There have been plenty of rumors surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins this year.
Earlier this week, reports emerged suggesting that Erik Karlsson was on the trade block as the team looks to get younger.
This is just one of a number of rumors surrounding the club. Now, Kyle Dubas is out to set the record straight.
Today, he made a statement in response to a specific comment made by NHL reporter Marco D'Amico, who claimed that the organization was preparing for a 'fire sale.'
Dubas did not like that comment, insisting that the core will remain together going into the future.
Assuming Dubas is telling the truth, this would seem to imply that the Penguins trade deadline may be a bit more quiet that we were expecting.
A few depth pieces are likely to be moved, but it doesn't seem like Dubas is planning on another Erik Karlsson or Jake Guentzel trade.
That being said, everything is subject to change. What if the Penguins go on a run before the deadline?
Could they actually become buyers? Or perhaps the team completely implodes, moving things in the other direction. We will just have to wait to find out.
