Going into the 2025 offseason, the Pittsburgh Penguins will still have Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell and Tristan Jarry under contract, plus the possibility of bringing Sidney Crosby back if he wants to continue his career.
Whether Crosby is back or not, the Penguins still might not be ready to completely hit the reset button on a rebuild, especially with some core players still under contract.
Marner would not only give the Penguins a short-term impact player to play alongside the likes of Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Karlsson, but he could also be the new focal point of the offense as some of those names start to retire.
