What should the Pittsburgh Penguins do with Tristan Jarry? A one-sided trade? Send him through waivers? Bury him in the AHL? Let him work out his kinks and hope for the best? [PensBurgh]
Michael Bunting, the hot acquisition at last season’s trade deadline for Jake Guentzel, has already seen the press box once this season. Pittsburgh’s defense has been abysmal through the first two weeks of the 2024-25 season. And maybe most surprisingly, the Sidney Crosby line has been largely nonexistent. These are some of the biggest disappointments for the team so far. [PensBurgh]
It may be surprising to think about now, but defenseman Marcus Pettersson has been with the team since coming over from the Anaheim Ducks in December 2018. “Everyone likes ‘Petey,’” said Penguins forward Drew O’Connor, who made his way to Pettersson’s hometown of Skelleftea, Sweden, in July for Pettersson’s wedding. While Pettersson loves Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh is fond of the defensive defenseman, he knows contract negotiations are on the horizon. [Trib Live]
