The Pittsburgh Penguins\u2019 offseason might be a multi-front battle of trades, acquisitions, and departures. As we did this week\u2019s Live Chat, the puzzle pieces are still scattered about general manager Kyle Dubas\u2019s table.<\/p>\n
Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now conducts his weekly chat and the questions focused not on the open coaching position, but on signing restricted free agents, which veterans could be the first out the door, and what will constitute a successful offseason.<\/p>\n

We began the show with a discussion on Mikael Granlund\u2019s Penguins tenure, why he flopped in Pittsburgh, and the full backstory. There was a bit of Ron Hextall criticism, too.<\/p>\n
11:00 Dan\u2019s unique T-shirt<\/p>\n
11:30: The Penguins are NOT trading Sidney Crosby<\/p>\n
13:00: The trade talk surrounding the Penguins, starting with Minnesota Wild forward Marco Rossi, but a brutal takedown on clickbait.<\/p>\n
16:30: Which veterans will be traded and which prospects will arrive? Specifically, the price on a Rickard Rakell trade, why trading Bryan Rust is unlikely, and the difficulty of trading Erik Karlsson.<\/p>\n
24:00: How long will the rebuild take?<\/p>\n

27:00 Tommy Novak\u2019s future with the Penguins, and analysis of Novak\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
We also had some fun worrying about awakening AI and building the Penguins\u2019 forwards lines, which RFAs make sense (and which don\u2019t).<\/p>\n
