It’s the Penguins offseason, which means a variety of media members floating numerous theories, suggestions, and best of all, predictions that they’ll be trading star players.
Usually it’s Evgeni Malkin or Kris Letang. Now it’s starting to be Phil Kessel. Hell, some idiot columnist will have to take to his grave the fact he said “don’t be surprised if the Pens trade Phil Kessel” in summer 2017. If that was FOLLOWING winning the Cup two times in two years. Surely the vultures will be circling now.
It’s just a thought floated by the Post-Gazette’s Jason Mackey, who isn’t a hot take artist by any means, and perhaps it’s fine in the summer to think of all angles.
