    How Penguins Head Coach Dan Muse can build off a GREAT first year

    Fresh off a Jack Adams Award nomination, Penguins’ head coach Dan Muse will look to follow up a great rookie season in 2026-27. What will he need to do? Hunter and Patrick discuss that on the Monday edition after he exceeded all expectations in his debut season. He’ll have to focus a lot on development and getting the most out of some veterans while making his presence more known around the league. (2:20) Then, the Penguins still have a massive logjam at forward as camp inches closer, so how will they make sure they have enough players to stay competitive without losing some veterans for nothing? (14:00) Finally, over the weekend, the Penguins finalized their minor league coaching staffs; they take a look at some of the names who will hopefully be guiding the next generation of Penguins.

    Making sense of Ville Koivunen's EIGHT YEAR contract with the Penguins

    The Penguins signed forward Ville Koivunen to an 8-year, $4 million per season contract on Thursday, and the only question is...why? Patrick and Hunter begin the show trying to make sense of the eight-year contract the Penguins signed Koivunen to this week. They discuss why they think the Penguins have such a belief in the young forward, what it means for other younger players who will be due contracts in the next few years, and what, exactly, Koivunen's ceiling is as a potential full-time NHL player. (0:00) Then, the Penguins returning to the playoffs in 2026 was a magical ride, but is it something they can replicate in 2027? They look at how the Penguins can do more of the same this upcoming year. (14:25) Finally, it was announced on Thursday that the Wheeling Nailers will have an NHL affiliate this upcoming season, and they're staying in the Metropolitan Division.

    Tommy Novak EXTENDED for three years! Is it a worthwhile deal?

    The Penguins signed center Tommy Novak to a three-year extension this past weekend, but is the deal worth it? Hunter and Patrick begin the show discussing the three-year, $4.65 million/year extension for Tommy Novak. (1:25) They break down the deal, why he signed for that much, and what it means for him and the organization moving forward. Then, they talk about Novak’s fit with the forward group, and how signing a deal like this could net the Penguins a solid trade return in the future, should they choose to move him. (13:00) Finally, with just about a month to go until training camp begins, they take a look at the Metropolitan Division and where the Penguins find themselves in what should be another competitive year in the Eastern Conference.

    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.

    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?
