Pittsburgh Penguins Prepare Multiple Veteran Trades

The Pittsburgh Penguins are poised to be significant sellers at the upcoming NHL trade deadline, with general manager Kyle Dubas indicating that 'no one is safe' on the roster except for players with full no-trade clauses, like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Despite a recent stretch of improved performance, the team's long-term strategy appears focused on retooling, leading to the expectation of multiple trades, particularly involving defenseman Marcus Pettersson, who is regarded as 'as good as gone.' Other veterans could also be moved as the Penguins shift towards a younger roster. The team's struggles have intensified discussions around potential trades, with emphasis on moving costly contracts and assessing NHL-ready prospects. While players like Rickard Rakell are generating interest, Dubas is likely to hold onto him unless a substantial offer is made. This aggressive approach reflects a commitment to rebuilding while still being competitive in the current season.
