Source: Penguins have been presented with ‘intriguing’ trade options ahead of draft
— The Pittsburgh Penguins have been presented with more than one trade option surrounding winger Phil Kessel that the team is mulling, ahead of this weekend’s NHL Entry Draft, sources tell Inside Pittsburgh Sports.
The Penguins continue to be wide open on Kessel, not committed to keeping him or trading him.
The goal for the Penguins in exploring Kessel’s trade market over the last month has been seeking options to add a different kind of player, notably a stronger 200 ft type player or multiple NHL pieces.
Trade talks have progressed with at least two teams where those type of scenarios are on the table that Pittsburgh could decide to move on, sources say.
Pittsburgh is also said to not be dead-set on getting a forward or forwards in return for Kessel. Pittsburgh has also explored at least one trade scenario in moving Kessel for a defenseman.

— While a Kessel trade is regarded as 50-50 this week, there is a bit of mystery surrounding Derick Brassard.
The Penguins message to other clubs has been that they planned to keep Brassard who the team still see’s as great value with a $3 million cap hit and Penguin coaches have also been open to playing Brassard on wing too next season if the Penguins did something surprising at center.
That said, there is a lot of interest in Brassard, particularly because the cap hit is so low.
The sense also seems to be with Brassard that Pittsburgh has been presented with at least one To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!

One thing is clear: Trump hates Canada but loves North Korea and Russia.
He also hates fat democrats.
He is damn near obese himself tho…
Personally I blame the sammich
He probably hates Canada because it’s infested with your kind of people lately. Dumb democrats
There are literally no democrats in Canada…
4 more years! 4 more years!
Canadians are smuggling sneakers across the border
Americans are smuggling illigal blacks across the border
They must think they are still in slave shipment years .
Practising their trade skills my polluting Canada
No wonder U.S unemployment rate went down under 4%. If only they can nuke flint Michigan and florida
U.S would have 0% unemployment rate then
Amazing how much offense you have taken to that post… it is from the mouth of the US Supreme Leader whose balls you wanna tickle lol
Kessel says he would except trade to Coyotes to play under RT. Not sure what they would have to offer or if they could even afford him.
that’s two thus far, shooter.
Malkin’s buddy James Neal is coming back to the Pens
I highly doubt that unless he takes a massive pay cut. The Pens have about $5 million in cap space and a super shitty defense.
They project at 70MM and the cap is expected at 81MM last I had read. I would argue it should come close to 80 at least so there is about 10MM although that should dry up quick with the UFAs needing resigning
I believe you are close to correct. They will have just under $10 million but they have players to sign so….
Yeah pens missed his dumb penalties. Like that he and malkin can make sure penalty box is always busy
Panarin not ready to sign extension with CBJ. Columbus may see if there is any market value for him.
Hoffman to Fla for a second, fourth and fifth. Flipped there from San Jose. Boedker to the Sens.
Guess I missed the article lol
So trotz leaves caps because they couldve give him 300k more for a total of 1.8m. This shows how league sees DB as a fraud. .
Trotz have 17 years under his belt a lot experience and a cup and yet fraud DB more money typical Pittsburgh hoopla. And this happens because db is American as I said Americans need to have half talent of league and get paid more then others
I have no idea what point youre trying to make, but its wrong.
Isn’t it clear? Americans need to have half talent of league and get paid more then others. DB more money Pittsburgh hoopla. The point he’s trying to make is that 1993 is the last time Montreal will experience any type of success in our lifetime.
Trotz was under contract, one that kicked in because of the cup win period. Since he signed with the Caps in 2014 coaching salaries sky-rocketed! The one most noted is the Babcock 50 million dollar deal! Quinnville got 6 million per, Julien got 5 million from the Habs, Vigneault, who has never won a damn thing, got 4 million. Even entry level coaching salaries have been over 2 million; the only coaches that would have been making less than Trotz next year would have been guys like Green, Boughner, Blashill and Tocchet.. at least for those known salaries.

Great post! This makes the Caps look cheap and disrespectful to other coaches.
If you are going to troll please learn how to proofread. It is like reading Yahoo articles.

Mike green oh god…he is horrible he was with the capitals too…just what we need another over priced offensive defense man who cant play defense…..
