It’s that time of the year again and with the NHL trade deadline rapidly approaching on February 26, 2018 at 3:00pm Eastern, the Pittsburgh Penguins are in an interesting spot. They’re not quite at the top of the league, but they have been one of the hottest teams since January. The Penguins are currently in second place in the Metropolitan division, but have played a couple more games than some of their division rivals. Additionally, the lineup as currently constructed has been making a good run, minus the recent injuries to Conor Sheary, Patric Hornqvist, Tom Kuhnhackl, and others.
