The two-day NHL Draft will begin in Vancouver tonight and the Penguins will select 21st overall in the first round, unless they trade the pick away. The Pens own five total picks, but none in the second or third rounds.
The Penguins are entertaining offers from teams interested in defenseman Kris Letang, according to The Athletic. The Penguins have told parties any trade would need to require a controllable impact player. According to sources, the two clubs who have contacted general manager Jim Rutherford are in the east and among the 18 teams Letang would approve a deal to.
