Figuring out Kevin Hayes's fit on the Penguins with Haley Taylor Simon!

On Monday morning, we learned that the Pittsburgh Penguins and captain Sidney Crosby are reportedly close to finalizing an extension that would keep him in Pittsburgh for the remainder of his career. Hunter and Patrick discuss why this is good business for the franchise, what it means for the rest of his career, and how they could take one last run with him ( at some point) before he hangs it up. They also discuss how the engagement farming and the unhinged conversations regarding Sid's contract can hopefully be put to rest when this gets announced. After that, they check in with some of the prospects at development camp, including Brayden Yager and Owen Pickering. They discuss how it looks like men against boys out there for Yager against everyone else and how Pickering has put on some muscle. They then end the show with Sergei Murashov coming over from Russia and what that could mean for the Penguins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Pittsburgh Penguins made another signing on Tuesday in defenseman Sebastian Aho, and no he's not the one from the Carolina Hurricanes. They got the depth defender from the Islanders and Hunter and Patrick discuss what he brings to the Penguins and how there's a sudden logjam on defense. Will he be able to carve out a full-time role for himself? Who will be feeling the most pressure in that defensive group? After that, they discuss the Penguins schedule that was released on Tuesday and they highlight some of the great games and long road trips. They discuss how crazy opening night will be and how the Penguins will play a lot of road games to start the season. They also look at how odd part of this schedule is before ending the show with development camp and who to watch for this weekend. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

After a day of going bargain shopping in free agency, the Penguins are reportedly looking to make somewhat of a splash by adding Stanley Cup champion Vladimir Tarasenko in free agency. Patrick and Hunter discuss what it would take to get him out of Florida should they not re-sign him, where he would fit, and if this is even a smart move by Kyle Dubas. Next, they go over the official contract for Blake Lizotte and how this was one of the Penguins' savviest signings of the offseason as well as all the AHL depth added. Finally, what's left for this team to do and could they move a pretty big piece to kick this rebuild/retool? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins were active on July 1st, but it wasn't for any kind of big game hunting. To start today's show, Hunter and Patrick discuss the team announcing the signings of defenseman Matt Grezlcyk and forward Anthony Beauvillier. They start with the former and analyze what the Penguins are getting in him. Is there a chance he can get back to the level that he has played at before? Should they have went after some better options? The two ask the same questions for Beauvillier since he had a rotten 2023-24 season. They then look at the Blake Lizotte move and why that's a slam dunk move for the 4C. They then analyze the Reilly Smith trade and how Dubas did a decent job with it before looking at some comments that Dubas made to the media. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Patrick and Taylor discuss some of the prospects she interviewed at the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo earlier this summer, what their upsides are, some of their downsides, and if there is a chance any of them could fall to the Penguins in the second round or deeper into the draft.
