Monster trade involving Sidney Crosby? The Penguins break the silence and make an announcement
The new general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Kyle Dubas, is known for his propensity to make very big and bold "moves," leading many observers to believe that he could possibly trade one or more big names.
We're talking about Jake Guentzel, Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, and possibly Sidney Crosby.
These rumors are also fueled by the fact that the Pittsburgh Penguins have an aging core that is extremely expensive and is on track to miss the playoffs again.
This would be truly catastrophic for them.
Dubas breaks the silence on a monstrous trade involving one of his star players
The response of the Penguins GM is interesting. He has opened the door to this type of major transaction, but he wants to wait a bit longer. (to see if his team can turn things around over the next month)
"I have my expectations of the group now, and I have my responsibility in the long run when it comes to how we're going to dictate our course. I'm going to give the players and the coaching staff as much time as possible," Dubas said. "So I'm just by nature not going to make any decisions based on how we do this week or next week. When we get through the All-Star break, and on the other side of that, we'll have a better idea of what we are as a group and where we need to go. Do we need some help, or do we need to have a deeper discussion about where we're at as a club?" - Kyle Dubas
Basically, if the Penguins are still on track to miss the playoffs after the All-Star break, then things could shake up, and big names might be traded.
But until then, let's wait and see.
