NHL insider Chris Johnston's latest trade board for The Athletic is out, and three Pittsburgh Penguins have been included on it. Defenseman Brett Kulak, forward Bryan Rust, and blueliner Erik Karlsson have all made the cut.
With the benefit of 17 years in the NHL, Erik Karlsson has seen more bad stretches over his career than Reed Richards. So the wily defenseman understands the value of levity in trying times such as the Pittsburgh Penguins are enduring at the moment via a five-game losing streak (0-1-4).
The Pittsburgh Penguins are likely not done making moves in the trade market just yet. Pittsburgh recently sent Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers to acquire fellow goalie Stuart Skinner. The deal, however, also included the Penguins getting defenseman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick.
When the Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Erik Karlsson from the Sharks in August 2023, they envisioned him giving their big three (Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang) one last push for a playoff run.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are looking to break a six-game losing streak with a victory against the Ottawa Senators.
