The Pittsburgh Penguins are not off to the best of starts this season, going 5-7-2 with a ton of inconsistency.

But things went pretty well last week in two wins against the Florida Panthers and the Nashville Predators, and coincidentally, the Penguins dressed both Avery Hayes and Rutger McGroarty in those games. Both players are already back in the AHL, and Pittsburgh has lost both games since. 

Should the Penguins trade a veteran or two in order to make way for youth and give them some legitimate runway?
