NHL Rumors: Are Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust Sparking a Pittsburgh Penguins Shakeup?
Johnston: “For sure. And he’s coming off a great season. You know, which is, again, I think, bolsters the market for Kyle Dubas, as he, you know, takes those, those kind of phone calls from his colleagues around the league.
And, and, you know, he helped firm at the deadline. I mean, there was certainly a lot of teams poking around Rakell leading up to March 7th, and ultimately, Pittsburgh decided not to move on from him.
And you know, the Penguins now have had kind of, what I’d call a busy free agent period this I know a lot of players the short-term deals. Basically taking some bets on, on, on guys that you know, maybe their stock isn’t the highest. I think of some like Anthony Mantha, for example, getting a one year deal there in Pittsburgh. You know, trying to try to uncover a few players that are going to be bouncing back this year, and then maybe that’s given them an ability to trade off, to roster even more and cut deeper.
