For better or worse, Penguins have long history of trading away 1st-round draft picks

Heading into NHL Draft, Penguins still trying to replenish prospect pool

On Sports: Ex-Pirates pitcher Roansy Contreras starts for Angels; Canucks do deals with 2 ex-Penguins
Would a 24-year-old recent former top prospect with 30 career MLB starts be an adequate fit for addressing the Pittsburgh Pirates’ depleted depth at starting pitcher?

What to expect from the Penguins as NHL offseason heats up
Former Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford was fairly open with his intentions. He would proclaim publicly he needed a top-six winger, and two weeks later, Jason Zucker showed up via trade. His successor, Ron Hextall, was far more ambiguous. After expressing comfort with his roster, a trade would bring...
Mark Madden: Connor McDavid didn’t choke, exactly, but he’s still not a winner
What will be remembered most? That Connor McDavid had eight points in Games 4 and 5 to rally Edmonton back from a three-games-to-none deficit in the Stanley Cup Final or that he had zero points and didn’t look the part in Games 6 and 7? McDavid won the Conn Smythe...

Peters Township’s Christian Humphreys keeps things in perspective as NHL Draft approachesVideo
Christian Humphreys has been in an NHL dressing room before. And one of the first times he was there, it was something of a minor disaster. At least within the insular realm of hockey that is full of silly and nugatory customs. Like standing on the logo, which teams uphold...

Mark Madden: It’s time for the Penguins to trade Tristan Jarry
The re-signing of goalie Alex Nedeljkovic makes zero sense for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Unless they trade starter Tristan Jarry. Nedeljkovic is reasonably priced at $5 million over two years. (I thought he could get more elsewhere.) He’s a solid journeyman-level goalie. But retaining Nedeljkovic, 28, forms a crowd at the...
