"Penguins' Offseason Outlook: Free Agency, Trades, and a Focus on the Present"

The Pittsburgh Penguins are assessing their roster heading into the NHL free agency period. While their top-six forwards look solid, their bottom-six remains a mess, and they have cap space to make improvements. The team is also considering buying out Mikael Granlund's contract to free up cap space. On defense, they need to find a partner for Kris Letang and may explore trade options for defenseman Jeff Petry. Goaltender Tristan Jarry is expected to become an unrestricted free agent, and the Penguins may look for a short-term deal with him while finding a 1B goalie.
