    PENGUINS SUMMER CATCH-UP! Who is returning to Pittsburgh in 2026-27?

    The Penguins weren't just busy making trades and free agency signings this summer; they also re-signed A LOT of players, too. Patrick Damp and Hunter Hodies continue the Locked On Penguins Summer Catch-Up Series on the Wednesday episode by discussing the re-signings that were made by the Penguins' front office this summer. They begin the episode with an all-second-line discussion, going over the re-signings of Evgeni Malkin, Egor Chinakhov, and Tommy Novak. All three forwards had big years in 2025-26, so are they poised to repeat that success? They talk about how they think they're poised for another big year. (0:00) Then, they talk about the head-scratching re-signing of Ville Koivunen to an 8-year, $4 million per year contract. While it's a calculated risk for the Penguins, it still leaves the Penguins with more questions than answers. They also discuss goaltender Arturs Silovs and forward Connor Dewar. (14:36) Finally, with the big guns returning for another year, what is the expectation for Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Erik Karlsson, and Kris Letang in 2026-27? They talk mostly about how Kris Letang can rebound from a disappointing 2025-26 season. (25:52)  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    What is the ceiling for Penguins' rookie goaltender Sergei Murashov?

    Everyone is excited for Sergei Murashov to become a full-time NHL goaltender, but with expectations high, what is a realistic ceiling? Patrick and Hunter begin the Friday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast with a fun Fan Take Friday suggestion about the NHL's point system. One listener suggested the league pick up the three-point standings system, but Hunter and Patrick have a better idea of how you can make games more meaningful and fix the standings. (0:00) Then, plenty of listeners are excited for Sergei Murashov as well as having high expectations for the rookie goaltender, but what is a realistic first full season in the NHL? (14:12) Finally, the excitement for year two Ben Kindel is through the roof, but like Murashov, what is a realistic expectation rather than a pie-in-the-sky ideal situation?

    Why is everyone UNDERRATING Penguins forward Ben Kindel?

    As the season draws closer, it appears many are not buying into the Ben Kindel hype, but is it fair? Patrick and Hunter begin the Tuesday edition of the Locked On Penguins Podcast by once again scratching their heads over a Corey Pronman article where he ranked Ben Kindel 19th in a 2025 NHL Entry Draft redraft. (2:25) Despite being the second-most productive player in the 2025 NHL Draft, it appears that’s not enough to even break into the top 15. Then they give their breakout candidates for the 2026-27 season, including Nick Robertson, Declan Carlie, and others. (13:15) Finally, the Penguins released their 2026-27 fan giveaway schedule, highlighting some of the best promotions they’re offering this season! (23:00) Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

    Will Filip Hallander be ready for Penguins training camp?

    The Penguins might be getting yet another forward in their already overloaded group, as Filip Hallander appears to be all systems go after his injury last year. Hunter and Patrick begin the Friday edition of Locked On Penguins by discussing the news that Filip Hallander told a Swedish outlet he is healthy and has been working toward a return with the Penguins. But, with so many forwards already in the mix, where does he fit? (0:00) Then, today’s Fan Take Friday poll was all about when the Penguins could return to contention. For many fans, they believe it will be in the 3-5 year range, and that appears to be the plan for the organization.

    Marc-Andre Fleury and the Penguins 2026 HALL OF FAME class!

    The Penguins announced their 2026 Hall of Fame class, and the legendary goaltender is going in! Hunter and Patrick begin the Thursday edition of Locked On Penguins discussing the four new inductees to the Penguins Hall of Fame, which include Marc-Andre Fleury, Larry Murphy, Jim Rutherford, and Jack McGregor. (1:25) They talk about the impact the four had on the franchise's history and success, and what they mean in the history books. Then, they react to The Athletic’s prospect rankings, and while the Penguins find themselves right in the middle of the pack, the actual ranking of the team’s prospects was…puzzling, to say the least. (13:30) Finally, the NHL made it official that all 32 teams will receive “Hometown Remix” jerseys this season, prompting speculation about what the Penguins' new alternates might look like.
