The Pittsburgh Penguins made it official and signed Jesse Puljujarvi to a two-year contract on Sunday. To start the show, Hunter and Pat discuss the contract and how it was well-deserved after the way he played in Wilkes-Barre. They look at how he fits the team and what they’re looking to see out of him before getting to thoughts on him being on the third line. After that, they discuss Reilly Smith’s impending return and how he needs to really show everyone a lot more since he hasn’t been good for most of this season. They even get into John Ludvig’s impending return and what that could mean for PO Joseph before ending the show with how the push for the playoffs is about to be kicked into overdrive.

Can you guys speak to the rumours that Jake was offered a new contract by PIT that he rejected?
Pat, all credit goes to you. You are the one who brought this up all the way back in August about Jesse Puljujarvi. I don't mind it at all, especially for how low the contract is, very low risk involved.
To have a great season/playoff a team needs an unexpected player to have a career year (or second half) and fingers crossed he can be that guy for the pens.
Like the signing and hope it works out for Jesse but I would also love to see Poulin get a chance as well. He has been amazing since coming back from injury and starting to look like the player we were hoping for when we took him in the first round. Another player that is having a sneaky good season would be Ty Smith! I know it would be tough to bring him up with the log jam of players on the left side but if he is still here after the trade deadline I think he deserves another shot especially over POJ.
For 800k it's an extremely low risk signing, and I definitely think he's an upgrade over Puustinen or Colin White. Either way I'm excited to see some fresh blood in the lineup instead of the same old same old. He's looked really good in Wilkes too recently, hopefully it translates.
Pens need Dumba .
This is such a disappointment of a signing hes dogs*** and you guys just wasted $$$ on him as well as a roster spot
