## Resource

If there was a team that truly took people off guard in a positive way during the regular season, it was the Pittsburgh Penguins. With a rookie head coach, an aging core and a relatively non-descript 2025 off-season, the Pens proved from opening night that, just because "experts" think one way, those assessments mean nothing to the team in the room. Still, an opening-round playoff loss to a lower seed leaves plenty of questions for GM Kyle Dubas in preparing the club for 2026-27.
