With a recent trade, the Pittsburgh Penguins are beginning a tear down of their current roster.
The Pittsburgh Penguins knew it was just a matter of time. When they decided to keep the band together for a few more years andSidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang, it sealed the future fate of the organization. At some point this team, a team that made the postseason for 16 straight years, would regress and a rebuild would begin.
It already started with the trade of center Lars Eller. He was brought in to be a reliable third-line pivot and he filled that role admirably. But with no playoff hopes in sight in 2024-2025, the Pens capitalized on the value of his championship experience and acquired two draft picks from the Washington Capitals for the 35-year-old forward.
