Scoring depth and the power play are still early season concerns for the Penguins

After missing the playoffs for the first time in 16 years the Pittsburgh Penguins made some pretty sweeping changes to the organization this offseason.

Ron Hextall and Brian Burke were out.

Kyle Dubas came in.

Along with the Dubas hiring was a roster that was completely overhauled to try and change the biggest flaws from the 2022-23 team.

Erik Karlsson was acquired to help fix the power play and boost the defense.

Ryan Graves was added to hopefully be an improvement over Brian Dumoulin.

They also made big changes to the bottom-six by bringing in Noel Acciari, Lars Eller, Matt Nieto, Jansen Harkins and giving Drew O’Connor a more permanent role in the lineup.
