Dan’s Daily: Domi Deletes Canadiens, Penguins Goalie Trade Coming?

Before everything is confirmed or denied, it appears Pittsburgh Hockey Now will have more information later this morning on the potentially impending Pittsburgh Penguins trade. GM Jim Rutherford caused a ruckus on Monday when he told our colleague and competitor at The Athletic a deal involving a goalie was coming. We have a plethora of NHL trade rumors and speculation beginning, the Dallas Stars rallied for a dramatic win in Game 2, and the New York Islanders walloped the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1.

Try not to shed a tear when the Flyers lose, eh?

I usually don’t link to direct competitors, but Jim and Josh have a good relationship. And Josh is a good dude. I think PHN is going to have a follow-up story with more information soon. Maybe.

Also, in case you missed it, we’ve already answered the question — What is Matt Murray worth on the trade market? (PHN+)

Last week, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman stirred speculation when he predicted the Penguins would acquire Domi. Also, Montreal was reportedly unhappy that Poehling didn’t stay in better shape during the pandemic.
