Dan’s Daily: Sidney Crosby Speculation; RFA Madness
The Pittsburgh Penguins have sold salary cap space for draft picks but have also acquired a gaggle of players in the process, who, to be kind, are not players they would have targeted if winning now were the goal. Pittsburgh Hockey Now took dead aim at the pretense of remaining competitive with a strong undercurrent of rebuilding that president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas is undertaking. It seems several Hockey Now beat writers extrapolated the consequences of the St. Louis Blues’ RFA offer sheets to their own teams, both on the attack and defense. The NHL network released the Top 20 Wings, and multiple outlets seized on Sidney Crosby not yet signing a contract, including one in Montreal.

Russell Wilson to make his preseason debut when the Steelers host the Bills
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Russell Wilson is expected to be in the lineup when the Pittsburgh Steelers host Buffalo on Saturday night. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Thursday that Wilson will run out with the starters as long as he doesn’t have any setbacks from a calf injury that has slowed him during training camp. “He’s had a couple really good days (and) with each passing day (the injury) is less of an issue, and so we look forward to him participating in this home venue,” Tomlin said. Pittsburgh signed the nine-time Pro Bowler to a one-year deal in March. Tomlin has said for months that the 35-year-old Wilson is in “pole position” to be the starter when the regular season begins. That hasn’t changed even with Wilson ceding plenty of reps to Justin Fields during camp to deal with a balky calf.
