Mike Defabo of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: The first trade deadline for Ron Hextall as general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins could be somewhat eventful. Pittsburgh allowed 15 goals in the last two games and has a need for a big, physical center. That center needs to provide a little offense.
“We would like a big, physical forward,” Hextall said, adding later that preferably someone who has experience playing center. “We’ve said that right from the start.”
Hextall is patient, and adds.
“The right guy has got to be out there at the right price,” Hextall said.
