We have a trade to announce! The Penguins have acquired defenseman Matt Dumba from the Dallas Stars! Hunter and Patrick discuss the breaking news that the Penguins traded for Matt Dumba and a 2028 second-round pick in exchange for Vladislav Kolyachonok.

Then, with news that the decentralized draft could be here to stay, they dive into why it’s probably a bad idea and why the NHL should just bring back the old format. Finally, with speculation that the Penguins could trade Erik Karlsson, they look at a couple of destinations that make sense.
