Friedman: “We’re talking about teams that have goaltenders available. I got a note because we said, who can really play? I got a note from somebody and he said, ‘You left one team out.'” I said, “Oh, yeah, who is that?” They said, “The Penguins.”
You know, the Penguins are in really good shape right now, but they’ve got some injuries at the position, which always complicates things.
But basically, this guy said to me, if you look at the base of it, they have Tristan Jarry. They have (Artus) Silofs, who plays really well for them. They have Sergey Murashov, who was there when Jarry was injured. The fans love him and the team loves him. He is a very talented young goalkeeper, 21 years old. They also have Joel Blomqvist, who was injured for a while in the NHL as well, but you know, he was one of their top goaltenders last year.
