Despite losing 5-4 that night to the Flyers, Mario led his

While there were over 20 deadline deals on Friday, one trade that didn't happen was between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Seattle Kraken. Reports suggest that the Penguins were making multiple trade offers to the Kraken to try and acquire 22-year-old Shane Wright, however, due to the significant price tag, the Kraken held firm, and wouldn't accept anything less. Speculation is brewing the Penguins offered a first, second, and third-round pick in one package, with two draft picks and goaltending ...

The Pittsburgh Penguins are trying to make a huge splash ahead of Friday afternoon's trade deadline, but Kyle Dubas won't be selling the farm to make it happen. Rumor has the Penguins and St. Louis Blues are in trade talks involving Robert Thomas heading to the Pens. Dubas has stated he'd prefer to shift his core younger this season and next, and Thomas fits the bill as a 26-year-old in his prime, who is under contract through the 2031 season. Apparently the Blues wanted the trade package to s...
