On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey answers reader questions. Among them: Who’s the better fit among potential Penguins trade options for GM Kyle Dubas? The Carolina Hurricanes’ Martin Necas? Or the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Patrik Laine? What does the Alex Nedeljkovic extension mean for Tristan Jarry’s future here? And why are Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang Jason’s favorite Penguins to interview?
He tackles those hockey questions, plus some about the Pirates. Could Vince Velasquez return to bolster the club’s pitching depth, especially as manager Derek Shelton and GM Ben Cherington look to limit innings for Paul Skenes and Jared Jones? Will the team every re-brand to more of a 1970s look? And when will Cherington try to make a move to improve the club between now and the MLB trade deadline?

I'd like to see how Puljujarvi – Crosby – Laine would play together. They would have so much potential. Laine and Puljujarvi were so good together in WJC 2016
Can O’Neil Cruz play center field? Reynolds/Cruz/Joe

Get a better bat at catcher and I feel like we can get some offense going
Releaae Suwinski. That experiment is done. Pedro Alvarez hit for a higher average and they let him go.
