## Resource

Pittsburgh Penguins playoff exit highlights their thin trade market, with depth players like Tommy Novak and Justin Brazeau underperforming. Top-nine winger Anthony Mantha, a free agent, also failed to shine in the postseason. The core is aging, and GM Kyle Dubas is looking for moves, but players like Novak and Brazeau dont attract contenders. Vets like Erik Karlsson and Bryan Rust could be on the move, but the real assets are limited. Rickard Rakell and prospects like Tristan Broz, Owen Pickering, and Rutger McGroarty could be valuable trade pieces. Dubas has stockpiled draft picks, giving him ammunition to acquire young talent and spark a rebuild. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
