If there is one thing we know about Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ron Hextall it is that he tends to keep things quiet. Nobody — literally nobody — had projected the Penguins to acquire Jeff Carter at the NHL trade deadline a year ago, and I am not sure many people had them connected to Danton Heinen or Brock McGinn this past summer in free agency. He does not let information slip out, which makes days like trade deadline a little bit of a mystery.
So with that said, let us go through a few names to watch for on Monday as the Penguins look to add to their roster to keep pace with the other Stanley Cup contenders in the Eastern Conferernce.
