Per Friedman on headlines.

He also mentioed that rutherford "doesn't like any of the deals out there right now", so it looks like the Penguins will be doing nothing for the time being.

Probably better if they keep the pick, to be honest

waiting till the deadline to see where they are in the standings and with injuries seems the best idea.

Nor should it be. Certainly not yet anyway. And most GMs don't like the deals out there at this time of the year under the cap. There's a reason early season shake up type trades are rare now. Just have to try and battle through with whatever you have. It's not the fun way to do it, but that's the cap.

Not many teams are going to be wanting to a deal a first round pick in this draft class.

“Pens 1st round pick not in play”, and “Rutherford doesn’t like any of the deals out there” don’t strike me as discussion starter thread topics for the Trade forum. Seems like this should be a Pittsburgh team forum thread.

Feel free to raise those media citations in any individual Pittsburgh related trade proposal threads in the Trade forum. This topic doesn’t merit its own thread.
