Penguins' Dubas: Rebuild or One More Run?

0:00On April 30, Pittsburgh Penguins crashed out of the playoffs against the Philadelphia Flyers in six games, scoring just 11 goals total with. Their offense straight up disappearing. General Manager Kyle Dubas now stares down big choices on pending free agents like 39-year-old Evgeny Malkin and Goli Stewart Skinner, all. While the clock ticks on the Sydney Crosby era, their power play bombed at 3 for 19, even though a ranked 7th in the regular season. Goli's struggle, too, Skinner posted an 873 save percentage in the first three games, then Arteras de Lowe's stepped in with a 939 mark to spark a comeback. Try, but it wasn't enough. Fans feel the weight of an aging core. Crosby at 38, Malkin, Chris Lattang at 39, carrying most of the scoring load with the top 5. Regulars all over 30. Following Jake Guinsel two years back, Hurt, and Father Time is hitting hard, leaving the team without that old intimidation factor.

1:02Dubas has 45.8 million in cap space in eyes younger talent like Alex Tuch, but he'll likely hit the trade market smartly, building. On wins like Anthony Malthus, 64 points. Question is whether to resign Malkin, who wants to retire a penguin after 61 points in 56 games, or push harder into rebuild mode with. Draftpix intact. Penguin sit in transition, chasing one more run for the legends while weaving in fresh blood. Dubas got a thread that needle just right to keep. Pittsburgh, relevant.
