The Pittsburgh Penguins have a couple of decisions coming today or Friday, and one of those involves rookie goalie Sergei Murashov, who probably shouldn’t buy green bananas. Coach Dan Muse is excited for another rookie, but one looks to be coming out of the lineup. Elsewhere in the Daily, there’s more drama in Nashville a day after the GM F-bombed his team. The Canucks sent a memo outlining their trade plans. And St. Louis offered a trade for Jordan Kyrou, but received a rejection.
I know a lot of you are preparing for Thanksgiving tomorrow. First, PHN won’t be taking the holiday off (not entirely anyway), so stop back for updated stories and analysis. Also, I have wonderful news for our subscribers–Tech figured it out!
I know it’s been sketchy, and there have been a good number of problems over the last few months. I’ve done my best to patch things, but I know as much about the tech side as the tech side knows about hockey.
They sent me some screenshots Tuesday, and it looks great. We’re going to have a new integrated platform for all of the Now sites’ paywall content. There will be more tiers and offerings, a new comments board, and exclusive videos. You may have sensed my frustration and worry, but the folks had a breakthrough over the weekend. What I saw yesterday lifted a two-ton boulder off my shoulders and replaced it with a wagon full of optimism.
And–make sure you join us for the Penguins Live Chat today at 1 p.m.!
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Rather than make you read a few stories Tuesday afternoon, I compressed the injury updates, Tristan Jarry’s status, the new lines, the Tristan Broz guest list, and why Dan Muse is excited into one Penguins notebook.
SteelersNow.com: Alan Saunders tees up the Steelers as their season slips away. The five biggest reasons the Steelers are struggling.
Pittsburgh Baseball Now: I mean, we knew they weren’t going to get the big names floated about, right? In this week’s Q&A, Danny Demilio looks at potential free agents who will come here and a possible 2026 Pirates lineup.
NHL Trade Chatter, News, & National Hockey Now
TSN Insiders: What is the trade cost for Ryan O’Reilly? It’s not cheap. Also, it’s getting real in Vancouver. The NHL trade rumors have bubbled, sure, but now we have Pierre LeBrun reporting that Vancouver sent a memo to all 31 teams outlining who is available. Yeah, that won’t quell those rumors.
I think it’s fair to say that the conflict between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller destroyed that team, and they’re still dealing with the effects, as Pettersson has never been the same.
NHLTradeRumors.me: Once again, Dave Littman picked through a podcast and found a real gold nugget. Elliotte Friedman was on the Kyper and Bourne podcast and casually dropped that St. Louis offered up Jordan Kyrou at the draft to Seattle for the No. 8 pick, but Seattle said, nah, fam, we’re good. Seattle rejected a Kyrou trade?!
I don’t get it–Kyrou’s stock is falling faster than Enron’s.
Sportsnet: Upgrades in goal? Ryan Dixon lines up the goalie trade market for the pair of teams really, really in need: the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers. Not on the list was Tristan Jarry, but Dixon did some real searching for goalies who could be had.
The 2026 UFA market has been picked clean already, but the RFAs include some big names, including Connor Bedard, Trevor Zegras, and more. The latest status updates and what could be.
Philly Hockey Now: More tough choices for teams trying to develop prospects, but also win some games. Rick Tocchet is increasingly benching one of his future regulars, so the a difficult choice is facing the Philadelphia Flyers.
Forever Blueshirts: Trying to right a wrong. The Rangers signed Juuso Parssinen to a two-year contract after last season, but he really didn’t fit. The big center has been up and down in his short career, beginning in Nashville, and he really didn’t fit in Mike Sullivan’s system, so Tuesday, the Rangers waived Parssinen.
Perhaps I’m simply more aware of it, given the Penguins’ acquisitions, but it looks like there are a lot of former Nashville Predators from the 2022-24 seasons floating around who have the same deficiencies.
