Emily Kaplan of ESPN: Keys to the Pittsburgh Penguins offseason.
1. Address their blue line – The Penguins were looking a depth defenseman at the trade deadline but weren’t able to acquire one. They need to add some this offseason. Matt Hunwick is under contract through 2019-20 and is a buyout candidate. Their main priority should be to acquire a reliable second- or third-pairing defenseman. They should be able to find one in the middle-tier free agent market.
2. Re-sign their pending RFAs – Their list of RFAs includes Riley Sheahan, Dominik Simon, Tom Kuhnhackl, Bryan Rust and Jamie Oleksiak.
