Penguins’ Kyle Dubas won’t say rebuild, but his ‘mission’ is about the future
New York TimesCRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Earlier this week, Kyle Dubas and Patrik Allvin checked in with each other about Marcus Pettersson, and not for the first time. “They’d had a long interest in Marcus,” Dubas said Saturday morning, fewer than 12 hours after a multi-asset trade that sent Pettersson to the Canucks and either a 2025 or 2026 first-round pick from the New York Rangers — yeah, it’s complicated — went to the Penguins.
