Penguins Shop Rust, Rakell Amid Rebuild; Crosby Rumors Grow

News summary

The Pittsburgh Penguins are actively exploring trade options for veteran forwards Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell, with league sources expecting at least one to be moved this offseason to further the team's rebuild. Team president Kyle Dubas may wait for an optimal deal or delay action until the next trade deadline. The Carolina Hurricanes, having already signed Nikolaj Ehlers, remain interested in acquiring additional forwards and have the assets to make a move. Speculation about Sidney Crosby's future in Pittsburgh continues amid the franchise's uncertain competitiveness after the 2026 Olympics, with rumors linking him to teams such as the Montreal Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche. Despite these rumors, Crosby's agent denies any intention to leave, and the Penguins appear committed to retaining their core unless offered a significant deal. The evolving roster situation signals a deeper commitment to rebuilding and could impact the team's draft lottery odds for 2026.
