The Pittsburgh Penguins wish to add an impactful player of their late 20s
Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas has said that he wants so as to add an impact player who’s in his late 20s. Jason Robertson and Dylan Larkin are two players who’ve been within the rumor mill.
The Penguins have some draft picks, prospects, and veteran scoring wingers that they may use. They may also look to maneuver up from the No. 22 pick. Doubtful that they’d do each. Adding an impactful player would likely cost them the No. 22 pick.
Age is becoming a priority for the Penguins with Evgeni Malkin turning 40, and Sidney Crosby is popping 39. Erik Karlsson is 36, and Bryan Rust is 34.
