Last summer, the Penguins surprised everyone by acquiring Ruter McGroarty; this summer, they have a chance to do something similar. Patrick and Hunter begin the Monday edition by discussing why the Pengins should be interested in Tampa Bay prospect, and Hobey Baker winner, Isaac Howard. They get into what it would cost, how Howard would fit into the Penguins' system, and why he is exactly the type of young player that they need. Then, over the weekend, the Penguins announced they had signed 19-year-old Melvin Fernstrom to a three-year, entry-level deal and re-signed forward Boko Imama. This leads to a discussion of why Imama is a good vibes guy and what Fernstrom's ceiling is as a prospect. Finally, it's been reported that this will be Evgeni Malkin's final year with the Penguins...maybe. They get into what the future could hold for the Penguins' great.
