Despite Penguins GM Kyle Dubas recently saying there would be no fire sale, NHL insider Josh Yohe has named which players could be moved this season.

The NHL trading deadline approaches, and the Penguins have started to make deals in preparation for March 7th. They're in sell mode, and more deals could follow.

The overhaul won't be a complete one, as GM Kyle Dubas has specifically said he does not want to have a fire sale, but it will be a big one. What everyone wants to know is, who stays, and who doesn't.

After speaking with sources in and out of the Penguins' organization, an updated rundown of where things stand was revealed by Penguins insider Josh Yohe of 'The Athletic'.

The 'Every GM Has a Price' Division includes Rickard Rakell. The Penguins aren't excited to trade Rakell. They don't want to and they'll likely retain him unless they receive an offer that completely blows them away.

The 'Open for Discussion' Division includes Anthony Beauvillier, Matt Grzelcyk, Alex Nedeljkovic, Kevin Hayes, Blake Lizotte, Noel Acciari, Matt Nieto, Bryan Shea, and Pierre-Olivier Joseph.

These players are some that Dubas is willing to move, but he will need to have some deep talks with teams for them.

The 'Flip' division includes Danton Heinen and Vincent Desharnais. If the right offer came around, Dubas would likely trade them in a one-for-one deal.

The 'We'd Rather Not, But We Can Talk' Division includes Michael Bunting, Cody Glass, and Philip Tomasino. Dubas recently stated he wanted to go younger, and referenced Tomasino as an example, so it's not likely he would trade him.

'Maybe Next Year' Division includes Bryan Rust. The Penguins are absolutely not trading him this season, but would likely listen to offers in the offseason or next year.

The 'Please, Let's Talk' Division includes Ryan Graves and Tristan Jarry. These are two players that Dubas would likely sleep better at night with if they were off his team ASAP.

The 'Hall of Fame' Division includes Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. These are superstar players who would require a high price to acquire, but they are definitely not untouchables.

Everyone else on the Penguins roster is considered an untouchable. The Penguins are in transition, and with days to go until the trade deadline, additional deals could follow. Tune in.
