[Chris Johnston] Beyond Crosby and Malkin, Penguins have no untouchables in trade talks. They will be aggressive in trading older players at the trade deadline, with the goal being to get younger

Also says Penguins don’t want to retain for multiple years with their last retention slot this season. They’ll be careful with how they use it (CJ says they won’t retain to trade Karlsson this season).

Penguins prefer young NHL players over picks and prospects but will settle for the best young package if need be, which Elliotte Friedman also corroborated earlier in the season.
