The Penguins have already made a couple of moves this week as the deadline looms, and from what I'm hearing, they aren't done yet.

Josh Yohe of The Athletic: Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bryan Rust has a no-movement clause ... Dubas wants or plans on trading forward Rickard Rakell. He would listen and consider if a big offer ...

The actions belied many of the words used by the Pittsburgh Penguins after getting skunked 4-0 by the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena. The Penguins were visibly frustrated, if not disgusted, with themselves after the game.

Despite a strong seller’s market at the NHL trade deadline Friday, Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas did not trade the winger. The reasons to keep Rakell were abundantly clear Friday night in the Penguins’ 4-0 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Rickard Rakell is one of the most coveted players around the league ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline.

If the last few days have taught us anything about this year's NHL trade deadline, it sure is a seller's market.

In Toronto, Kyle Dubas' mandate was to make a good team something more than that. He failed. The 105-point club he inherited won all of one playoff series
