It's about to be a wild week, my friends. Hunter starts the show with some Penguins front office news as the Penguins have hired Vukie Mpofu to be their Director of Hockey Operations and Legal Affairs. Hunter dives into what he did during his time in Los Angeles and Vegas before detailing what his role will be with the Penguins. He then looks at how Mpofu's fingerprints are all over LA's salary cap situation since they hardly have any actual bad deals. Hunter also stresses that the Penguins have failed to properly replace Jason Botterill since he left, so this could be the hire that finally does that. He then analyzes why Dubas is building a younger front office before wondering what this means for Brandon Pridham since he has similar duties. After that, Hunter gives his picks for the NHL Awards, which will take place on Monday night before ending the show with some trade season talk. He even gives a bold prediction as to what Dubas' first trade will be during that segment and whether it will come this week.
