Are we underrating the Penguins offseason so far, with Jesse Marshall!



Hunter is back with another guest for this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast as Jesse Marshall from The Athletic and McKeens Hockey joins to discuss the Penguins’ offseason to date, specifically for how much they have improved so far this offseason. The two look at Dom’s article from The Athletic and how his model is super optimistic regarding the Penguins’ offseason. Do Hunter and Jesse feel the same way? They look at the moves that Dubas made and while they have improved, it still may not be as much as Dom would think. They also dive into Dom’s model versus what JFresh’s model is saying and how the analytics can be a bit different before they look at some more milestones for both Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang heading into next season. Finally, they end the show with some breakout player candidates for the Penguins, even though they don’t have too many for this season.

    I saw your tweet about this episode yesterday and I tried to make a short on this same idea, but after listening to the episode I know I didn’t quite do it justice like you!

    Great discussion, i enjoy when you have guests on the show to add their opinions as well. I think the penguins are in good shape to make the playoffs. I know he isn't yound anymore but really like what ellers can bring to this team as well as accari. I think the bottom six will help the defense and goaltending. I also think r.smith and graves will also help the penalty kill. Together, this should give jarry the support he needs to flurish. I dont care for karlsson and think mp-petry should be a great pair (with some evidence from last season). Allowing graves-letang and smith/poj -rutta. I would waive chad just because he will probably make it through and its time to let the youngsters add speed and offense to the d.
    If the karlson trade does not happen, how do you see the defensive lines shaking out?

    Just would like to take a moment to remind you that Vegas who prioritized def forwards just won the cup lol

    Kyle Dubas is the second straight Penguins GM that desperately wants a Complete Overhaul and Rebuild of the Penguins and isn't able to perform it, because of Ownership. So here they go again.

    I like the improvements to the bottom 6 and help with the PK. But hoping that 87&71 play 82 games is a bit much. Could there be a scenario where someone else plays top 6 so rust can drop down to the 3rd line? Any chance Carter is the 13th forward?
