In addition to all of their problems on the ice, the Pittsburgh Penguins are not doing well off the ice either. The team is out of salary cap space, and as a result can’t bring back defenseman Jan Rutta from the long-term injury reserve without making a trade or sending multiple players down to the AHL.
According to Frank Seravalli at Daily Faceoff, option A for “make a trade” could be the way to go on this on.
So far, 12 players have been traded off our Trade Targets board - including three more on Thursday.
