NHL Rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins – Johnson, Bjugstad, McCann, Hornqvist, and Letang

Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now: The Pittsburgh Penguins have already acquired a winger for Sidney Crosby this offseason when they traded for Kasperi Kapanen.

The Penguins could still use a third-paring defenseman, a third-line center and an upgrade to some other parts. Trading goaltender Matt Murray seems inevitable.

A couple of younger defensemen seem ready to supplant Jack Johnson on their third pairing.

Buying out Nick Bjugstad, if deemed healthy, could save the Penguins $3.5 million next season but would add $1.
