On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey ponders moves Penguins GM Kyle Dubas should — or should not — consider with NHL free agency approaching on July 1. Should names including Reilly Smith and Rickard Rakell be on the trading block as the team searches for more speed alongside Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? And why do targets including Max Domi, Tyler Bertuzzi and Jake DeBrusk make sense in free agency?
Jason tackles those question. Later, he ponders what it means for Jeff Capel and Pitt basketball that Bub Carrington is set to go to the Washington Wizards with the No. 14 pick in the NBA draft; reacts to the Pirates taking two out of three games from the Cincinnati Reds this week; and offers his thoughts on whether Luis Ortiz has earned a rotation spot.
