Anyone could "hear" that LOL. Friedman is such a poser insider. A lot of the time me thinks he just browses fan forums for tidbits of info.

I used to like him B4 SN. Maybe he was just pulling the wool over my eyes. :laugh:

I will never understand why you'd sign multiple UFAs with non-trivial price tags in 2023, then trade for Karlsson while fully aware that it will cause enormous cap problems sooner rather than later, suck for half a year, and then end up losing Guentzel as a result. Dubas really, really dropped the ball with the UFAs.

Short answer is Crosby wanted his pals to stick around for his retirement tour.

Hextall and Burke were originally brought in a couple of years ago to clean house and rebuild, but that didn't sit well with Sid and he convinced the knee ownership group to try to win with the old core.

IMO Karlsson was the big booboo. Not that other moves were good. But he gave up assets and took on a huge salary. Karlsson has actually been pretty productive, but not enough to make Pens a PO team much less a contender.

What's with B Dillon being quoted in Vancouver that he would like to sign there as a UFA?

Reported in local Vancouver media.

Seems to me a case of local media thinking the home town kid is going to come home to play. They have done it with plenty of other home town players over the years.

That guy is such a fake and loser.
He makes up crap like could Kralsson going back to the Sens and people run with it or the Petersson trade to the Canes story. While he is telling the story he paused every second word like he knows the story but can't say and has to choose his words carefully ... lmfao.
On his X feed all he does is retweets others who posts trades or waivers.
When was the last story he broke?
