Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: It’s well known that Pittsburgh Penguins GM Jim Rutherford likes to make moves well in advance of the NHL trade deadline.
“I think the market will open up at some point in the next week or two,” the GM said Wednesday afternoon. “Once teams decide which direction they want to go, more players will get into the market. But now it’s a pretty small market.”
The Penguins would like to add a top-six winger. Jake Guentzel isn’t expected back until late April.
