The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a tough spot as we head into the trade deadline. Recently, general manager Kyle Dubas revealed what direction the team is likely to go at that fateful day approaches. <h2>Dubas Admits Trading Guentzel At Deadline Is A Likely Outcome</h2> In a recent media availability, Dubas conceded that the team has not performed as he would have hoped so far. He emphasized the team's need to get younger as they try to maintain a good long-term outlook. The general manager noted that how the team plays in the final weeks heading into the deadline will determine how he approaches it, but his tone and word choice both seem to indicate that the Penguins will likely be selling at the deadline. <q>Penguins GM Kyle Dubas covered a lot in his pre-trade deadline media availibility this afternoon. He talked Jake Guentzel's future, his confidence in HC Mike Sullivan, and why the Pens won't be going through a complete rebuild ⬇️⬇️</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JennaHarner11/status/1760452204014526559'> </a></blockquote></div> <h2>Several Teams Calling Dubas About Guentzel Trade Possibility</h2> NHL insider Elliotte Friedman recently discussed the Penguins trade deadline possibilities, specifically regarding Jake Guentzel. When discussing the player, he revealed several teams that he believes have expressed interest. <q>I think some of the teams that have expressed interest include the likes of Vegas, Vancouver, Edmonton, Carolina, Florida, and I have no doubt that there are more. But I believe this has also gone beyond Guentzel. There are other players in the Pittsburgh organization that have begun to get attention, obviously none of the big guys, they aren't doing that, but one position that I think teams have started to ask about and the Penguins will consider is goal.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1761578641127768227'> </a></blockquote></div> According to Friedman, teams have also begun to ask about the team's goaltenders. Notably, the goaltending market this year seems to be rather thin. With scoring up across the league, playoff teams will want to ensure they have reliable goaltenders they can count on in the playoffs. Tristan Jarry has been quite good this year, posting a 2.53 goals-against-average and a 9.13 save percentage, both well above league average, despite the team's mediocre play this year. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DrakeMT/status/1760834675914727508'> </a></blockquote></div> It will certainly be an eventful trade deadline for the Penguins this year.
