The Pittsburgh Penguins came up in the news yesterday when it was revealed Kris Letang requested a trade, and now they may be looking to make it happen.

Kris Letang has been a constant in the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup for the past 18 years, but now, things are changing, with all three of their franchise stars potentially on the way out soon. The latest update on Kris Letang came over the past few days when it was revealed by Mark Madden that he had approached the front office about a potential trade to the Montreal Canadiens, his home town team.
At first, it was dismissed quickly, but now, Madden has expanded on his report, revealing that the Penguins have begun discussions about the situation, showing that they are potentially open to making a deal happen.
«According to Mark Madden, an NHL insider who works for 105.9 The X and TribLive, the Pittsburgh Penguins have discussed the possibility of trading veteran defenseman Kris Letang to the Montreal Canadiens.

Kristopher Letang, who is entering the third year of his $36.6 million contract, has been a cornerstone of the Penguins' defense.»

He would later go on to clarify that there's been no official terms put forth from either team, with Letang expected to enter the 2024/25 season as a Penguin, but if things start slow, there's a world in which he could be traded.
«Letang remains with Pittsburgh for now, but it will be interesting to see if more trade talks with Montreal arise if the Penguins struggle in the 2024-25 season.»
Letang has been a crucial part of the Penguins for almost two decades now, helping the team win three Stanley Cup's, but now, his time in Pittsburgh appears to be running out, and it may not be long until we officially see the end of an era.
