Penguins Linked To $60 Million Leafs D-Man Swing

Pittsburgh is being dragged into another trade-rumor blender, and this one comes with a hefty price tag. The speculation ties Sidney Crosby’s Penguins to a Maple Leafs defenseman, which is exactly the sort of rumor that gets whispered in front offices long before it ever hits the wire. A move like this would say a lot about what the Penguins think they still need, and what they are willing to spend to get it. When the number starts at $60 million, nobody is exactly talking about a depth tweak.
