Is there a chance that the Pittsburgh Penguins find a trade partner for Tristan Jarry out west? After seeing the Los Angeles Kings lose to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night, Hunter and Patrick believe that the Kings could be a destination to send Jarry this offseason. They look at how it makes sense for the Kings because of their goaltending situation and how Rob Blake hasn’t shied away from making big moves to help the team. They also look at how that move would help the Penguins moving forward before looking back on a polarizing season for the team’s big offseason acquisition, Erik Karlsson. They discuss how he had a season of highs and lows and give their take on whether he’ll be better next year. finally, they tackle the biggest question surrounding the organization…is it time for a rebuild?

Apologies for the delay again, everyone. Youtube decided to go down starting around 3:30-4 p.m. ET and we couldn't post until now.
I’d like to get heavier and find players that can finish their checks.
Also agree in moving Jarry.
I wish Dubas could find a way to swap Jarry for Markstrom. Even if we had to eat some salary on it. I think both goalies could use a fresh start.
If there’s a deal to be made, I’m good with trading Jarry. Karlsson could’ve been better, but also wasn’t nearly as bad as people made him out to be. I keep reminding about the trade to get him. Imagine how much worse this season would’ve gone if Petry, Rutta and Granlund were still on this team lol what you said Patrick about letting Karlsson run the power play is exactly what needs to happen next year!
We could see Vegas in that same situation, again, with the huge contract given to Hanifin, and the large, long-term deal that Hertl has.
I liked the trade that brought Karlsson to the 'burgh. I think that the biggest issue that the defensemen faced were, first, that the Pens had very little net front presence, until the trade for Bunting, and secondly, that the F3 wasn't covering the point when Karlsson, or Letang, pinched or "activated".
It doesn't matter if you have a wonderful shot, from the point, if the goaltender is easily able to see it, the whole way in.
Agree with you guys. And everyone forgets what Dubas dumped in this last off-season as far as players and contracts. Unfortunately he took on a couple more (Jarry and Graves). Penguins and Steelers fans are spoiled, especially the younger ones who only know winning seasons; we have been blessed for a better part of TWO DECADES (unreal) and just enjoy the last bit because the other side of the coin can be BRUTAL (talk to a Pirates fan). They act like these older players suck when it's the supporting players that are lacking. Wait until they get their wish and everyone is finally gone.
The Pens are in a unique situation where they can do both "win now" and "rebuild", by bringing in young talent. It could be like the late 80s, early 90s, Pens, where you had Lemieux, Stevens, and Recchi, trade for Francis and Samuelsson. Then you draft Jagr.
Dubas has a history of finding NHL level players outside of the first round…Knies, Holmberg, and Robertson are just a few.
The fact that Hunter Hodies used Granlund and Petry in the same sentence as the word “asset” is all you need to know about this episode 😂😂
Jarry straight up for Philip Danault. Pittsburgh needs a solid 2 way Centre to play behind Sid. Then make Geno 3C and Eller 4C
I tell you this … yes the top 4 players are the guys you need & Dubez needs to surround them with better talent – but they NEEEED guys like RUSTY & PETEY . straight up 110% blue collar players every single game . I’m even gonna throw DOC in that mix – not sure if Pat has said it but someone did – he’s a Rusty Light (I sell beer for a living so I love the beer comparison)
I’m even gonna throw BUNTING in there – he’s not gonna score 40 goals a season – but he has an underdog mentality that was sorely lacking on this team . even as is (minus Graves) before July 1st of course – I’m excited for this team next season … all season long they showed spurts of being one of the best teams – towards the end they proveddd they were one of the best teams – & circumstances landed WSH(so bad) a playoff spot … the whole time I watched that series of them against NYR – I thought – wow SID would have atleast 2-3 points in each game … OVI … 2 shots – 0 pts in 4 games … almost said 5 games 😬 wouldn’t wanna give em too much credit 🤣
GO PENS !
& if the PP was average SID woulda been over 100 pts …
Jarry needs a 1b goaltender to split the 82 game season with. It's almost like his conditioning is the best. 1st half of season he plays well, 2nd half he doesn't almost like he runs out of gas. If pens could get a great package deal for him, I would trade him. If not, give him another year but get a backup who could start 41 games.
If Jarry does go to the kings, what do you guys think about Kaliyev being involved in the trade? Younger player with some upside, had a little bit of a down year this season and has been getting bottom 6 minutes his whole career. There’s probably more opportunity here and he still is young.
How do you figure a “Norris trophy” winning, highly offensive defenseman ends up being a good acquisition, when after 82 games he’s only a +4?
You can fool yourself into thinking it was a good deal but unless he was going to repeat with 100+ points and be at least 50% better defensively than he was, there’s no way he was worth it. I know they got rid of contracts of unwanted players, but the cap hit and salary they’re left with is horrible! I highly doubt he’s going to be like Sid and continue to be a high-level player.
