Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas denied speculation about a fire sale, but how many of their top players could be traded?

Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas has dismissed rumors suggesting the team is "looking for a fire sale" ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Addressing the speculation straightforwardly, Dubas ruled out such an idea and outlined the franchise's strategy for as long as the current core of veterans can produce and contend for titles.

With the looming break, we might see something of a “soft” trade deadline before the NHL shuts down on Feb. 8. The Penguins have only eight games before Feb. 9 and 15 games until the March 7 actual deadline.

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.

Even though the Pittsburgh Penguins are still on the fringes of playoff contention it still seems to be a foregone conclusion on what they are going to do in advance of the March 7 NHL trade deadline.
