rumor/report: Penguins Trying to Move Jack Johnson

[Phil]

With just days until the NHL salary cap kicking in, the Pittsburgh Penguins find themselves above the upper limit. There?s been speculation floating that the Pens may push under the limit by making a trade. Darren Dreger had some interesting comments on TSN on Wednesday night.

 

?Pittsburgh WILL trade a defenseman,? Dreger said demonstratively. ?There?s been much speculation out there around Jack Johnson. That?s a tough contract to move, but Jim Rutherford will one of his blueliners.?

I agree with Pete. With Buff not there, and no Trouba, they need someone on the blue line.
