At some point they are going to have to start shedding salary and bad contracts. They have roughly $78.5m in committed salary and have to fill 3 NHL roster spots next season. The cap is supposedly going to be $83m next year. Rutherford has a long history of irresponsible spending and it will eventually catch up with the team and could be the reason to take the Penguins out of the contention window long before declining skill does so it might be a good idea to save the #1 pick this year unless you can get a good player on a friendly contract with term. Penguins #1 picks are always later in the round so it's really like a 2nd round pick so I don't see that happening unless you can pair that with another roster player. Combining Jarry and the #1 might be their only option in making that happen but they likely don't have the value to bring a substantial return.
