Pittsburgh Penguins Could be on the Verge of Trading 3 More Players, per Insider
Pittsburgh Penguins insider Josh Yohe named three more players the team is likely to trade before the 3PM EST trade deadline tomorrow.
Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins have already seen a lot of change over the past few days.
On Wednesday, we saw the team trade Michael Bunting to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Luke Schenn and Tommy Novak.
We also saw them make a minor deal with the San Jose Sharks, as they picked up a late round draft pick for defenseman Vincent Desharnais.
There are still plenty of big names available in Pittsburgh including Rickard Rakell, Bryan Rust, and Erik Karlsson.
While any of those players being traded would be major news for the entire league, it seems as though all three will most likely be staying in Pittsburgh, baring a last minute scramble, which is always possible.
However, Penguins insider Josh Yohe did note that the team is still busy and most within the organization are expecting them to make at least one more move before Friday's 3PM EST deadline.
He specifically lists Anthony Beauvillier, Matt Grzelcyk and Noel Acciari as players that are likely to be moved.
"Most in the organization are expecting multiple moves between now and 3 p.m. ET on Friday. From what I can tell, most of the players are also anticipating that Dubas is going to be a very busy man.
Between Anthony Beauvillier, Matt Grzelcyk and Noel Acciari, I'd have to think at least one of those players gets moved, if not more. The Penguins have received calls about all three and, given the marketplace, it seems likely that any or all of the three could go." - Josh Yohe

None of those players are big names, but the majority of moves contenders make on deadline day is for depth players so we very well could see at least one if not all three of them with new clubs by the end of the day tomorrow.
Regardless it will be an exciting and anxious day for Penguins fans tomorrow, so be sure to tune in to see what Dubas does.
