YinzCenter's NHL Trade Deadline Extravaganza: Embrace the Tank, go Celibate for Celebrini

The 2024 NHL Trade Deadline has officially passed, the Penguins sold assets and you are thinking "What is this? This team gets REAL players at the deadline, not prospects. Some listeners might actually not remember what it's like for the Penguins to sell assets as the last time the team actually did that was probably the 2004 deadline (20 freaking years ago, can you believe it??). If you find yourself in that boat, YinzCenter will be glad to let you know that it's not doom and gloom, but an ugly, necessary reality of what needed to be addressed. Do you really think locking up ANOTHER 30+ year old player to ANOTHER $6M+ contract is a good idea? Of course it isn't. It's time to embrace the tank and let some lottery balls determine our futureWe break down the ugly necessities of trading Guentzel, we decide we are going Celibate for (Macklin) Celebrini in hopes the Pens receive the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, and we grade EVERY #NHLTradeDeadline deal that went down in our NHL Trade Deadline Extravaganza!!
