The Pittsburgh Penguins are under pressure following a significant 7-1 defeat, prompting General Manager Kyle Dubas to initiate roster changes. He traded center Lars Eller back to the Washington Capitals in exchange for draft picks, signaling a potential shift in strategy.

Despite the Penguins' struggles this season, Dubas is reportedly not considering a full rebuild while Sidney Crosby remains on the team. The focus appears to be on acquiring players who can contribute to winning now, rather than solely accumulating draft picks.
