LATEST TRADE DEADLINE BUZZ
PENGUINS STRIKE TWO DEALS
[hide]
To Pittsburgh: Mark Steit
To Tampa Bay: 2018 4th round pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired defenseman Mark Streit from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a 2018 fourth-round draft pick. Streit had been acquired by the Lightning from the Philadelphia Flyers earlier in the day and then flipped to Pittsburgh.
Streit will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
The 39-year-old blueliner had 21 points (5G-16A) in 49 games with the Flyers this year, where he was logging 19:23 overall minutes, with 2:32 of that time on ice coming on the power play.
To Pittsburgh: Frank Corrado
To Toronto: Eric Fehr, Steve Oleksy, 2017 4th round pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Frank Corrado from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Eric Fehr, Steve Oleksy and a 2017 fourth-round draft pick.
Corrado will report to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League.
Corrado, 23, has 12 points (1G-11A) and is plus-6 in 18 AHL games with the Toronto Marlies this year. He appeared in two games with the Maple Leads this season.
The puck moving defenseman has eight points (3G-5A) in 69 career NHL games split between Toronto and the Vancouver Canucks.
11:30 a.m.: Pens still courting Kulikov: The Penguins are in on more than one defenseman but the team is waiting on Buffalo’s Dmitry Kulikov before moving on to others.
Crickets on Fleury Market: Five hours until the trade deadline and a market for Marc Andre Fleury has yet to develop. Penguin sources continue to call a trade unlikely. Sources say Calgary has not engaged the Penguins in talks over the last couple days and we’ll see if that changes throughout the rest of the day. The goaltending market right now is centered around Jarsolav Halak and there’s at least team looking at Ryan Miller.

Penguins have talked Vrbata/Duclair: The Penguins continuing to poke around on adding a forward due to the injury to Bryan Rust, have had discussions with the Coyotes about Radim Vrbata. Vrbata, 35, has 15 goals and 47 points on the season. Craig Custance of ESPN reports the Bruins, Flames are also among the teams with interest. Vrbata has a $250,000 playoff bonus + additional $250,000 for each round that the team he is on advances, so he carries risk with the performance bonuses for next season. Lots of talk of Anthony Duclair. Pittsburgh has checked into the asking price of Duclair also as the Coyotes are testing the market.
Penguins have 3rd/4th round grade on Quincey: The Penguins remain on the hunt for a defenseman and have three targets they are considering. Former Penguins GM Ray Shero is holding out for a 2nd round pick for Kyle Quincey, though, most believe he’ll go for a third rounder. Penguins monitoring that market.
NHL Source: Penguins on Shane Doan’s six-team list: Veteran forward Shane Doan provided the Phoenix Coyotes a list of six teams he’d consider waiving his no trade clause to, though, few around the league believe he’ll be moved. The Penguins are one of the six, a source close to Doan says. That said, it’s a moot point, Pittsburgh is not interested.
Penguins Trade Bait
Marc Andre Fleury
Eric Fehr
Olli Maatta
Derrick Pouliot[/hide]
I think Kane is American.
I suppose you’re right
Crosby again nothing… should have added a winger like… Connor fucken Sheary lol
Toews misses a wide open net, kane drills it home on the backhand from a very tough angle
7 odd man rushes…. can’t wait for yodas two cents
Toews just missed a wide open net
Incredible play by the Blackhawks captain Patrick Kane.
Has anyone seen Crosby?
He’s due to score again soon… it’s coming
Hopefully before the playoffs
I get that he won’t score every game… but this game is big talent. Was hoping he’d show up
He did fuck all last night too
That Hanik goal was nice. But it wasn’t a difficult shot and Fleury should have stopped it. The first was five hole garbage.
Thats a joke right?
Has to be
What? Ya I hate it when my tender fails to stop the leagues reigning MVP…
Now pens have too many D who will come off once maattaa, letang daily and streit in lineup
Daley won’t be back for a while.
“Too many D” when you add two legit top six too a team but still need AHL guys in the game, there is no such thing
Cole has to work on his puck management skills in his own end fuck!
#28 and #4 been a nightmare to watch tonight
He was seeing ghosts that last shift
Toews stealing another game check
Wonder how many times they’re going to hang MAF out to dry tonight
Are you kidding me it’s all fleury’s fault. Just ask Yoda
Lazyyy Russian
That laziness reminded me of Gonchar in the playoffs when moen passed him with ease
Reminded me of Toews. Every game. Or Letang sitting home with his bag of cool ranch Doritos.
Toews playing some good hockey lately and tonight as well while Parise is home faking Mumps
He looks like a passable third line center tonight….that costs $10.5 million a year
Wow
I knew that was in the net….
Drive for 23 alive
Good choice but using fleury tonight I can’t picture Murray in this game he is not as athletic as fleury
Fleury needs to show Murray glove
DK’s site didn’t crash today. That is all.
Man, I hope the Pens land Washington in the playoffs. Shattenkirk improves them a lot but people are acting like it’s the cup move. Fuck that, this team can still win ffs
Imagine if fleury was traded today how well Murray would’ve played tonight. Schultz suckss tonight
Hey Yoda the poke checked worked again
The glove worked again as well
Yodas a stupid cuntt
Yoda earlier said pens will need 4 in order to win for fleury. But little that he knows pens also needed 4 last night in order to give the W for Murray
Fleury makes a glove save Murray would only dream of.
Murray fears MAFs glove hand
The same way yoda fears MAFs package.
Holy glove hand Murray.. that was pretty
Fears it or laments that it will never fill the hole it left on him again?
I bet Fleury plays awesome the rest of the year. Clear mind
tonights prophecy, with st.bleury in, the pens need 4 to win! all hail!
Last night Pens also needed 4 to win for Murray but failed to bail him out
That’s because Crosby kept passing to the other team dude
Odin!
Do you ever get tired of being a fucken dumb cuntt?
the prophecy will be fullfilled in the summer. st.backup will be bought out and out of hockey. bow down to your prophet! all hail st.bleury!!!!!
the pens did not upgrade enough. crosby is still skating with 3rd liners. that won’t cut it against the caps loaded blue line. the pens have about a 10% chance of beating the caps now. the season will be lost because the pens were too focused at the beginning of the season focusing on the feelings of their cuntry club members. they would not move their beloved smiley faced son st.bleury at the beginning of the year acting like he was going to win the job back from murray or fetch a huge return at the deadline. hahahahaha! what a… Read more »
Sounds like you’re saying to cash it in. Again. Worked so well last year. Idiot.
Here’s an idea let Crosby and Malkin earn their 9 million a year and take control
“Crosby still skating with the same two guys they won a cup with last year” -yodumfuck… you’re a huge festering blister on the anus of a very obese elephant. Kill yourself
Fraud Vanek getting paid by 3 different team now lol
Fraud letang getting paid by one to sit at home and watch tv. Brittle frog. Soooooo brittle.
Sam is the real insider on pittsburgh sports!!!
Good to see SameTheTechMan crashed the site again.
It’s really frustrating when this site goes down every year. For now on, D, you should lock the site as “password/subscription only” 48 hours before any trade deadline. Those who want to see updates will subscribe to get in. You’ll likely get a few new subscribers and the rest of us who pay will actually be able to access the content when it matters most because visitors won’t keep crashing the site. Just a thought… .
Maybe this site can handle 15-20 visitors at a time
Your 3 accounts can’t be helping.
Amen.
Owned!
Fleury in net let’s hope pens don’t lose vs another backup goalie tonight
Got to love living in Montreal had TVA. RDS TSN and sports net. Covering the TD while most of you miserable morons were enjoying this site crash. D you are a con man getting away with this for 8 years you need to go to jail before Hilary lol
Lol, TSN is nation for English Canada… you get RDS… the French station tag loosely translated to Retarded Dumb Shits
Let’s hope the Penguins two new defensemen can stay awake during the first round. At age 40 I started to get sleepy around 7 pm
Yes, I pay for this site so I get the latest breaking news.
Another successful year, D. Great job.
At least it’s success while you and your black lives matter group have no success
This crap happens every year and you still can’t figure it out?
So are we getting refunds for this joke of a site, D?
talking to d! hahaha. that’ll get you answers. what an engaged blogger. he loves his patrons
Some big names still up for grabs… will the Pens make a move?
Quincey to jackets for Prout
Blow it up.
Blow up this site, its useless.
This is embarrassing trade deadline coverage….
Is pappy not going to do anything
GMJR bring back jagr lol also
Vrbata left practice he is about to be traded
I want my money back. This is ridiculous… every damn year
D should give our money back. Or be more tolerant about bigotry or watch npl’s ex cheating on him on this site
You’ve got attachment issues.
After today this site should shut down and never run again
What dont you pretend it has
Make a move Grampaaaaa!!!!!!
Habs working to get vrbata hope pens get him
Fuck Doan!
D. King to Montreal.
Habs are finally adding size
Makes you excited.. I hear you like your boys big!
#wannabecanadian
D can you update us how many times this site crashed today?
Of course no one wants Fleury.
st.crickets
The probably took him off the market when they realized Murray can’t catch a pop fly.
Apparently pens needed 4 in order to win the game last night for Murray
How many years is this now where the site crashes on deadline day? Lol
There is zero action going on and D still can’t keep the site up consistently.
You know what the issue is – there’s not enough visits here throughout the year to warrant paying for extra bandwidth for one day. It’s common sense.
You know what is the issue you and npl each use your 3 accounts on this day
Thats such BS, people pay for this site. Not to mention it happens every single year.
Doan can go F himself, hes years past his expiry date
Balls Deep
