BONUS: Pittsburgh Penguins fire Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, and Chris Pryor! What’s next?



Hunter has a special treat for Yinz on Friday as the Pittsburgh Penguins cut bait with Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, and Chris Pryor on Friday morning! He looks at how this was a long time coming for the Penguins as they weren’t getting the job done at all. He also discusses why the Fenway Sports Group sounded very confident in getting this right and why to maybe not judge a book based on its cover when it comes to their ownership. He also looks at the type of candidate that FSG said it’s looking for to run the hockey ops department and why it’s likely going to be one that embraces analytics since the team is planning on building an analytics department soon. Finally, Hunter discusses what this means for Mike Sullivan before going over his own shortlist of candidates for the position.

    Hey hunter. Appreciate your channel. Longtime penguins fan here. Watch every game. I personally hope dubas is our guy because I love what he’s done for the leafs. I think he’s a great GM. I’m still heart broken we ended our playoff streak but it might have been the best thing for us. Hard one to swallow. Hopefully they can move granlund, Carter and a couple others.

    I'm fine with Sullivan getting another shot with a competent GM. But assuming the next GM is an analytics person–which seems will be the case–Sullivan can't stubbornly shove his favorites out there, and refuse to try younger players. He has to go with his best lineup, even if that means benching a teacher's pet.

    Obviously, you need cap space to have a Nylander, O'Connor, or Puustinen up here. But this de facto bench O'Connor after he scores a goal crap has to stop.

    The next person who should get canned is Sullivan because despite his success as coach especially leading the team to back to back Cups!! He in my opinion committed a fireable offense by trotting an injured Jarry onto the ice even though he himself admitted that he wasn't at full strength. Sullivan wasn't happy with Jarry putting that out there & admonished him for saying such a thing which only made the problem worse because had he not blew a gasket over Jarry's comments then the front office could've gone through the necessary to trade for a goalie knowing that their #1 wasn't going to play. But Jarry felt the need to go out there even though he wasn't 100% while admirable was a detriment to the team because had the goaltending been stable then they would've been in the playoffs instead of watching it with the rest of us. Just for that alone Sullivan needs to go.
