Summary
The NHL offseason has been a whirlwind of blockbuster trades, but the Penguins have taken a quieter, strategic approach. GM Kyle Dubas admits they lacked the assets to pull off big moves—especially when teams traded top-ten picks—but he’s proud of their internal growth that led to not having one this year. They’re focused on building through the mid-20s “bridge players” who connect veterans and young talent, and while they didn’t land a headline-grabber, they’ve added speed with Hendrix Lapierre and Oliver Okuliar—both poised to make an impact. Dubas’s philosophy? A steady, smart build, not flashy one-offs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
