Pierre LeBrun - Carolina, New Jersey, and Colorado are a few teams who made offers to Brandon Saad on day one of free agency

those teams have cap space, Pens do not…

So..no goalies available now. Great.
All part of Hextall’s master plan.

We are going to try it again with Jarry next season.

It’s a tough sell even if we make an offer on a goalie because who wants to come to a team with 2 goalies already?

Ummm. So Vancouver loses Edler and Schmidt. Gonna go ahead and say they may have some mild interest in Pettersson.

Only for the reason that they get fuzzy feelings from the name Pettersson?

Are they related at all? Those Canucks love having relatives.

The Penguins were never going to sign a free agent goalie.

Everyone has been saying from the beginning that a goalie acquisition would come via trade. Why? Because that's where the best goalies are. Outside of Grubauer, who was never going to come here, every goalie signed today is at best equal to Jarry/DeSmith.

There was no real upgrade today.

I swear if people actually read what was reported, they'd save themselves a lot of heartburn. Rossi, Yohe, Vensel, DeFabo, etc all said a goalie would be more likely to come via a trade because the Penguins would need to ship salary out in the deal.

Their LD is currently Hughes and OEL likely making a combined 14+ mil. Highly doubt they want to add an additional 4.

I have it on good authority Petts has been working on his RD prowess. Problem solved. He's also gotten a bit more lean this summer so far. Very dedicated.
