Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

A new book from Craig Custance is set to be released later this year and one of the people he spoke with is now Penguins President of Hockey Operations, Kyle Dubas. Patrick and Hunter discuss that excerpt, his time in Toronto, and what he has to change to be successful in Pittsburgh. After that, they talk about how recent reporting found that the Penguins have yet to hold any kind of contract extension talks with defenseman Marcus Pettersson. So, should they extend him, trade him, or lose him? Finally, the Baby Penguins continue filling out their roster showing that they will continue building toward becoming a consistently competitive AHL team.

Twenty-three years ago the Penguins traded Jaromir Jagr to the Washington Capitals for a whole lotta nothing. Patrick and Hunter talk about the trade, what it meant to the franchise at the time, and how Jagr’s trade to Washington actually helped usher in some of the most successful hockey for both franchises. Next, now that the draft is behind us, they keep the so-called bad vibes going and look back at some absolute whiffs in the Penguins' draft history, especially in the Crosby era. Finally, RC Cola is out, Coca-Cola is in at PPG Paints Arena, a long-time member of the Penguins staff retires, and the first player from the 2024 draft class signs his ELC.

The Pittsburgh Penguins development camp is officially in the books and it's time to see who stood out. Hunter and Patrick discuss the top performers of the camp and how Sergei Murashov was going off during the tournament on Wednesday. They also discuss how Brayden Yager and Owen Pickering played, plus where Murashov could play next season if he signs his ELC. After that, they do a post-July 1 look at the Metropolitan Division and who the contenders are versus who the pretenders are. Finally, the day has come...CapFriendly is officially offline and Hunter and Pat discuss what that means for the Penguins, as well as how it's a major loss for NHL fans. They also discuss which websites will have to step up in its place.

Penguins President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas announced the hiring of Wes Clark on Tuesday - a huge get for the front office. On this edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast, Patrick and Hunter discuss what this means for the organization moving forward, how it will impact the draft, and if this says something about the Maple Leafs front office. Next, some pundits have said that Kyle Dubas needs to make "bold" trades, but does he? They talk about some players that they could target that qualify more as creative than they would as bold. Finally, Sidney Crosby is hockey and Pittsburgh royalty, but his pop-in at the Copa America tournament shows he's absolutely Canadian royalty.

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.

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.

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?

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.

The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired Kevin Hayes and a second-round pick from the St. Louis Blues for virtually...nothing! Well, almost nothing.

They also look at what could come next and what this move tells us about the long-term plans that Kyle Dubas has for this team.
