General Manager
Kyle Dubas addressed the speculation on a radio show, stating,
"We haven't had any discussions with teams about Jake — anything out there is pure speculation."
Dubas emphasized the evaluation process, saying, "We'll continue to go through the season here, and I'll continue to evaluate where we're at. Either after the All-Star break or after the season, we'll do what's best for everybody — best for the Penguins, best for Jake, and we'll determine that together. That's really it."
