If Norris Trophy-nominated defenceman Kris Letang cant come to a long-term deal
with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his preferred landing spot would be with the
Toronto Maple Leafs, according to Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

1050s Game Night on Wednesday, Rossi explained why such a scenario could take
shape. "Kris is a little bit curious about where he stands long range in the
Penguins plans," he told TSN Radio. "He has read reports of mine that there are
people within the Pittsburgh organization that thought Paul Martin was the
better defenceman last year, and there has been a sort of a hesitation on a
willingness to commit to him (Letang) to a long-term deal at elite defenceman
money. "Ive been told that if the Penguins couldnt reach some sort of
understanding with Letang, and the belief was they wouldnt be able to sign him
to some sort of deal, that Toronto has emerged as a preferred landing spot -
perhaps by Letang. It would be a place that he would be willing, if dealt, to
perhaps sign a long-term deal." Where possible trades are concerned, Letang
himself has no final say on who his next team would be. "We havent discussed the
Toronto Maple Leafs, period," Letangs agent Kent Hughes told TSN on Thursday
morning. "Our focus has been on trying to conclude a deal with
Pittsburgh." Rossi also made it clear that Pittsburgh remains keenly interested
in signing Letang to an extension. "General manager Ray Shero has been very
public since the lockout ended that he wants to retain Letang, but the Penguins
have committed a lot of money to Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and they have
also committed no-movement clauses to both of those players," he explained.
"Theyre very deep in their system on defence." Letang had five goals and 33
assists in 35 games for the Penguins this season. Rossi noted that Pittsburghs
price to deal the 26-year-old Montreal native would be quite high. "If the
Penguins are going to move Letang they would want to deal with a team that could
provide at least one roster player in addition to a first-round pick and a top
prospect...if not two roster players in addition to a first-round pick,"
explained Rossi. "But I dont think were quite there yet and I dont know that
they Penguins and Leafs have had any discussions." The Penguins traded
Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes at the NHL Draft a year ago when Staal
declined to sign a long-term extension with Pittsburgh.
