Matheson traded to Pittsburgh for Hornqvist

[Guilt Trip]

Per Penguins source, the reason for the trade holdup:

The Penguins have been unable to reach Patric Hornqvist to make sure he approves the trade to Florida.

If he never answers his phone, he can't be traded.

Worked for Big Buff.

Well wouldn't he know the teams before making the trade? I think the agent saw the tweet or whatever and called Jimmy boy and said hold on a minute here.

this man is a forward, folks https://t.co/BrbONMPtYD

I kind of like this idea. It's clear his instincts for neutralizing attacks is wonky, but he's got the build and wherewithal to be a pretty decent displacement forward. His shooting percentage is also relatively high for a defenseman so I think he could be someone you could just throw pucks at for chaos jam goals.

Ok, so I love that video.

Or is it...

It appears as if the Hornqvist/Matheson deal is being held up due to an insurance issue — the ability to fully insure contracts against injury.

Hahaha. What a joke.

Insurance on contracts isn't a joke.  With how these franchises are leveraged, insurance is not optional most of the time.  It's got to be there to release the funds.

Wasn't saying that insurance is a joke. Just the fiasco surrounding this deal is funny. Almost as good as the famous fax machine down.

Bit of both?

Was told the is likely not happening anymore but not to assume anything for sure. Thinks Sabres are looking at goalies. Lot of teams talking but money is an issue holding up the action. Buyout window is tomorrow
