It’s a rumor site.... and Toffoli has been bantered about in these parts so I thought I’d pass it along...

...GM, Jim Rutherford has been busy sending out feelers, and according to sources connected to the LA Kings, the two teams have discussed the framework of a blockbuster deal.

The hold up is tied around the retained salary the Kings are willing to agree to, as LA is looking to send multiple players to the Penguins in return for goaltender Matt Murray and future considerations.

The Penguins have zoned in on forwards Tyler Toffoli and Trevor Lewis, while also discussing goaltender Jonathan Quick.

I have a feeling Toffoli ends up in Boston.

Looking more & more like the Caps will move on from Holtby & go with Samsonov in net next year

Holtby could be a really nice bridge,
so that we don’t need to rush 6k

And I’m curious to see if the pens move Murray.... Jarry has really stepped up...

not with lazar and wilson

I am miffed he is still not in the top 6 with olofsson and skinner out
- homiedclown

I can’t believe they haven’t contacted Vanek at this point.

Stick his fat ass in front of the net al la Andreychuk

Risto should be there full time on the PP, if not 5-on-5

Johansson has done it for half of 1 AHL season

Holtby has proven how good he is year after year in the NHL

What kind of contract though?
- jcragcrumple

I’m sure it would be pricy
Haven’t thought enough about it to say what I’d be willing to pay

But i do think he’d lock down the position for us for at least a few years
So it could be an option that’s at least worth considering

He’s played half of 1 good season in the AHL,
with a really good group of defensemen in front of him

I’m not even close to thinking he’d be a good starter for the Sabres
He might be
But Holtby would be a sure thing
- jdfitz77

So holtby is a ufa at seasons end. 30 years old Currently at $6.1... what’s your money and term?

And what do you do with... Hutton, Ullmark, Johansson, 6k...

Most see 6k as the future (I’m one of those).

Holtby Ullmark

2.99 GAV. 2.83 GAV
9.02 SV%. 9.11 SV%

One plays on a stacked Washington team, the other plays here. Not to mention Holtby is probably going to get a long term deal for more money I’d probably stomach for him.

No thanks.

That’s the thing
I see 6k as the future here too

But if we don’t wanna waste MORE of Eichel’s prime while we wait for 6k to develop,
then a goalie like Holtby makes a lot of sense

We need better than our current duo
And we really have no clue how Johansson will be in the NHL

We do about Holtby though

Idk what kind of deal he’d want
I’m sure it would be a lot
It’s worth considering though

I wonder if Holtby is declining,
or if it’s that their defense has been losing key parts for a few years now?

I wouldn’t want him for long term
The aav will definitely be up there though

And I’d feel much better about him in net than Ullmark

I’d rather take a stab at one of Halak, Greiss, or Crawford on a 1-2 year deal.

Give Hutton away to Washington to back up Samsonov.

I'd be more concerned about the years than the AAV. If he'd take a 1 or 2 year deal it would be interesting.

I could be talked into that too

Just saw Bob McKenzie talking about Holtby during intermission & thought it was an idea worth chatting about

I don’t necessarily love Holtby
So if he wants a 6 or 7 year deal,
then no way
5 would even be pushing it

One of the guys u suggest for 2 or 3 years might be a better idea though

Give 6k at least a full year to start in Rochester
Then a year or more here as backup before he takes over as #1

I think 3 years would be ideal for any of the options

I would like us to pursue an upgrade over Hutton though
Maybe Johansson is?
But that’s a lot of inexperience in net

And if one of them falters or gets hurt,
who do we bring up?
6k i would guess

Pretty risky having only kids if we are trying to win

So 3 years, $18m? That seems like market price. Might be light

- Pegullaville

Short-term memory? He actually refused to play here, IIRC?

I could get with something like that

Just an option though

- BeadyEyedDouche

He had a sip of coffee before being moved for Neuvirth. Regardless, it’s 2020 and he’s a guy who can split time with Ullmark. Play them each 41 games for all I care.

I think he knew they were moving him again anyways. So he wasn’t going to play.
