Sportsnet<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast \u2013 32 Final Thoughts episode, on the Dallas Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins holding some serious talks about Jason Robertson<\/a>. Would Elias Pettersson<\/a> be an excellent fit for the Penguins?<\/p>\n

** NHLRumors.com transcription<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNow I talked about type of in the center. I believe they’d some conversations with Dallas about Jason Robertson<\/a>. I don\u2019t know why it didn\u2019t occur, but I heard, like there have been some pretty legitimate talks.<\/p>\n

So I don\u2019t know if this was the Penguins\u2019 call or this was Robertson\u2019s call. And like we said earlier after we talked about Dallas, the assumption is he desires to stay there. So perhaps it was Robertson\u2019s call. I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

But that could be a potential option, cause I heard they’d some pretty serious talks about it, and we don\u2019t know where that is going to go for Robertson in Dallas.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll inform you this, Kyle. Here\u2019s one other one I\u2019ve wondered about, and that’s Petterson. Elias Petterson from the Canucks. And remember, he has control, but, I, you realize, look. Impulsively, look, he\u2019s got to play higher in that $11.6 (million) is, everyone\u2019s been talking about that, I do know.<\/p>\n

But again, the bottom has shifted here in an enormous way. I, I\u2019ve sat there, and I said, where could he go that may very well be good for him? I don\u2019t know. I ponder if the Penguins with Crosby and Malkin is likely to be good for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyle Bukauskas: \u201cI do consider a fresh start somewhere is, is the very best plan of action at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cI believe it has to occur. I do, but he\u2019s got a say on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
