An insider identified three Pittsburgh Penguins players that are most likely to be traded this season by Kyle Dubas.

Last night, the Pittsburgh Penguins' struggles reached a new low in a 7-1 loss to the Dallas Stars. More and more people believe it's time for the Penguins to start thinking about rebuilding.
After his declaration, new reports emerged suggesting that anyone in Pittsburgh is available on the market, except Sidney Crosby:
With that in mind, The Athletic's Josh Yohe talked about who the Penguins could trade this season.
The reporter pointed out three players that could change teams soon: Marcus Pettersson, Rickard Rakell, and Lars Eller. He thinks they will all be traded by the deadline, and suggests that Dubas shouldn't wait until then to do it. He even discussed the idea of trading Kris Letang.
According to him, that would be the fastest way to bring back the Penguins to the top.
In his own words:
«What's the point in keeping Marcus Pettersson, Rickard Rakell, and Lars Eller?

We all know they're getting traded by the deadline, especially Pettersson and Eller. Why wait until then if an eager team is out there?»

"As things stand, there is no hope. The quicker Dubas initiates a rebuild, as opposed to signing Matt Grzelcyk and trading for Hayes (I know, the draft pick was helpful) in the summer, the faster hope will be born again in Pittsburgh.

It might be time to have a chat with Kris Letang, too."

There are many things the Penguins can do to help Sidney Crosby win a Stanley Cup. Hopefully, for the fans, Kyle Dubas will be able to use his trade assets to bolster the bottom-six, and ideally fix his goaltending unit, which has sunk the team for the past two years.
