Nick Wosika-Imagn Images\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>As we barrel into the holiday weekend, the glaring signal that summer has ended and attention turns to football, we\u2019re anxiously awaiting the storm in the NHL. We looked for the potential positives of the Pittsburgh Penguins\u2019 changes and how fans can affect them, too. Elsewhere, the Calgary Flames players are openly admitting Calgary d-man Rasmus Anderssen will be traded, and buried within the Marco Rossi contract report was a golden nugget of the offers that Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Road trip! Instead of me telling you where I\u2019m headed, here\u2019s a better question: Where are you headed? If you\u2019re venturing into new territory and a place I\u2019ve been, I\u2019ll be happy to offer up some suggestions. You know my favorites, especially Wellsboro, but now also Marietta.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, is there anything more fun than discovering a hidden gem on a road trip and feeling the satisfaction of knowing something no one else knows about?<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, yes, bear with us.

As the Penguins turn and face the changes, there could be immediate positives that make the team better. And, the fan base might be better for them, too.

The Wild weren\u2019t eager to trade Rossi, in part because the offers they received were for mid-to-late first-round picks and uninteresting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6471963\/2025\/08\/22\/marco-rossi-wild-contract\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">roster players<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I have no knowledge of a Penguins offer, but it would seem logical that the Penguins made a call when they had the 12th pick, or were willing to offer one of the 21st or 24th picks, yes?<\/p>\n<p>Sportsnet: One of the trade stories that has flown under the radar this summer. \u201cIt\u2019s obvious.\u201d Even the Calgary Flames players admit that the team will trade Rasmus Anderssen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/nhl\/article\/flames-backlund-on-andersson-hes-getting-traded\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A bit of a sensationalized headline from the Team Canada orientation, \u201cAll options are on the table,\u201d doesn\u2019t quite mean what it says.
