Happy Star Wars Day! In honor of that, Hunter first discusses one of the Empire's most sinister agents...yes, Jeff Carter. Pretty good, no? Huner goes over Carter's season in review as it was an absolute mess. He dives into the numbers and how his counting stats would maybe look OK if he were a fourth-line center for every game but that's not what the Penguins are paying him to be. Hunter looks at how these numbers are probably what you can expect from him again next season unless he gets even more washed. He also pleads for Mike Sullivan to stop using him in high-leverage situations since Carter is not cut out for that. He's not Patrice Bergeron or Anze Kopitar and never has been! Hunter also argues that the Penguins need a true third-line center for next season and beyond since Carter can't handle those duties anymore, either. After that, Hunter looks at some players who could bounce back for the Penguins next season even though the list isn't very long. Finally, he discusses another option in goal that the team could look at, especially if he comes out of the players' assistance program like Jakub Vrana did. All of that, plus much more is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
