TAMPA, Fla. — The Penguins would be forgiven if they were emotionally drained after the last few days, with trade winds swirling and a flurry of roster moves.
The team said goodbye to Brock McGinn for now and Teddy Blueger and Kasperi Kapanen for good. Some players wondered if they would be goners, too, as the Penguins kicked the tires on the likes of J.T. Miller and Jakob Chychrun. Then they watched general manager Ron Hextall acquire Mikael Granlund.
Even for a roster stocked with 30-somethings, it has all been a lot to process.
