Whew, what a day for the Pittsburgh Penguins! Hunter starts today's episode with a full breakdown and analysis of Brayden Yager after he predicted him to be the pick in the Locked On NHL Mock Draft. He got something right! He looks at how he has one of the best shots in the class and why he seems to not be as selfish with it going forward. He also brings up how Yager worked more on his two-way game this past season, which is why some of the numbers fell, but that he still needs a lot of work in the defensive end. When will he be ready for the NHL? Hunter also discusses that before moving on to the Reilly Smith acquisition. He analyzes how great Smith is off the rush and at 5v5 before discussing why he's going to be of tremendous value to the team while killing penalties. He then looks at what Kyle Dubas said about potentially bringing back Jason Zucker and if that even makes sense based on the team's salary cap situation. Finally, he ends the show with why the Penguins could and should open up more space before Saturday since Jeff Petry was in some trade rumors on Wednesday.
