Can the Penguins replace McCann and Tanev from within the organization?

Less than 24 hours after losing Brandon Tanev to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft and just days after shipping out Jared McCann to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ron Hextall met with the media to discuss the recent happenings and where he sees the Penguins offseason going from here.

In his press conference, Hextall covered a variety of topics related to the team but didn’t reveal much in terms of his plans for the coming weeks with the NHL Draft and free agency looming. While Hextall did put a slight damper on the hopes the Penguins could make a big splash in the free agent market, he did give some insight into how the Penguins may replace the losses of McCann and Tanev this summer.
