The Pittsburgh Penguins Are Eyeing Several Soon-To-Be Unrestricted Free Agents
The Pittsburgh Penguins are setting the stage for a critical offseason following a season that fell short of expectations. With a clear need to refine their roster, they're casting a keen eye on several soon-to-be unrestricted free agents.
Topping their list of priorities is Jake DeBrusk, a left winger, from the Boston Bruins.
Whose knack for finding the back of the net could help mitigate the loss of
Jake Guentzel. DeBrusk's dynamic play and scoring ability make him an attractive option to revitalize the Penguins' top-six forward group.
In the defensive department, the Penguins have their sights set on Alexandre Carrier. A right-shot defenseman, of the
Nashville Predators
Carrier could strengthen their defensive core without demanding a hefty salary, offering a cost-effective solution for their bottom pair.
For a dose of toughness and reliability, Nicolas Aube-Kubel fits the bill. Coming off a strong season with the
Washington Capitals
, Aube-Kubel could add some much-needed grit and depth to the Penguins' lower forward lines, rounding out their lineup with his hardworking playstyle.
