Happy Monday, and the final day of July! Hunter and Pat are back for another fresh episode of the podcast and they start the show with some front-office news from over the weekend as Amanda Kessel was hired to the Penguins front office full-time. The two dive into what that means for the front office and what her expertise is likely going to be before looking at how this is the same role that Jason Spezza had under Dubas in Toronto. They also dive into what their future could look like as a hockey executive in the NHL. Is she going to be a full-time GM one day? Could that be with the Penguins? After that, they analyze why this is a big week for Drew O’Connor and the Penguins since his arbitration hearing is on Friday. They look at what he could sign for after doing some digging on other players who are close in terms of production while also thinking about what his full role will be on the team for this season. Finally, they end the show by celebrating Evgeni Malkin’s birthday and looking back at some of his best moments as a Pittsburgh Penguin.

DOC requesting arbitration might be one of the best things to happen in Pittsburgh (depending on what transpires afterwards) in the past several years. Could lead to a knock-on effect of getting rid of a bad contract and bringing in a generational talent defenseman!
Lol doc is definitely not worth anything north of 1 Mill
I thought Jeff Carter was 3c? If Lars is 3c, then is Carter 4c?
Absolutely loved this one with geno’s birthday and getting in detail with DOC and his contract situation
My favorite Malkin moment was in the early days of video review, when it would drag on for an eternity. The refs could not figure out how the puck got into the net. Until the final camera angle showed Geno get pancaked, sit-up on his rear only to find the puck by his side, so he picks it up with his hand and throws it into the back of the net😂
Does Nick Pryor retain his position? does Dubas end up hiring associate and assistant GMs? at one point, Rutherford had Guerin, fitzgerald and boterill (but didnt backfill as they left). will a structure like that exist again?
could the pens buy our granlund and sign tatar? should be similar $$, right?
