Pittsburgh, PA

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a tough spot right now, as they would like to get back into the playoff picture but don’t quite have the strength in their lineup to be able to do that. Heading into the 2024-25 season, one thing that remains a potential issue that looms over the team is forward Sidney Crosby and his contract situation. He has yet to sign an extension since becoming eligible on July 1, and fans have begun to get concerned as every day passes. While being worried about a potential trade makes sense considering the Penguins are retooling and won’t make the playoffs this season, and Crosby is on an expiring deal, there is almost no way he will play a game in any other jersey during his career. It’s time to put the Crosby trade rumors to rest, especially with the recent report from trusted pundit Rob Rossi.

Daily Hockey Trivia – Ovechkin Goals, Tom Glavine & A $1 Trade

The NHL has been around for a very long time; at the time of writing, it is 106 years old. The Calgary Flames entered the league in 1972, originally operating out of Atlanta, Georgia as the Atlanta Flames. They operated for eight seasons there until financial difficulties forced their owner to sell the team to a group of Calgary businessmen. That group moved the Flames to “Cowtown” before the 1980-81 season. The flaming ‘a’ was changed to a flaming ‘c’, season tickets were sold by the thousands, and a new era began. The first stretch of the new-era Flames was immensely successful; the team qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs every season from 1980-81 until 1988-89.

Rumors swirl around Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler's future as he faces the last year of his contract. After a season marred by injury, where he played only 60 games, his trade value may never be higher. A proposed blockbuster deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, swapping Butler for 26-year-old Desmond Bane, could redefine both teams' trajectories.
