It’s another week, and another national report about the Pittsburgh Penguins poking around looking for defensive help. Most currently from Elliotte Friedman today:
Los Angeles is also fielding queries from opponents looking for defence. I’d heard a link between Jake Muzzin and Tampa Bay, but that was debunked. Could also see Pittsburgh (among others) checking out both Muzzin and Alec Martinez, currently out of the lineup.
In theory, add Jake Muzzin or Alec Martinez to the blueline with Brian Dumoulin, Kris Letang and a healthy Justin Schultz and suddenly that’s a really good top-4 personnel-wise.
