The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be without one of their best players for at least a month, as defenceman Kris Letang fractured his foot and will miss at least four weeks. The Penguins placed Letang on injured reserve on Saturday, as they look to win their sixth straight game, hosting the New York Rangers, who continue to scratch Artemi Panarin with trade talks heating up.

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner on their rebuild — or at least they’re trying to. Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Flyers might be interested in New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin on the most recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast . We wrote on that report earlier on Friday, with a look at how it might benefit the Flyers.

The New York Rangers ’ sell-off chatter has (somehow) moved past just Artemi Panarin. Frank Seravalli ’s recent take is that Vincent Trocheck might actually be the more valuable deadline piece. His logic is that Panarin is the bigger star, but he’s a pure rental with a full no-move clause and a massive cap number, which narrows the market fast. Trocheck is a playoff-style center, signed for multiple seasons at a far easier hit, and that kind of cost certainty can make GMs do reckle...
