The Pittsburgh Penguins are facing a pivotal moment after missing the playoffs for a third consecutive season. NHL insider Frank Seravalli urges the franchise to embrace a rebuild, moving on from veteran players like Sidney Crosby, who led the team last season, and addressing the inconsistent performance of goalie Tristan Jarry. Seravalli points out that even a wild-card playoff spot seems unlikely unless the team has standout seasons. Meanwhile, new head coach Dan Muse aims to utilize the veteran presence as a cornerstone for next season, suggesting a clash in the team's future direction.
