The Envelope, Please. And the Penguins’ Winners Are …
The NHL is in the process of handing out individual honors and awards earned during the regular season and, to the surprise of absolutely no one, the Pittsburgh Penguins will come out of the process empty-handed. That’s generally the fate of any team that doesn’t play well enough to claim...
Dan’s Daily: Penguins Dish Contracts, Former Pens in Demand, Lightning Trade
The Pittsburgh Penguins perfectly executed a news drip Tuesday as they announced several new contracts, including a pair of RFAs and a free agent Czech defenseman with ties to president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas. With the help of Blood Sweat and Tears, we looked at why the Penguins’ coaching vacancies remain unfilled. Elsewhere in the Daily, former Penguins in Vancouver have set themselves up for a payday this summer, the Tampa Bay Lightning and Nashville Predators pulled the first trade of the offseason, and Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer will turn to prayer to defend Connor McDavid.
Penguins Sign Big Czech Free Agent D-man with Dubas Connection
Moments after announcing the organization signed emerging NHL regular defenseman Jack St. Ivany to a three-year deal, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Czechian free agent D-man Filip Kral to a one-year deal. The contract carries a salary cap hit of $775,000 at the NHL level, though the Penguins did not immediately...
Penguins Re-Sign Jack St. Ivany, Gruden to Multi-Year Deals
The Pittsburgh Penguins took care of two of their restricted free agents Tuesday, signing Jack St. Ivany to a three-year, bargain deal and Jonathan Gruden to a two-year deal. Both deals carry a $775,000 salary cap hit. St. Ivany, 24, made his NHL debut on March 22 against Dallas. The...
Penguins Unfilled Jobs Caught on Coaching Carousel; Two Have Ties to Dubas
There is no organ music or bobbing plastic horses, but the NHL coaching carousel is nonetheless spinning. When it may stop seems to be as great a mystery as who will fill the four NHL head coaching vacancies, and the Pittsburgh Penguins seem to find themselves caught waiting for the teams to fill the big jobs.
Dan’s Daily: Bruins, Islanders Trade Talk; Penguins Reunion Debate
It is not unprecedented. Vezina-winning goalies don’t often hit the NHL trade block, but Boston Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark is openly discussing his potential departure. We put forth a few former Pittsburgh Penguins who could be ripe for a reunion, and defenseman Erik Karlsson is certainly making his points. The Vancouver Canucks’ season is over as they couldn’t finish the Edmonton Oilers, who won Games 6 and 7, advancing to the Western Conference Final. And the Philadelphia Flyers ace prospect from Russia might sneak away a couple of years ahead of schedule.
Penguins Notebook: Karlsson Makes His Point(s)
It was been a fairly busy day at the world championships for members of the Pittsburgh Penguins, with four of them — Sweden’s Erik Karlsson and Marcus Pettersson and Jesse Puljujarvi and Valtteri Puustinen of Finland — in action. Karlsson, as has often been the case during...

Exclusive: Penguins’ Top Pick Brayden Yager–Bigger, Faster, & On a Roll (+)
In the last few months, 19-year-old Brayden Yager has gained a few pounds of muscle in the weight room, picked up a step on the ice, set career highs with 35 goals and 90 points, and led his Moose Jaw Warriors to their first WHL championship and first berth in the Memorial Cup.
Dan’s Daily: Latest RFA Rumors; How Insiders View Penguins
Have you ever wondered just how those on the inside of the hockey industry view the Pittsburgh Penguins? Pittsburgh Hockey Now asked and the story was quite a read as one insider didn’t hold back, though his review was glowing. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan was tabbed for quite the honor from Team USA. Elsewhere in the Daily, the latest NHL rumors and reports on the top 12 restricted free agents, the Carolina Hurricanes trade rumors, and the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers need a Game 7.
Penguins’ Mike Sullivan Named 2026 Team USA Olympic Coach, Four Nations Face-Off

Agent: UFAs Should Be Drawn to Penguins
Sure, he knows that the Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the NHL’s oldest teams. And, yeah, he’s aware that they have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for two years in a row and haven’t won a postseason series since 2018. He also understands that they often must...
Penguins Wrap: A Core Conundrum; Magic in Moose Jaw
The past seven days have been relatively quiet for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Around Pittsburgh, anyway. But their players and prospects were having an impact around the hockey world, everywhere from the world championships in Czechia to the Western Hockey League title round on the far side of Canada. Here’s how...
Penguins Blog: Stories I Didn’t Publish
There are a dozen different issues with the Pittsburgh Penguins, not the least of which is the collision of perceptions and results between the first 68 games and the last 14. The Penguins stunk. And then they didn’t as they began to win the battles not only against their opponents but themselves.
Dan’s Daily: Canucks’ Pittsburgh Hero, Penguins Debates, Trade Scenarios
The seconds were ticking down toward overtime, then in the final 31 seconds, the Vancouver Canucks scored the game-winning goal when Pittsburgh native J.T. Miller capped a great game by burying a rebound goal. Canucks win and have a 3-2 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers. Also in the Daily, we look at unrestricted free agents for the Pittsburgh Penguins to avoid, giving credit and blame to Penguins president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas, and the Penguins draft order is set after the Carolina Hurricanes blew a two-goal third-period lead and were eliminated by the New York Rangers. In the NHL trade speculation, Kevin McGran at the Toronto Star put together four deals for Mitch Marner.
Penguins Draft Order Set; Denied First-Round Pick
The New York Rangers rallied from a two-goal third period deficit to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3 at PNC Arena Thursday. Chris Kreider had a third-period hat trick, and the Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Final, in the process denying the Pittsburgh Penguins a first-round pick. New York beat...
Nedeljkovic Gets Easiest Shutout For Team USA
Alex Nedeljkovic, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ free-agent-to-be goaltender, earned one of the easiest shutouts of his pro career Thursday. Perhaps the easiest of his life, for that matter.

Penguins Free Agency: 3 Big-Name UFAs to Avoid
NHL general managers make more mistakes on July 1 than any other day on the hockey calendar. Impulsive or panic moves toss stacks of cash toward players who may have once been worthy or never will be, but GMs stuck in the cage of the feeding frenzy need to improve their team lest they suffer the wrath of ownership or fans. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been there and done that.
Molinari: Give Kyle Dubas Credit, Even if You Blame Him
It would have been easy for Kyle Dubas to conclude that it is time for the Pittsburgh Penguins to get a new coach. After all, they have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for two years in a row and haven’t won a series in the postseason since 2018. What’s more, Dubas isn’t the guy who hired Mike Sullivan in the first place.
Penguins’ Top Pick Brayden Yager Wins Championship
Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Brayden Yager had an explosive playoff run, and the Moose Jaw Warriors sliced through the WHL playoffs, culminating in a WHL championship and a berth in the Memorial Cup tournament.
