Three Penguins players appear on NHL trade board ahead of offseason

NHL insider Frank Seravalli included Tommy Novak, Rickard Rakell, and Bryan Rust on his latest trade board. Novak is ranked 23rd and is entering the final year of his contract as a pending UFA, making him a potential trade chip. Rakell, at No. 24, has been a frequent subject of trade rumors, with a strong performance last season that has increased his trade value. Rust, listed at No. 37, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Penguins, and while trading him would be significant, the team could consider it for the right offer. The Penguins may be looking to reshape their roster as they approach the offseason.
