We're almost to the end of another work week! Hunter is joined by The Athletic's Rob Rossi for the first time since around the trade deadline to discuss all things related to the Pittsburgh Penguins, starting with the Jason Spezza hire. Rob gives his immediate thoughts on the move and looks at the ways in which he will help the organization. He then looks at how Dubas may structure the front office if he doesn't decide to hire a new general manager in July or August. After that, the two discuss what Kyle Dubas' first move will be (and should be) before they look at how much of a say Mike Sullivan should have in roster decisions. They also look at the latest Jason Zucker contract projection and if Rob would sign him to a long-term deal, plus has Kyle Dubas started contract talks with him and his agent? Also: Do the Penguins need another true "star" to compete? They get into that, along with how Dubas could fill out the bottom six. All of that, plus much more is on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.
