Friedman: “Okay, so a few other things, like when it comes to trade stuff in the league, everybody’s kind of waiting on Detroit to see what’s going to happen with Larkin and Edvinsson. No change as we sit here tonight doing the show.
But there are a couple of other teams to keep an eye on. Number one, Pittsburgh. The Penguins want to, 15th in the East. They want to get younger. They want to get faster. They want to make more opportunities for their young players.

They have Florida’s first-round pick. They have Edmonton’s first-round pick. They have a couple of second-rounders in addition to their own first. Those picks appear to be in play, and they have traded high first-rounders before.
But the Blackhawks have a lot of things out there. They’ve been asked about some of their prospects. I’ve heard. They’ve been asked about some of their guys who can play center, I’ve heard.
