In NHL insider Frank Seravalli's eyes, explaining his view of the situation appearing on his Bleacher Report podcast, any possible trade involving Crosby likely won’t happen until the 2025 offseason—at the earliest.

Would Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas consider trading for a young, disgruntled Blue Jackets right winger?

Most of the recent trade speculation surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins is focused on Erik Karlsson. Their acquisition of right-shot blueliner Matt Dumba has some observers believing the 35-year-old defenseman will soon be on his way out of Pittsburgh.

On the eastern side of North America, the transaction was orchestrated very late at night, within a few minutes of midnight. But in Sweden, it happened early, more than two hours before the sun came up.

Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Harrison Brunicke put other prospects in the organization on notice as he looks to make the roster in 2025-26.

Outside of Sidney Crosby's greatness, the Pittsburgh Penguins have been tough to watch for the last three seasons. At 37 years old, Crosby is still playing at a historic level. The same can't be said for the rest of the team.

Two weeks into the start of free agency, the Penguins look a little different on paper after a couple of trades and signings.

Brunicke (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) earned a shot with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, having two assists in 10 regular-season games there and two points (one goal, one assist) in two games during the Calder Cup Playoffs.

The Penguins open the 2025-26 season at Madison Square Garden and will play the New York teams multiple times to start the year.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in for another tough season as they are projected to be near the bottom of the standings as they continue through their long rebuild.
