    [FULL EPISODE] The Big Hockey Buffet + Trade Deadline Paths for Penguins

    Dan Kingerski delivers a candid, no-fluff breakdown of the surging Pittsburgh Penguins, who sit solidly in second place in the Metropolitan Division thanks to unexpected chemistry from offseason additions like Anthony Mantha, Justin Brazeau, and more. He outlines Kyle Dubas's four potential trade deadline paths—hold steady and "rent" key UFAs to themselves, sell veterans like the Flyers/Capitals did in prior years, take a hybrid approach with surgical additions (especially right-handed defense depth), or (unlikely) become aggressive buyers. Dan dives into hot topics, including Jason Robertson trade rumors (and why a blockbuster might cost too much long-term), Brian Rust's Player Safety hearing for a high hit, Evgeni Malkin's elite resurgence at 39, goaltending turnaround with Stuart Skinner and Arturs Silovs, the coaching lift under Dan Muse, and why this team feels different from recent collapses. Recorded live amid travel chaos, with listener questions from X.
