The Pittsburgh Penguins fizzled out in the first round of the playoffs this season and head into the draft with some uncertainty. The team has several holes, a scant number of draft choices and no direction.
Bob McKenzie of TSN broke news in early June that Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle hired Morgan Stanley to explore "selling some or all" of the Penguins. Although no sale is imminent, it is never a good sign when the owners are looking to shake things up.
It isn't surprising given the Penguins' inability to do anything in the playoffs since winning a Stanley Cup in 2009, and a lack of significant forward prospects, cap space and depth doesn't bode well for the team in 2015-16.
