Pittsburgh Penguins, NHL trade talk, Ian Cole

So it is possible. The NHL trade market’s doom and gloom were broken on Tuesday evening when the Colorado Avalanche dealt Ian Cole. It sure seemed like Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman hinted that a current NHL GM could be in line to be a future Pittsburgh Penguins GM, and the Penguins had an awful game, which turned into an unbelievable comeback win on Tuesday night.

NHL TRADE: Someone finally dipped another toe in the NHL trade waters. The Colorado Avalanche traded Ian Cole to Minnesota. Cole will be reunited with GM Billy Guerin, and Colorado gets space for young phenom Bo Byram (Colorado Hockey Now)

Great move for Guerin and Minnesota. They get a nails defenseman, and Colorado picked up part of his salary.

Speaking of former Pittsburgh Penguins AGMs… Elliotte Friedman surely seemed to hint that New Jersey Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald could be in line for the Penguins job, eventually (31 Thoughts)

We’re poking around about this. If we ever get anything, you’ll be the second to know.
