For one, a lot of the Penguins’ underlying numbers in 2024-25 were respectable, especially as they related to generating offense and scoring chances. They were right around the 50 percent mark (or above) with expected goals shares, scoring chance shares and high-danger scoring chances shares, largely due to their ability to create opportunities.

With the offseason slowing down a bit for the Pittsburgh Penguins and general manager Kyle Dubas, there is a sense that there won’t be any more major moves for the team, at least not for now.

The Toronto Maple Leafs could part with their prized prospect to land a top-six winger to take Mitch Marner's place.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are working to fill the gap created by Mitch Marner’s departure this offseason. One player that has been rumored as a potential replacement is Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust. According to insider David Alter, Rust "perfectly fits the identity of what this Toronto Maple Leafs team wants to be."

Erik Karlsson was recently linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but now David Pagnotta has shut down any speculation surrounding the Penguins veteran blue liner.

A trade pitch has the Toronto Maple Leafs acquiring Bryan Rust from the Pittsburgh Penguins in a blockbuster to help replace Marner.
