The 2021 NHL trade deadline has come and gone, how do the Pittsburgh Penguins stack up compared to the others in the division?
With the contenders in the East division making moves to shore up holes in the lineup or bolster areas of strength, the Penguins only made one move this deadline.
In a surprising move, the Penguins addressed a third line center hole and traded for Los Angeles’ Jeff Carter late Sunday night. The idea of adding a versatile veteran forward with Stanley Cup experience to an already potent Pens’ offense should get Pens’ fans excited.
