NHLTR Mock Trade: Proposed Blockbuster Sends Jason Robertson to Penguins

Vegas Coach John Tortorella Makes Bold Claim
It wasn't exactly a Mark Messier moment, but Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella did his best impersonation, making a bold claim as his team heads home for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final down 3 games to 2. They will need to pull off a win at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night to extend the series to a 7th game in Carolina.

4 Potential Trade Destinations for Flyers' Owen Tippett
The Philadelphia Flyers have put Owen Tippett on the trade market.
