Evgeni Malkin might be slowing down, but that doesn't mean he's cooked. There is a way to get some of the Malkin magic back! Patrick and Hunter start the Wednesday edition of the show discussing the Penguins signing first-round pick Ben Kindel to a three-year entry-level contract. They discuss what the contract entails, what it means for next season, and how it will impact his development. Then, despite there being interest in college prospect Issac Howard, the Penguins ultimately were unable to trade for him, after the Lightning sent him to Edmonton. They dive into how the price was likely too steep and could have potentially set their rebuild back ever so slightly. Finally, Evgeni Malkin, with one year left on his contract, had a down year last year, but all is not lost. They talk about what the team needs to do to get him producing once again.
