With most of the big names now off of the free agent market, attention has switched back to the trade rumor mill for potential movement of difference making players. As we noted, Jeff Skinner is a name that probably will be traded and one that makes a lot of sense for Pittsburgh.
Another name that hasn’t quite gone away is Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens.
Rumblings remain over Max Pacioretty’s future with the Habs, as we’ve heard the Penguins have recently inquired about his availability.
Mindful of Pens cap situation, salary would need to go back in a potential deal.
