Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast – 32 Final Thoughts episode, on the Dallas Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins holding some serious talks about Jason Robertson. Would Elias Pettersson be a good fit for the Penguins?
** NHLRumors.com transcription
“Now I talked about sort of in the middle. I think they had some conversations with Dallas about Jason Robertson. I don’t know why it didn’t happen, but I heard, like there were some pretty legitimate talks.
So I don’t know if this was the Penguins’ call or this was Robertson’s call. And like we said earlier when we talked about Dallas, the belief is he wants to stay there. So maybe it was Robertson’s call. I don’t know.
NHL Rumors: Vancouver Canucks, Seattle Kraken and Anaheim Ducks
But that is a potential option, cause I heard they had some pretty serious talks about it, and we don’t know where this is going to go for Robertson in Dallas.
I’ll tell you this, Kyle. Here’s another one I’ve wondered about, and that is Petterson. Elias Petterson from the Canucks. And remember, he has control, but, I, you know, look. All of a sudden, look, he’s got to play better in that $11.6 (million) is, everyone’s been talking about that, I know.
But again, the ground has shifted here in a huge way. I, I’ve sat there, and I said, where could he go that could be good for him? I don’t know. I wonder if the Penguins with Crosby and Malkin might be good for him.”
Kyle Bukauskas: “I do believe a fresh start somewhere is, is the best course of action at this point.”
Friedman: “I think it has to happen. I do, but he’s got a say in this.”
