This is per Frank Seravalli this morning. Said pens looking to move Petry and believe the landing spot would be SJ (Interesting as i figured they'd be on his NTC list) but also that the return coming back would possibly be Kahkonen. Didn't have a great year in SJ but only 26 and in fairness SJ was terrible last year.
If this is the case that tells me that DeSmith is going out the door somewhere and Kahkonen becomes the new backup?
would net the penguins $3.5M in cap space. Would imagine there may be a pick involved.
That is who I was referring to but I doubt it anyways
it'd cost far too much and the salary would need to be eaten by two teams IMO. He's 33 and basically Letang, I get he won the Norris but just probably costs way too much. I'd take Barabanov though, one year left at $2.5M or Lebanc
That would be a bit of a scary move as the market for UFA right handed defenseman is pretty terrible imo. I would assume it means another trade would already be in the works for Petry's replacement - but not sure who that might be.
