Penguins Free Agent Possibles: 3 Options for Offense or Physicality
The Pittsburgh Penguins have a chance to veer off course, and that’s not a bad thing. With about $10 million in salary cap space, the Penguins also have a chance to re-fortify their skill in the top six, perhaps finding competent filler for the hole left by the Jake Guentzel trade. Or, Penguins president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas could take an entirely different approach, reshaping the Penguins’ identity.
Dan’s Daily: Gibson Trade Chatter; Championship Belt; Defining Penguins Off-Season
Now the NHL trade chatter is getting a bit more interesting. Welcome back to the chat, Anaheim Ducks, who are listening to offers for goalie John Gibson and talented forward Trevor Zegras. The Stanley Cup Final is ready to begin, and the WWE is putting up a championship belt. The Utah Yeti, er, hockey team is down to six possible nicknames for their inaugural season. And a reader asked perhaps the best question we’ve ever received for the Pittsburgh Penguins Q&A.
Penguins Q&A: The Off-Season, UFA Targets, Mock Trades

Dan’s Daily: Marner, Necas Trade Chatter; Overlooked Penguins
Round and round the NHL trade chatter goes, where it stops, not even Elliotte Friedman, Frank Seravalli, or Pierre LeBrun knows. It sounds like Mitch Marner has taken himself off the trade block but is weighing public perception as he does so. The Carolina Hurricanes could trade Martin Necas by Saturday. The New Jersey Devils are reportedly willing to pony up their 10th overall pick for a goalie, and we looked at some of the more important emotional Pittsburgh Penguins stories that we glossed over in the wake of strings of dark losses.
Penguins Live Chat: Available UFAs, Kyle Dubas, and the Power Play
(PHN Studio) — The Pittsburgh Penguins live chat jumped off the rails early, and the breadth of topics readers wanted to discuss ranged from Kyle Dubas’s GM style to P.O Joseph and Owen Pickering’s future with the club. It was an impressive array of discussions. With host Dan Kingerski, the editor-in-chief of the Sports Now Group and Pittsburgh Hockey Now behind the mic, the live chat moved quickly and hit on some controversial topics.
The Emotional Penguins Stories We Overlooked
It seemed like a neverending series of dramatic storylines, disappointments, and frustration.

Dan’s Daily: Penguins FA Prices, Goalies on the Market, McDavid Overrated?!
Goalies are still the hot commodity on the NHL trade block. We looked at the Pittsburgh Penguins’ free agents and their projected contracts. Put down the sharp objects, Florida newspapers. The media establishment that spends very little time and money covering the Florida Panthers all season is now showing up with lots of opinions before the Stanley Cup Final, and it’s going as well as you might expect. Lastly, the Vancouver Canucks are trying to get their hands on Martin Necas but are having trouble meeting the Carolina Hurricanes price tag.
Updated Penguins Free Agent Projections; P.O Gets Paid?
Two restricted free agents have contracts. That’s two down for the Pittsburgh Penguins and one to go. Last month, Penguins president of hockey operations/GM Kyle Dubas got the equivalent of a Groupon when he signed defenseman Jack St. Ivany to a three-year deal at only $775,000 per year and signed Jonathan Gruden to a two-year deal at the same average annual value.
