There were so many names that a reader quickly caught that I forgot one prospect who should play in the NHL. I think you have to read that to see the scope of it.<\/p>\n
Now then, Dubas and former Penguins GMs Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin were working the phones. We\u2019ve got the story and the full analysis \u2014 the latest Penguins trade was a bit of a steal as they took advantage of the crowded crease in Vancouver to pilfer the youngest member of the crew, Arturs Silovs<\/a>.<\/p>\n I suppose I was correct in the recent chats and Q&A that the Penguins would do well to add another goalie as insurance, but I\u2019m a little surprised that Vancouver would sell now.<\/p>\n Steelers Now: Man, Aaron Rodgers has some big detractors. The latest to take a cheap shot is a former NFL scout who said he\u2019s a \u201cHuge ego with a lost soul.\u201d Check out the latest broadside on the Steelers QB<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Baseball Now: The MLB Draft! The Buccos had the sixth overall pick, and it seems folks are pretty happy with the latest high pick. Here\u2019s the full Day 1 haul and the grades for the Pirates\u2019 draft picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n NHL Trade Talk, News, & National Hockey Now<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with another beatdown of a rumors site. A large rumors site reported the Oilers could look to Carter Hart if he\u2019s acquitted of the sexual assault charges next week. And very quickly:<\/p>\n Any report about the Oilers having interest in Carter Hart is incorrect.<\/p>\n Edmonton will not be approaching him, even if he is found not guilty. #NHL<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jason Gregor (@JasonGregor) July 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s time to start holding these sites accountable. There\u2019s no other way to do it or say it. The gak this summer has been out of control, and the harm is that it gives you an incorrect view\/perception of many situations.<\/p>\n Sportsnet Calgary: I like Eric Francis\u2019s work quite a bit. He tackled the pressing issue as well as the current lineup in the Stampede City. Calgary is playing a game of chicken with the NHL trade market and its player Rasmus Andersson, hoping to up the trade price, but also holding out a little hope that Andersson sticks around. The Calgary Flames lineup is at best in flux<\/a>.<\/p>\n Former Penguins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk is still unsigned. Luke Fox lays out the Top 10 remaining UFAs on the market and the latest news thereof<\/a>.<\/p>\n And I guess I know the writers at Sportsnet follow me.<\/p>\n Star Tribune: It is a situation that I know a lot of you are following (somewhat through the Dan\u2019s Daily), as Marco Rossi and the Minnesota Wild are still at each other. It has become a stalemate, but GM Bill Guerin holds the cards because Minnesota has enough cap space to match any offer. So, what happens next<\/a>?<\/p>\n Geez, it would seem the Penguins and Wild are perfect trade partners with multiple possibilities. Players don\u2019t forget when you hardball them. Most take it quite personally, even as they tell the cameras that they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n Detroit Hockey Now: Now that Mike Sullivan is gone, I\u2019m getting a lot fewer \u201c\u2026but Daniel Sprong\u201d comments these days. Those were always part annoyance and part humorous as Sprong bounced around the NHL. Well, he\u2019s done bouncing around the NHL for a bit, and now he\u2019s hoping to catch on in the KHL. Here\u2019s what\u2019s up with the former Penguins and Detroit Red Wings<\/a> winger.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-2025-07-14-at-7.45.18\u202fAM-300x140.png\")
