NHL Insider Says Red Wings Leading Race to Land Penguins' Rust
Insider reports indicate the Red Wings being the top contender to land Penguins winger Bryan Rust.
The Penguins are reportedly shopping most of their roster except Sidney Crosby, with winger Bryan Rust drawing strong interest from the Detroit Red Wings. Rust, a key part of Pittsburgh’s Cup wins in 2016 and 2017, could fill Detroit’s need for a top-six forward alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
A Michigan native and Red Wings fan, Rust is coming off a career-best 65-point season and has outproduced several top wingers recently. His experience and scoring ability could boost Detroit’s offense, and his age means the trade likely won’t cost the Red Wings top-tier prospects.
