Pittsburgh Penguins' Future in Jeopardy as Insider Reveals Shocking News
Insider Frank Seravalli has revealed some disappointing news for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who will be changing their direction this year.
Their core isn't as strong as they used to be, despite an incredible showing by Sidney Crosby this season, and they don't have great consistency between the pipes.
Seravalli put it as such:
Thus, Ron Hextall has to make a big decision on how the team approaches the trade deadline.
It is now all but official, the Penguins won't be selling their first-round pick unless the right opportunity arises. This implies that the team isn't as confident in their core as they've been in past years, and that they aren't ready to hedge their future on a long-shot.
This is probably the right move, especially with the incredibly strong nature of the eastern conference, but it definitely represents the end of an era in Pittsburgh.
We will see if Crosby one day gets his fourth cup. If he does, it probably won't be this year.
