Penguins trade rumors tyler toffoli

The LA Kings finally sent winger Tyler Toffoli on his way as the rebuild in the land of make-believe continued. Wild NHL trade rumors popped up in Colorado yesterday after goalie Philipp Grubauer was injured in the Stadium Series game on Saturday. Alex Ovechkin has gone ice cold since the 700 club was within reach, and the TSN trade bait list has been updated.

A blockbuster for one of the Penguins goalies seems far fetched, at least this week. This summer, things may percolate. Colorado’s left-handed thumper defenseman Nikita Zadorov is an interesting name out there.

The big-name injuries and the number of teams which are decimated by injury this season has been frightening. It probably speaks to the increased speed of the game and the size of the players. Hockey is full of actions and reactions. Will we see another team like the grinding Stanley Cup-winning LA Kings rise?

Winnipeg would do well to shuffle the deck, just a little. Their big moment came and went, now they need a little refresher. Not every team gets a Stanley Cup when they peak.
