Penguins navigate a delicate rebuild with a fresh voice in Dan Muse, signaling a shift from a win-now mindset to a longer-term plan. Early moves centered on trimming cap commitments and adding versatile, durable pieces: Justin Brazeau provides physical depth, Anthony Mantha offers a scoring punch with upside, and Beauvillier adds top-six potential while the club weighs future assets. Washington’s Beauvillier is highlighted as a strategic fit, with Penguins holding their big targets for a price while Crosby, Malkin, and Letang provide veteran steadiness. Goaltending remains unsettled, with Jarry likely to start and a camp battle looming behind him. The squad remains patient into training camp, emphasizing puck pressure and support under the new coach while Crosby signals commitment to shop for a playoff return rather than rush a rebuild.
