The Pittsburgh Penguins have three of this generations best players on their team, and with all being in the latest stages of their career, it appears they're readying themselves for one last Stanley Cup run.

Another big pickup coming?

After the blockbuster deal to land Erik Karlsson a week ago, the Penguins seemingly aren't done, as top free agent Tomas Tatar has confirmed he is in talks with Pittsburgh.

It was, but I don't want to develop it further. Keep it to myself. I said a couple of times who I was talking with and it always went the other way.

The Penguins have already added Reilly Smith, Ryan Graves and Erik Karlsson this off-season, so they've made their intentions clear, and if they can add Tatar to the core of Crosby, Guentzel, Malkin and Letang, this will be a very dangerous team.

Over the past three years, Tatar has put up a solid 108 points with 45 goals, and if he is willing to accept a shorter deal (as that was a holdup early in the free agency process), Pittsburgh may be the perfect landing spot.
