The Pittsburgh Penguins have a lot of work to do this offseason with their roster. They do not have a few of their stars signed for next season, and beyond that, they need to decide what direction the franchise is going to move in now.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been in the Stanley Cup Playoffs every season since 2007. They have the longest playoff streak going with 16 straight appearances in the playoffs and they have been one of the top teams of the era with three championships to their name.

That being said, it is not all perfect in Pittsburgh. The Penguins have not won a series since 2018, and they have been taking a step back as of late. While they continue to find a way to get done in the regular season, they cannot win in the playoffs as of late.

This year showed their struggles as they were up to three games to one against the Rangers only to end up losing in a game seven. This team still has Crosby, Guentzel, and Malkin but there are a lot of players aging on this roster.

The Penguins are running out of time to win with Sidney Crosby. While his current deal runs for three more seasons, the 34-year-old has a lot of players around him that need to be signed and could be on the move this offseason.

Let’s jump in with the most probably player that could be on the move this offseason.
