Dan’s Daily: Penguins U-Turns, More Canadiens Trade Whispers

Published

on

Pittsburgh Penguins, Kasperi Kapanen, Washington Capitals, nhl trade talk

The Pittsburgh Penguins rosters for rookie and training camps were announced on Tuesday. There was no Brian Boyle. Dave Molinari will have additional information on Boyle and a little Penguins trade scoop coming this morning. Brian Burke expects a few Penguins to have U-turns from disappointing play last season. The Ottawa Senators are surging and season ticket sales have doubled. The Montreal Canadiens will visit the NHL trade market while putting Kirby Dach’s name on a contract in the very near future. Should Calgary offer Joe Thornton a PTO?

National Hockey Now is expanding. And Sports Now Group PGH is expanding. And Dan is questioning his sanity. Our meeting on Tuesday with an investor already in our space yielded wide eyes on both sides and an invitation to talk when we get to where we’re going. Yinz have been the rock of our company, and I hope we make you proud that you were on the ground floor, pretty soon.

Should the Flames be the team to give Joe Thornton a PTO?
