Pittsburgh Penguins general manager/president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas addressed the media on Friday, and he made two things very clear — changes are on the horizon, but a full-scale rebuild is probably not going to be among them.
Dubas did not make an official declaration on the future of head coach Mike Sullivan (or any other member of the staff) and also said that he did not think a “scorched-earth” rebuild is the way to approach things this offseason.
Instead, he wants to re-tool around the veteran players in place and add youth around them, adding that players like Owen Pickering, Brandon Yager, Sam Poulin and Joel Blomqvist to compete for roles on the 2024-25 roster.
