Lars Eller is a player that comes to mind, as word around the league is that the Penguins have been actively shopping him on the trading block.
Eller put up 15 goals and 16 assists in all 82 games he suited up for the Penguins last season. Should Dubas decide to move him out, he will no doubt need someone reliable that he can count on to play in the majority of games, if not all games, just like Eller was able to do.
The Penguins came close to signing Stanley Cup champion Vladimir Tarasenko, but he ultimately chose to sign in Detroit. Dubas will need to shift his attention elsewhere. Another player that comes to mind is Rangers forward Kaapo Kakko.
Things are heating up in Pittsburgh. It's no secret that Sidney Crosby's career is nearing the end, and he will desperately want to have another crack at the Stanley Cup. Dubas will need to be hard at work this summer to ensure that happens.
