Scott Laughlin: “Lars Ellen will get traded to Washington. What do you make of the Pittsburgh state of affairs? As a result of, you recognize, 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 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 state of affairs, the place it’s at proper now? What might occur? How you can rectify it? Can or not it’s rectified? Can or not it’s salvaged? In Pittsburgh? What do you consider the Penguins?”

Elliotte Friedman: “I don’t suppose it’s a simple repair. That’s primary. Commerce-wise, I might anticipate to see much more of that type of commerce. I believe they’ve obtained (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 totally different locations. And I believe that that’s a participant that can have some curiosity, for positive.

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 wherever. I actually imagine that if he needed to go someplace. He wouldn’t have prolonged. I don’t suppose Malkin’s going wherever, except for no matter motive he says he needs to go, however I don’t see that proper now.

You realize Letang? I’ve had just a few conversations over the past short while about Letang. The actually difficult factor about him is, even when he needed to depart 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 may be a problem for folks however the one man, I believe, is fascinating, and once more, he’s obtained plenty of say on it check out Karlsson’s contract construction.

After this 12 months, the money really drops. And I do know Karlsson’s taking plenty of warmth. He hasn’t performed effectively this 12 months, 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 underneath the cap, particularly after his bonus is paid July 1st.

So I do suppose that that may be a dialog that would occur, if Karlsson needs it to occur. In the case of 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.”
