The Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> should be looking to add to their roster during the off-season after making the playoffs this year.<\/p>\n

When looking at teams that are expected to be sellers this off-season, the Calgary Flames<\/a> stand out. Because of this, let’s look at three Flames who the Penguins should consider targeting.<\/p>\n

Adding another right-shot defenseman should be one of the Penguins’ objectives this off-season. A blueliner like Zach Whitecloud could make sense for them, as he is a steady shutdown defenseman who can play in the top four and kill penalties. In 78 games this season, the 6-foot-2 defenseman had two goals, 17 points, 124 hits, and 140 blocks.<\/p>\n

Connor Zary would be an interesting young forward for the Penguins to bring in. The 24-year-old forward took a bit of a step back this season, posting 12 goals and 25 points in 74 games. However, he also had 27 points in 54 games during the 2024-25 season and a career-high 34 points in 63 games in 2023-24, so he has bounce-back potential. Perhaps getting a fresh start on the Penguins could help the 2020 first-round pick hit a new level.<\/p>\n

If the Penguins want to add a center who provides solid secondary scoring, Morgan Frost would make sense as a trade target. The 27-year-old forward just had a strong year for Calgary, posting 22 goals and 43 points in 82 games. With numbers like these, he would be a nice pickup for Pittsburgh’s middle six and power play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Penguins should be looking to add to their roster during the off-season after making the playoffs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":583979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[895,26,5294,5669,896,5,4527,4,100,2171,3708],"class_list":["post-583978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-calgary-flames","tag-calgary","tag-calgary-flames","tag-calgaryflames","tag-connor-zary","tag-flames","tag-hockey","tag-morgan-frost","tag-nhl","tag-pittsburgh-penguins","tag-the-penguins","tag-zach-whitecloud"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116640275697888823","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/583979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
