Will there be big names moved in the offseason as a result of early playoff exits? -- @MrBen551
The team to look at is Pittsburgh Penguins. They were swept by the New York Islanders in the Eastern Conference First Round and never really had the chemistry and consistency they were hoping for all season. Center
Sidney Crosby isn't going anywhere and I highly doubt the Penguins will trade center
Evgeni Malkin because the return won't match what he can do for the Penguins. However, I wouldn't rule out either forward
Phil Kessel or defenseman
Kris Letang being traded. Kessel, who is 31 and has three years remaining on his contract, has 174 points (61 goals, 113 assists) in 164 games the past two seasons. Production is not the issue. Getting younger and faster on the wing is, especially with Malkin turning 33 and Crosby 32 this offseason. Letang turned 32 on April 24 and missed 17 games this season because of injury.
