The NHL in a salary cap world is often a league constantly changing and sliding around from year-to-year. Since the Penguins are basically set for 2018-19, we decided to set the outlook for what the team looks like, as of now, on July 1 2019 as Pittsburgh will look to shape their 2019-20 team. Obviously, huge disclaimer that projecting a year out is tough in hockey since a lot of meaningful decisions in the coming year in terms of possible trades and contract extensions can and will make a big difference. So surely what you see below isn’t exactly how the team will look 12 months from now, but it is how it looks as of now.
