Scott Laughlin: “Lars Ellen will get traded to Washington. What do you make of the Pittsburgh scenario? As a result of, you understand, 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 sorts 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 scenario, the place it’s at proper now? What might 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 straightforward repair. That’s primary. Commerce-wise, I might anticipate to see much more of that type of commerce. I feel they’ve acquired (Marcus) Pettersson. I feel 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 feel that that’s a participant that can 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 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 desires to go, however I don’t see that proper now.
Letang? I’ve had just a few conversations during the last few minutes 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 folks however the one man, I feel, is fascinating, and once more, he’s acquired numerous say on it check out Karlsson’s contract construction.

After this 12 months, the money really drops. And I do know Karlsson’s taking numerous warmth. He hasn’t performed properly 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 below the cap, particularly after his bonus is paid July 1st.
So I do assume that that may be a dialog that would occur, if Karlsson desires it to occur. In terms of Mike Sullivan he acquired 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.”
