Penguins Linked to Former 44-Goal Scorer in Sneaky Move

The Penguins are being tied to a former 44-goal scorer, which is the kind of rumor that always makes people in the room sit up a little straighter. Pittsburgh has been hunting for ways to add punch, and a name like this is never thrown around by accident. The appeal is obvious, but the real question is whether the fit makes sense once the dollars, role, and age curves show up. These are the kinds of bets front offices make when they think one more scoring jolt can change the conversation.
