Not letting his phone cool, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas made another move by trading Philip Tomasino to Philadelphia for unwanted defenseman Egor Zamula. Team Canada announced their Olympic roster, and players who made it had emotional reactions that included Macklin Celebrini actually shaking when he talked about the honor. And there are some big-name trade chatter reports.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s technically a minor league trade as both players were waived this season. Still, it\u2019s also a deal of significance as the Penguins sent Philip Tomasino on his way to Philadelphia for derided defenseman Egor Zamula<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a curious trade. Dubas has been on a roll, but the professional communications I received regarding Zamula were not complimentary to his game. However, Madden cracked me up. <\/p>\n Philly Hockey Now: Here\u2019s the flip side of the Penguins trade.

Keaton Verhoef is earning time with Team Canada, and the debate is getting more real<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Athletic ($) Winnipeg: It just hasn\u2019t happened this season for the Winnipeg Jets.

Buffalo\u2026watch out. They have the pieces of a very good team. A smart trade or two, and that snowy paradise is going to be jumping through tables with a beef on weck in one hand and playoff tickets in the other.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTags: macklin celebrini<\/a> nhl trade<\/a> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> team canada<\/a> <\/p>\n Categorized: Links<\/a> NHL Trade Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not letting his phone cool, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas made another move by trading Philip Tomasino…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5113],"tags":[5,501,4,4433,118,1469,100,5216,3037],"class_list":{"0":"post-385018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-penguins","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-macklin-celebrini","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-nhl-trade","12":"tag-penguins","13":"tag-pittsburgh","14":"tag-pittsburgh-penguins","15":"tag-pittsburghpenguins","16":"tag-team-canada"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115820609102811759","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
