The Pittsburgh Penguins have made their first trade in the Kyle Dubas era and it’s a fairly good one! Hunter does a special 10-15 minute segment with Nick Brlansky breaking down the trade and how it’s a good fit for the Penguins while also realizing that this means Jason Zucker is gone. The two discuss how the Penguins got him for virtually Teddy Blueger and how there seems to be a plan in place from the front office, which is something we haven’t said that much as of late. They also analyze why Smith’s age isn’t really a concern, especially since his term is just two seasons. Zucker wanted more, which is why this move was made. They also look at what Dubas could be cooking up next before wrapping up. Hunter will have more on this deal in a full episode of Locked On Penguins later tonight!

Please take care of Reilly in Pittsburgh! We adore him here in Vegas
Can’t wait to see what else Dubas has up his sleeve tonight and over the next couple of days. Great work guys!
Whose older, Smith or Zucker
Plus smith kills penalties
Looking forward to what Dubas is going to do between now and October. New GM will be named after July 1. Will Nick Pryor (Chris Pryor's son) still be the director of scouting after the draft since they terminated his father already? Love zucker but glad they didnt sign zucker to a 4-5 yr deal. he plays a hard style that will result in more injuries. not saying anything bad about zuck but health for a long term contract will be an issue.
Nice pick up KD. It looks like Smitty will be taking Zs spot. He’s going to want too much $ to stay.
