completely different locations. And I believe that that’s a participant that can have some curiosity, for certain.

Pittsburgh Penguins Problems Don’t All Fall on Kyle Dubas

Not shocked that Eller went. I believe these are the strikes. I believe you’re going to see, the large guys. I don’t suppose (Sidney) Crosby’s going anyplace. I actually imagine that if he needed to go someplace. He wouldn’t have prolonged. I don’t suppose Malkin’s going anyplace, except for no matter motive he says he desires to go, however I don’t see that proper now.

You realize Letang? I’ve had just a few conversations during the last couple of minutes about Letang. The actually difficult factor about him is, even when he needed to go away guys, the accidents and the contract.

I simply suppose there are some questions on how a lot his contract is definitely insured and that I believe that might be a problem for individuals however the one man, I believe, is fascinating, and once more, he’s received quite a lot of say on it check out Karlsson’s contract construction.

After this yr, the money truly drops. And I do know Karlsson’s taking quite a 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 suppose that that could be a dialog that might occur, if Karlsson desires it to occur. Relating to Mike Sullivan he received 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.”
