The All-Star Break was supposed to be the line in the sand for the Pittsburgh Penguins and what their trade deadline plan would be. But general manager Kyle Dubas does not seem eager to make a decision on what direction he wants to take, and he is quickly running out of time on making that decision.
Likewise, the Penguins themselves are running out of time to get themselves back into the Stanley Cup Playoff race. These four games this week will almost certainly dictate what they end up doing on Mar. 8, because after this four-game West Coast road trip they only have two more games before the trade deadline.
