The Pittsburgh Penguins want to get younger and they want to do it now, even if it means giving up a star left winger in Jake Guentzel.
"We need to get younger. We have a lot of guys in their 30s signed. Some of them are the best players in the history of the franchise. We have to have a way to continue to have those solid veteran guys but continue to get younger at the same time," team general manager Kyle Dubas said.
Guentzel, 29, has 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) in 50 games and is the second-most potent scorer for Pittsburgh.
