The Pittsburgh Penguins are determined to distance themselves from former GM Ron Hextall's management approach.

President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas is already taking action to address one of Hextall's biggest blunders: forward Mikael Granlund.
Acquired at the trade deadline for a 2023 second-round pick, Granlund's $5 million annual contract over two more years is burdensome, considering his lackluster on-ice impact.
Dubas aims to free up those funds to build a contender around Crosby, Malkin, and Letang before their retirement.

Trading Granlund may be challenging, with few teams willing to part with valuable assets.
Alternatively, Dubas may consider a buyout, which needs a decision soon after the Stanley Cup Finals.
Dubas is actively seeking the best solution, signaling a fresh direction for the Penguins.
