Still, I keep going back to what several team sources have told me: Dubas wants to go young next season.
As July turns into August and training camp is less than seven weeks away, remember those words. Things are quiet at the moment. However, as we all know, that can change. A big trade or two feels likely before training camp.
Again, the goal is to get younger. Rust and Rakell are good enough that they'll not only hurt the Penguins' chances of earning a top-five pick, but they should also fetch a significant return.
They could both be on the opening night roster, of course, but I'd be surprised if that happens.
