The Pittsburgh Penguins are entering a transition phase and GM Kyle Dubas is urgently trying to trade for draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft.

In a recent interview with NHL.com, Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas commented on what he is trying to do for the Penguins to accelerate their rebuild.

"We really have to do everything we can as urgently as possible to infuse the organization with really high-quality younger players and give ourselves a chance to add that by adding draft picks, adding prospects in any chance we can get" - GM Dubas on trading for picks/prospects

Currently, the Penguins are without a first-round pick because they traded it to San Jose as a part of the Erik Karlsson trade, but they do have two second-round picks, 44th and 46th overall. With an aging core, the Penguins may wind up trading some of their older talent in exchange for a first-round pick this year.

Last year, the Penguins drafted Brayden Yager 14th overall and he is undoubtedly their top prospect at the moment. With less draft capital than last year, it looks like Pittsburgh and Dubas will need to work some magic if they want to pick up another top prospect.
