Penguins had a massive trade lined up until one simple “No” killed it
Things could be getting ugly for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they try and trade off some pieces from their roster. Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust have been speculated as two aging wingers who could be dealt to open the door for some younger players in the system to get NHL ice time. Well, according to Keith Yandle of the Spittin' Chicklets Podcast, the Penguins almost got a deal done with Chicago.
"Actually, I heard a rumor that Rakell turned down a trade to go to Chicago." Yandle continued, "And that's why they brought up, who is the kid they brought up, McGroarty."
