The Pittsburgh Penguins have refuted reports of a fire sale in recent weeks. After trading Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals earlier in the season, it appeared as if the team would start tearing things down.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are indeed looking to add younger players and prospects, and they will likely do so via the NHL trade market. General manager Kyle Dubas has racked up frequent flyers miles scouting numerous teams looking to uncover young players who may be available.

The Penguins (44 points) are 18-20-8, ranking sixth in the Metropolitan Division and seventh in the Eastern Conference wild-card race. They trail the Columbus Blue Jackets, owners of the second wild-card berth, by four points in the standings.
