"We really have to do everything we can as urgently as possible to infuse the organization with really high-quality younger players and give ourselves a chance to add that by adding draft picks, adding prospects in any chance we can get" - GM Dubas on trading for picks/prospects
With the Penguins currently devoid of a first-round pick due to previous trades, including the Erik Karlsson deal with San Jose, Dubas faces a formidable challenge in replenishing the team's draft capital. However, armed with two second-round picks, 44th and 46th overall, the Penguins remain poised to leverage their assets strategically in pursuit of emerging talent.
In the previous draft, the Penguins selected Brayden Yager as the 14th overall pick, solidifying his status as their premier prospect. However, with fewer resources available this year, it appears that Pittsburgh and Dubas will need to employ innovative strategies to secure another standout prospect.
