    Can Penguins’ prospect Owen Pickering FINALLY break through?

    It’s another big year for Penguins’ 2022 first-round pick Owen Pickering, but this time, he actually has an opening. Hunter and Patrick begin the Wednesday edition of Locked On Penguins by discussing 2022 first-round pick defenseman Owen Pickering. (1:15) Following some lofty expectations, he has yet to really make his mark in the organization, but with a strong year last year in WBS and a weakened left side, he has a chance to take the leap in 2026-27. Then, with the roster still in flux, but the forwards at the top mostly set, Hunter and Patrick try to predict what the power play units will look like. (11:15) Finally, Penguins’ goaltending prospect Gabriel D’Aigle will remain in the Penguins organization after he was traded to the Florida Everblades. (20:10) They dive into what this means for him and his development. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Who STEPS UP for the Penguins in 2026-27?

    The Penguins were able to get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs thanks to several depth players stepping up in 2025-26, so who will do that this year? Patrick and Hunter begin the Monday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by looking at some of the Penguins' new additions as well as some players in their second year with the club and how they can step up to help the team return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2027. (0:00) Then, a Penguins' sixth-round pick had a huge weekend for Team USA at the World Junior Summer Showcase, and while Carter Sanderson may not be on your radar as a big-time prospect, he's certainly someone to keep an eye on. (13:46) Finally, the Penguins' affiliation with the Florida Everblades is fully underway, and yet another talented goaltender will enter the team's prospect pipeline.

    How will Ben Kindel play for the Penguins in year 2?

    After a sensational rookie campaign, how will forward Ben Kindel follow it up in his sophomore season? (1:30) Hunter and Patrick begin the show with a question in a full Fan Take Friday episode! A listener asks if they’re worried about regression in year two for forward Ben Kindel, and what the expectations are for him. Then, do the boys think they could rebuild the Vancouver Canucks, lead the Toronto Maple Leafs back to the Stanley Cup, or help build an expansion team in…Hawaii? (11:50) Finally, were the Penguins actually in on Jason Robertson or was this more of a leverage play from his camp?

    Jason Robertson RE-UPS in Dallas, what's next for the Penguins?

    Jason Robertson officially re-signed with the Dallas Stars on a one-year deal, so who will the Penguins' next target be this summer? Patrick and Hunter begin the show discussing the news that Jason Robertson and the Dallas Stars agreed to a one-year deal, meaning the biggest fish is off the market. So, who do the Penguins target next? One potential reclamation project out of Seattle could be on their radar, but will the cost be too high? (0:00) While we still have an entire season and trade deadline to go, Patrick and Hunter take a look at some of the Penguins' pending unrestricted free agents for next summer and talk about who they think might stay, who might be traded, and who they may just let walk in free agency. (13:40) Finally, the Penguins and the Mario Lemieux Foundation may have let it slip that the Penguins are going in a different direction when it comes to alternate jerseys this year, but will they be popular...not to these two co-hosts.

    Breaking down the Penguins TOP 5 prospects!

    The Penguins have several players hoping to make the jump to full-time NHL action this season, but who has the highest ceiling? Hunter and Patrick begin the Monday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by rounding out their top 10 prospect ranking. (1:50) They discuss the likes of Will Horcoff, Bill Zonnon, and Rutger McGroarty. How can they continue to develop and eventually become regular NHL contributors? Then, the top two prospects in the system have a lot of expectations placed upon them. (15:04) One could be a top-pairing defenseman, and the other could be a franchise goaltender, but will they reach that potential? Finally, with Hunter back on the show, he gives some thoughts on the Penguins’ 2026-27 regular-season schedule! (24:05) Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Penguins have a NEW ECHL affiliate, breaking with the Nailers

    The Penguins made it official this week - the Wheeling Nailers are no longer the team's ECHL affiliate, and they now join up with the Florida Everblades. In a solo episode this Friday, Patrick begins the show by addressing and discussing the Penguins and the Hoffmann Family's decision to end their ECHL affiliation with the Wheeling Nailers and begin their relationship with the Florida Everblades.
