Penguins Running Out of Options With Galchenyuk
January 14th, 2020 When the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Alex Galchenyuk in a trade involving Phil Kessel last offseason, the team was hoping he'd mesh with the top-six and produce in a similar way that Kessel did. Over halfway through the season, things haven't gone according to plan. Galchenyuk has just 4 goals and 15 points in 36 games this season...
Penguins' Under-the-Radar Trade Targets
January 13th, 2020 Even before the devastating injury to Jake Guentzel, the Pittsburgh Penguins were likely going to be buyers before the trade deadline. Now, that seems like a guarantee.

So far, they have a solid grip on the Eastern Conference's top wild-card spot, but it hasn't come easily. On the surface, head coach Mike Sullivan is in line with...
Penguins' Best and Worst Trades of the Decade
December 6th, 2019 The Pittsburgh Penguins have spent the last decade with higher expectations than almost any other NHL squad. Stacked with high-end talent and depth to make deep playoff runs, the team has constantly been in win-now mode throughout Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin's primes. Part of the reason the Penguins have been competitive for so...
