It's no secret that the Pittsburgh Penguins have been a massive disappointment this season and to start the show, Hunter looks at how it came to this. He goes into the numbers with how the Penguins were set up beautifully with their top players coming back at discounts and how Ron Hextall butchered the rest of the lineup badly. He looks at how it shouldn't have been so hard for him to make a few changes because the core players take up less than $30 million combined for this season. It is not and has not been the core's fault all year. In the second segment, Hunter discusses a Jeff Petry rumor he saw today and what he's heard about it. He also analyzes Petry's season so far and why it wouldn't really make much sense to deal him unless you're getting Timo Meier or someone similar in return. That said, is there a defenseman that he would move to free up some space? Stick around for that answer. To end the show, Hunter dissects what Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman discussed on the Jeff Marek Show on Tuesday and why the Penguins need to say no to adding sandpaper (unless that player can score).
