Speculating on Bryan Rust’s next contract

Since his NHL debut back in 2014, Bryan Rust has accomplished a lot as a member of the Penguins. He became a key cog in the Penguins back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017, including a pair of game winning goals in Game 7s during each run.

Now he’s a first line staple taking shifts alongside Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel. He’s also formed great chemistry with Evgeni Malkin and is no stranger to playing on his wing from time to time.

Rust wasn’t even a lineup regular almost a month after Mike Sullivan took over head coaching duties in 2015, but now it’s hard to imagine the Penguins without Bryan Rust in the lineup.
