After a monster trade that brought Erik Karlsson to the Pittsburgh Penguins, we have a jam-packed mailbag edition of the Penscast. This week, Robbie, Snail, and Garrett take questions on several different topics, including: What the team might do personnel-wise now that Jake Guentzel will be out until at least the end of October Crazy hockey player superstitions Whether or not it's the right move for Kyle Dubas to handle GM duties What player would you rather have between Karlsson or Jakob Chychrun How this Karlsson trade may directly impact the performance of Evgeni Malkin All these topics and more are discussed on this week's show! *** Follow the Skating Penguin Network on Twitter, @PenguinsFFSN, to stay up-to-date with our latest podcast episodes, new content, and more.

It's been 24 hours (at the time of writing this), and ERIK KARLSSON IS A PITTSBURGH PENGUIN. The player Kyle Dubas sought since departing Toronto and arriving in Pittsburgh is finally on his roster, and in one fell swoop, Dubas acquired the reigning Norris Trophy winner while simultaneously doing away with just about every Ron Hextall-era mistake. Garrett and Snail turn on the microphones and provide their reaction to this blockbuster deal. Where will Karlsson be slotted? Will he quarterback the power play? Can Karlsson improve the Pittsburgh Penguins in Jake Guentzel's absence? How does the trade affect Kris Letang and his ice time?

We are into August now, and all seems quiet on the western (Pennsylvania) front. While we patiently wait to see what, if anything, Kyle Dubas and co. have up their sleeves, the Penscast Mailbag is back this week to beat the heat and the dog days of the off-season. This week, the three hosts take 11 questions.  What trade do you believe was the best in Pittsburgh Penguins' history? Which player has more upside: P.O Joseph or Ty Smith?  Would you like to see the Penguins go back to their original blue sweaters? Is Drew O'Connor the hero the team needs, giving the team a second chance to buy out Mikael Granlund? Our zany food discussions continue this week. What's on your Mount Rushmore of ice cream flavors?

After a week off last week, Garrett, Robbie, and Snail return to your podcasting platforms with another mailbag edition of the Penscast. This week, the three hosts take 11 questions. What are some of the top reasons to visit Pittsburgh outside of the Pittsburgh Penguins? Which five teams across the NHL would be on your no-trade list? How would you spend your day with the Stanley Cup? We delve into some baseball and talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates drafting pitcher Paul Skenes as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.

A few weeks ago, I typed on this website that we had broken a mailbag record with the number of questions we had, with 28 queries. Fast forward to now, and that record has been eclipsed yet again with 31 tweets sent to the Skating Penguin Network Twitter account. Clocking in at just under 90 minutes, it's one of the longest recordings we have ever done. But that's not all the history we're making. For the first time, we have recruited a new voice to the Skating Penguin Network. Frequent mailbag contributor, Snail, has come aboard the crew and will be providing his voice and opinions to all sorts of future content alongside Robbie and Garrett. This week, the hosts are asked about: Our thoughts on the Pittsburgh Penguins' 2023 draft class The early days of free agency and how effective Kyle Dubas' first moves may be The likelihood of an Erik Karlsson trade to Pittsburgh Whether or not it was the right decision to re-sign Tristan Jarry to a long-term contract The massive menu at the Cheesecake Factory All these topics and more are discussed on this week's show! *** Follow the Skating Penguin Network on Twitter, @PenguinsFFSN, to stay up-to-date with our latest podcast episodes, new content, and more.

Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins made their presence known Wednesday night in Nashville. Earlier in the day, Dubas orchestrated his first trade as President of Hockey Operations by acquiring Vegas Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith for a 2024 third-round pick, an opening salvo to what is likely going to be a busy summer for the Dubas administration. Reports indicate that the team is looking to shed the salary of veteran defenseman Jeff Petry, who was only acquired last off-season. And all this was before Connor Bedard even donned his Chicago Blackhawks sweater as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 Draft. With the 14th pick in the draft, Dubas and the Penguins selected Brayden Yager, a forward who already vastly improves a shallow prospect pool. Robbie and Garrett are here with an instant analysis of the Smith trade, the team's newest prospect, and a few mailbag questions. *** Follow the Skating Penguin Network on Twitter, @PenguinsFFSN, to stay up-to-date with our latest podcast episodes, new content, and more.

Another extra large Penscast Mailbag is on tap this week, ladies and gents. Twenty-one questions round out the mailbag, and we have a variety of questions and question-askers, with longtime staples such as Brian and a few new faces thrown in. This week, Robbie and Garrett are asked about: The possibility of other teams trying to shed players' contracts that Kyle may want to inherit With the NHL Draft this week, we take one last look at who the Pittsburgh Penguins could take at pick No. 14 Could Philadelphia's Carter Hart become a Pittsburgh Penguin? The 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame class, including the likes of Henrik Lundqvist and Tom Barrasso Which player has more trade value: P.O Joseph or Ty Smith?

Folks, this is the most significant mailbag episode Robbie and Garrett have ever hosted. Every few months, one utters on the podcast, ‘This has to be a new record for questions!'

Should Phil Kessel have won the award for playoff MVP? Was rookie Matt Murray deserving of the award? And finally, Brian has taken us up on being the podcast's resident food question-asker.

The wait is over for the Pittsburgh Penguins. After a weeks-long search for new hockey leadership, Fenway Sports Group announced the hiring of former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas as Pittsburgh's President of Hockey Operations on Thursday. In this role, Dubas will “oversee all aspects of the Penguins hockey operations department, including establishing the strategic vision and philosophy for the franchise,” according to Michelle Crechiolo of Pens Inside Scoop. Ever since Dubas' out-of-the-blue termination in Toronto, he has been on the top of the list of candidates FSG was interested in bringing to Pittsburgh following the dismissals of Ron Hextall and Brian Burke. For more written information on Dubas' introduction, our overlord Hook Orpik published two pieces detailing Dubas' arrival. Related: Penguins hire Kyle Dubas as President of Hockey Operations Related: Kyle Dubas Introduction to Pittsburgh: First impressions on the new boss Garrett and Robbie turn on the microphone to break down this new hire and hypothesize about this exciting new era of Penguins hockey. *** Follow the Skating Penguin Network on Twitter, @PenguinsFFSN, to stay up-to-date with our latest podcast episodes, new content, and more.

We continue to wait for an announcement to see who will be selected as the next general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins. As we wait, the Penscast Mailbag returns with more listener questions. This week in the mailbag, we have a varied, 12-question mailbag from regulars like Brian and Snail, as well as Greg A. If you were selected as the GM, what would you do during this off-season? We take a look back at the Jarome Iginla trade and wonder about the what-if scenario had Iginla remained a Penguin following the 2013 Eastern Conference Final loss to the Boston Bruins. Could Drew O'Connor see an increased role heading into 2023-24, especially if Jason Zucker departs via free agency? And finally, we are discussing all sorts of POTATOES as the food questions continue to roll in! *** All of these topics and more are discussed on this week's show!

Sixteen questions create this week's edition of the Penscast Mailbag. Frequent contributors, Brenden and Brian, return this week to ask a wide array of hockey and non-hockey-related questions. How does the dysfunction in Toronto affect Fenway Sports Group's decision-making for a new general manager now with Kyle Dubas relieved of his duties? Would you entertain a specific Connor Hellebuyck trade? Which Canadian team will break the 30-year curse of a Canadian market hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup? And finally, perhaps most importantly, which way do you eat corn on the cob? Horizontally, almost like a typewriter action, or do you somehow defy physics and human nature to eat it vertically?

Sixteen questions from one of our faithful listeners, Brian, comprise this edition of the Penscast Mailbag. Brian asked a wide array of differing questions for both Garrett and Robbie to answer. Is the Seattle Kraken the de facto playoff team for Pittsburghers since a portion of the roster is comprised of former Penguins?
