It\u2019s now deep into July and the Penguins are still sitting on all their veterans. They haven\u2019t made a major trade since the draft. Time is going by but we\u2019re still waiting to see what might be the next shoe to drop as Kyle Dubas works to reshape the roster and set the club up for success in the future. The lack of culminated trades doesn\u2019t mean that there hasn\u2019t been a flurry of talks and attempts behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
The surprising thing about the market being so quiet \u2014 Penguins or otherwise \u2014 is that several teams are sitting out there with holes to address and presumably the ambition to match.<\/p>\n
Frank Seravalli: Still in the market, still in the mix for a top six forward: Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Flames, Canucks, Rangers, Devils, Capitals, Blues, Kraken and Kings – Bleacher Report<\/p>\n
\u2014 NHL Rumour Report (@NHLRumourReport) July 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n One thing becoming clear is the news is likely to break out of nowhere, with little notice or build up. Watch it be a trade of Rakell\/Rust to not even one of the 10 teams named above believed to be in the market for an upgrade. (Then again, with so many different names listed that might be covering enough bases..) Anyways, news about the Pens these days goes from hearing absolutely nothing to then seeing a completed piece of business come out of left field. This is by design from Dubas.<\/p>\n every penguins rumour this summer: dubas could make this move, but also, he might not…<\/p>\n every penguins move this summer: zero advanced warning, no rumours whatsoever<\/p>\n
