NHL insider Elliotte Friedman appearing on Sportsnet Radio 590 echoed that same stance in saying the Penguins are on the fringe.

“I think Pittsburgh is on the fringe,” Friedman said. “I think the Penguins have to do some other things in order to even have a chance, and I’m not really sure they have the room to get there.”
