Hunter decided to open up the mailbag for the first time in quite a while on Thursday and some great questions were asked! To start the show, Hunter dives into all of the Erik Karlsson questions, including whether this deal will get done by August 1st and what may have to be included for a deal to work. He also takes a question about what the best food is in PPG Paints Arena before looking at if Mike Sullivan could be on the hot seat if the Penguins stumble out of the gate. He also looks at what an ideal Jake Guentzel contract extension looks like before ending the show with some talk about new front office hires and how he got into hockey at such a young kid.

Could the 3rd team for EK be Chicago? They only have 4dmen on the roster and it's def closer to petrys family.
Did Sullivan negotiate his contract directly with FSG and cut hextall out of the discussions?
If Erik helps bring another cup,contract,doesn’t matter! We will enjoy the rebuild.
So happy you mentioned the hibachi! That’s my favorite and best value of any place in PPG Paints!
If we made the playoffs last year and everything happened like it has I think this karlsson deal would be done by now
🐐
Another great episode! It was cool to hear about how you got into this work. Really appreciate the time and energy you put into this. The passion you have for hockey really shows!
I'd love to see an episode where you and JD Young from Locked on Sharks debate the Karlsson trade and do some mock deals.
Thanks for posting so consistently. You've earned a few missed episodes now and then.🏒
Honestly, I am so sick of this Karlsson banter it is all speculation based on "talks" back on July 1. This hype is generated by a bunch of gamer hockey fans who get glossy eyed over these speculative potentials of a "star" filled dream team. It simply doesn't work in reality but it does work on your NHL 2023 gaming system. Players have egos and they have emotion and that is a genuine factor. I can't see Letang giving up much of anything in terms of minutes, PP time or real estate to another player that is almost identical to him in terms of skill sets and style. Further, what team is successful that fully abandons any form of actual DEFENSE in their line-up? That is what would happen with a Letang & Karlsson duo in the line-up (even if they are on different pairings). Really good teams have strong balance up and down the line-up look at Vegas. No hot-shot starts on D or even O….. but a line-up that is filled with 20 players who are very well rounded. The recent contracts of Letang and Malkin allows them to be stronger in the bottom 6 and D. It would be industrial strength dumb to go out and get more high priced stars that replicated the strengths already have! They would be far better off using the capital (caps space) to get stronger deeper in the lineup. MOVE ON ALREADY.
If you are Kyle dubas do u take a gamble on Patrik Kane if he's asking for 1×2-3? I feel I would if you were able to clear cap
