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 an excellent fit for the Penguins?
** NHLRumors.com transcription
“Now I talked about type of in the center. I believe they’d some conversations with Dallas about Jason Robertson. I don’t know why it didn’t occur, but I heard, like there have been 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 after we talked about Dallas, the assumption is he desires to stay there. So perhaps it was Robertson’s call. I don’t know.

But that could be a potential option, cause I heard they’d some pretty serious talks about it, and we don’t know where that is going to go for Robertson in Dallas.
I’ll inform you this, Kyle. Here’s one other one I’ve wondered about, and that’s Petterson. Elias Petterson from the Canucks. And remember, he has control, but, I, you realize, look. Impulsively, look, he’s got to play higher in that $11.6 (million) is, everyone’s been talking about that, I do know.
But again, the bottom has shifted here in an enormous way. I, I’ve sat there, and I said, where could he go that may very well be good for him? I don’t know. I ponder if the Penguins with Crosby and Malkin is likely to be good for him.”
Kyle Bukauskas: “I do consider a fresh start somewhere is, is the very best plan of action at this point.”
Friedman: “I believe it has to occur. I do, but he’s got a say on this.”
