The NHL offseason is coming to a crossroads. Either the halted movement of several players will free up, thus creating a raging rapids of additional moves, or the NHL trade market and restricted free agent negotiations are going to remain clogged. It appears Dylan Larkin\u2019s teams of choice are unable to swing a trade, while in Chicago, Connor Bedard needed shoulder surgery and will be out months, and there is immediate debate on how it affects his RFA value. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the Daily, we debated the Pittsburgh Penguins\u2019 offseason, which potential Penguins trade is best, and did a full podcast and chat. <\/p>\n
No stories. No extra ponderances. I actually haven\u2019t left my house in days; the downside of working from home, I suppose. <\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Oh, we got after it. An expansive Penguins Q&A with everything from the Penguins trade talk to potential, to one tweet I regretted and one question I wouldn\u2019t answer. We went there and back. Check out the full Penguins analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n And here\u2019s the podcast on the Audacy podcast network. You can also get it on Spotify and Apple. Please and thanks. <\/p>\n And here\u2019s the YouTube video version:<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s get to the rest. <\/p>\n NHL Trade Talk, News, & NHN<\/p>\n DFO: What happens when none of the three teams to which Dylan Larkin approved a trade can afford him in either cap space or trade assets? That\u2019s where the situation stands. So what now<\/a>?<\/p>\n Detroit Hockey Now: From the inside, the Larkin trade is getting harder as the external prices go up. GM Steve Yzerman isn\u2019t going to take less, and the situation is getting sticky for the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Chicago Hockey Now: Uh oh. Shoulder surgeries are serious business, and Connor Bedard had to undergo surgery on Wednesday. He will be out for several months<\/a>. <\/p>\n TSN radio: The wondering and debate over Bedard has begun. How will shoulder surgery affect his value, a potential RFA offer sheet, and the rest of his career<\/a>?<\/p>\n And, I\u2019m not sure if I love this or if we\u2019ll cringe at the end, but the New York Islanders have launched a fan contest to design their alternate sweaters for the 2027-28 season. No joke<\/a>.<\/p>\n New Jersey Hockey Now: The Utah Mammoth matched the offer for Barrett Hayton, so no score for new GM Sunny Mehta. So, what comes next<\/a>?<\/p>\n Philly Hockey Now: We\u2019re only a day away. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! The Anaheim Ducks have until Friday to match the Leo Carlsson offer sheet, but as Will James opines, the message of the Flyers\u2019 move is loud and clear. GM Daniel Briere will do whatever it takes to make the Flyers better<\/a>.<\/p>\n Florida Hockey Now: Oh boy, check out this group of hammers. The potential Florida Panthers opening night lineup<\/a>.<\/p>\n And Florida has Boko in Charlotte just waiting. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: connor bedard<\/a> dylan larkin<\/a> nhl news<\/a> nhl trade<\/a> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> <\/p>\n Categorized:Links<\/a> NHL Trade Rumors<\/a> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NHL offseason is coming to a crossroads.
