Let's Go Pens! Ru

Elliotte Friedman on 32TP this morning:

"I heard rumors that Todd Nelson, who won a couple of Calder Cups with the Hershey Bears, he could end up in Pittsburgh. So, we'll see where this goes."

Ну да, у нас же все отлично было с вратарями))

Нам же выше профессор пояснил, что проблема не во вратарях, а в игре команды в обороне.

Penguins Announce 2025-26 Pre-Season Schedule

https://www.nhl.com/penguins/news/pengu ... m_medium=x

Не верят в Салли

Но в целом разумно, я бы тоже предпочел не рисковать и отдать пик в этом году

Pierre LeBrun

Part of the thinking in keeping next year's 1st Rd pick instead is that it might be a trade chip next season at the deadline if Rangers bounce back and contend.

Либо первый пик, либо контендер, по ходу сезона решат)

Kevin Weekes

Among the many items being discussed in the CBA negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA @wyshynski and I can report that a potential change from 82 to 84 regular season games is among them.


Pierre LeBrun

I've reported on this before, but the idea in going to 84 regular season games starting in '26-27 would be in conjunction with reducing the pre-season as part it, perhaps going down to 4 pre-season games.

Some potentially HUGE changes coming in the next CBA, which could be announced tomorrow, per @frank_seravalli:

-Full time EBUGs
-84-game regular season
-No player dress codes
-Max 6 year deals for FAs, 7 years for re-signings
-Playoff salary cap mechanism, closes LTIR loophole

Darren Dreger

Several 1st round picks in play, especially with clubs with more than one.

Pitt will move 11/12 for the right young player.
Mtl would move 16/17. Habs need a top 6 F.
Philly wants to keep 6, but will trade 22/31.
Nashville has 5/23/26 and is still evaluating all options.

Elliotte Friedman:

I think Pittsburgh has been discussing moving up to 9 with Buffalo; they've talked about Bryan Rust - SN 590

Scott Wheeler

Don’t be surprised if the Penguins move into the top 10 tonight.

Pierre LeBrun

Interesting tweak in new CBA: on salary retention in trades, a second retention on the same contract can only happen 75 regular season days later. So it essentially nixes double retention with a third team involved as part of same overall deal.

With the 11th overall pick, the Penguins select C Benjamin Kindel!

5-foot-10, 180 pounds. Right shot.

65 games with Calgary (WHL) last season. Scored 99 points (35 goals, 64 assists).

Played with Penguins forward prospect Tanner Howe last season.
