Are the Pittsburgh Penguins interested in adding rental winger Alex Chiasson from the Edmonton Oilers? The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reported so on Thursday:
[Rutherford]’s in listening mode and might tweak here and there before Monday. One player that would make sense for Pittsburgh? Alex Chiasson, who has had a nice year on a struggling Edmonton team and is UFA on July 1. He’s got a cheap $650,000 cap hit which is why I know he’s on the Penguins radar.
The Oilers, according to a source, if/when they decide to shop him, will seek a second-round pick or a good prospect for Chiasson.
