Yesterday, we learned the Penguins were looking into signing defenseman Chris Tanev as a free agent. Apart of that very same report from Josh Yohe and Rob Rossi over at The Athletic, they discussed the possibility the Penguins could deal away leading goal scorer Bryan Rust this offseason.
Per Yohe and Rossi:
Several NHL general managers have inquired about Rust with Penguins GM Jim Rutherford, who is not actively shopping Rust and would prefer to keep his breakout top-six winger, according to multiple league sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of trade discussions.
