Podcasts about Evgeni Malkin

Dan and Shawn are joined by Mike Morreale, a staff writer for NHL.com and co-host off the "NHL Draft Class" podcast, to breakdown the top of the draft, reasons why forward Shane Wright, a center with Kingston of the Ontario Hockey League, is projected to go No. 1 to the host Montreal Canadiens and why Slovakian left wing Juraj Slafkovsky of TPS in Liiga, the top professional league in Finland, could be a perfect fit for the New Jersey Devils at No. 2.  Morreale explains why he thinks forward Cutter Gauthier of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program could be a darkhorse to make it to the NHL quickly, perhaps even faster than forward Logan Cooley. The guys talked about several players who can become unrestricted free agents on July 13, including Filip Forsberg, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin and discussed the San Jose Sharks making history by hiring Mike Grier to be the first Black general manager in the NHL on Tuesday and the whirlwind that the 47-year-old must be in right now being at the draft one day after he was introduced by the team.

TSN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joins OverDrive to discuss the contract buzz of Maple Leafs' Petr Mrazek, Ilya Mikheyev and Pierre Engvall and the continuous goaltending discussion in Toronto. Johnson, Hayes and Gord Miller comprehensively explore the major storylines going into the NHL's Free Agency, what's next for Johnny Gaudreau, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and more.

BREAKING NEWS: Casey DeSmith has re-signed with the Penguins. Does this end the dream reunion of the Pens and Marc-Andre Fleury? And what about Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Penguins insider Matt Vensel joined the show. Even after the Casey DeSmith news that broke as today's show started, Matt did not completely rule out the return of Marc-Andre Fleury. He said only if the team felt comfortable moving on from Tristan Jarry and discussed a few avenues down that route. Matt believes Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang will be back with the team because the front office really wants to keep the band together. Matt got into some of the other options if Malkin does move on himself or the team decides they want to end things. Matt said if the whole crew comes back, they have to be all in on what they try to accomplish.

Happy 4th of July! Hunter always has Penguins content for this show and starts it off by touching on the latest update regarding Evgeni Malkin & Kris Letang from Pierre Lebrun. Is there anything new? Why would Ron Hextall only start out with two-year deals for both? Has there been movement, especially on the Malkin ones? Hunter gets into all of that, plus spends the last couple of minutes saying why it may not be a good idea to pay Nazem Kadri if Malkin does decide to walk. After that, Hunter does some NHL Draft Talk and goes into the "Lottery Guys" section that he and Jason have on their board. Which of these players has the best chance of panning out? Which players have more bust potential? Hunter gives his scouting report on them and who some of their NHL player comps are before closing the show with a silly season free-agent target: Claude Giroux. How would it make sense? Can he play Center again? What would the money look like? Would he want to be a Penguin? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Hunter and Dan start the show by discussing the Evgeni Malkin rumors and if he could potentially be a good fit for the Capitals. What would both fanbases think of it?

Pittsburgh Penguins President of Hockey Ops Brian Burke spoke to some of the Pittsburgh media on Wednesday and yes, most of it centered around Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin., Hunter looks at Burke said and gives his thoughts on what the "deadline" part means, and why Burke basically confirmed that Letang is currently the higher priority over Malkin. He also looks at when that final "take it or leave it" offer will be in and whether it's likely that either player circles back to the team when free agency opens. After that, Hunter reviews Radim Zohorna's season and looks at how he put up some of the best underlying numbers that he's ever seen in such a short sample size. Is there a chance he keeps that up for a full season? Hunter looks at that, plus touches on how he's on a one-way deal this season. Is the team expecting him to make the jump for the entire season? What attributes would he bring to the bottom six? Finally, he ends the show with some long-awaited draft talk and gives the top two players on his board that could be available for the Penguins to take. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Another comparison has been made between Kenny Pickett and Joe Burrow. Does it have people believing Pickett can be the same type of player? The guys discussed if it's outlandish to compare the two QBs. The discussion jumped to hockey and what the Pens will do in free agency.  Penguins insider Bob Grove joined the show. The guys asked Bob if Bryan Rust would be his top priority over Kris Letang, like the Penguins have made public. Bob gave his thoughts on what they can do with Rust locked up for the future. Bob said where the Pens front office stands with Letang and Evgeni Malkin, and added he'd be more comfortable giving good money to Letang because of how well he's performing at his age. Bob gave his plan if the Pens decide to let Malkin walk. Bob talked about some of the young prospects coming up the pipeline.

Tuesday is an action-packed episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter goes all into Josh Yohe's story on what he's hearing about the Penguins heading into free agency and the draft and it's safe to say a lot of it is bad. He starts with the Evgeni Malkin rumors as more smoke is growing about how he won't be back with the team. Are Malkin's contract demands too high? Why is Hextall being stingy with him? That discussion then goes into another one about how Hextall may not be cut out for this job, considering how passive he was in Philadelphia. That won't fly here, especially if one or both of the core members of the team walk. He looks at how Hextall isn't too keen on spending money to replace either Malkin or Letang and why that would quickly backfire on him. Hunter also discusses the latest on Kris Letang and while it's more of a positive update, it's still not where it needs to be yet. Hunter also gets into the Pettersson vs Dumoulin debate and why the Penguins look to be taking the wrong side of it, plus gets to the latest on JT Miller and Vincent Trocheck.

Another team won a championship last night as the Colorado Avalanche became the kings of the NHL. Poni gave a layout of how and when the Pittsburgh teams will win their next title. An update on Donny's dating life.  Penguins insider Mike DeFabo joined the show. Mike said it wouldn't be a shocker if Marc-Andre Fleury ended his career in Pittsburgh, but isn't sure how many years he has left. Mike thinks the Penguins will get deals done with Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, and will probably give them more than expected. The guys asked Mike if the Pens will buyout another player and how long it could last and he said Jason Zucker is a candidate.

After a small vacation, Hunter is back with a fresh episode on the Pittsburgh Penguins and as always, there's something to talk about. He starts the show with the latest Penguins rumors after Elliotte Friedman went on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and touched on the latest with Letang, Malkin, and even Fleury. Is there a chance that Fleury makes a return? Hunter looks at that and brings up the only way in which that would work. He then gets to the latest with Malkin, which doesn't sound good. If a deal can't be reached, who will replace him? How much money will the team have? Is it worth it to do 3 X $7.5-$8M per for? Is it looking more likely for Letang? After that, Hunter gives his NHL Awards Ballot and how more writers need to watch the league as a whole and then evaluates Chad Ruhwedel's special season.

There are a plethora of big name free agents in the offensive pool of free agents. Nazem Kadri is coming off his best season and looking for a pay day, and could fix a big issue with the Red Wings center depth. But can he maintain that level of production? Or Detroit could try and fill their holes short term with veteran depth centers like Mattias Janmark and Calle Jarnkrok. #lgrw Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Penguins insider Paul Steigerwald talks about the liklihood of getting both Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang in free agency.

A source has said Mitch Trubisky is being groomed to be the Steelers starting QB by the way things were handled in minicamp. It appears that the real competition is at guard. Poni doesn't like it and doesn't like the Steelers apparently wasting their first round rookie's season. Hockey insider Sean Gentille joined the show. Sean said the Penguins likely won't buyout Jason Zucker even though he has a tough contract to carry right now. He expects Evgeni Malkin to return to the team next year. Sean said he would take Malkin for 3 more years over Vincent Trocheck because it's all about keeping Sidney Crosby happy.   US Open update.

Steve and Graham update the latest on Rick Westhead's Hockey Canada story, and talk about another potential injury for Jays reliever Julian Merryweather. Then they announce the latest inductees to the Hockey Hall of Fame, including Bill Clement. They also discuss whether the Pens can bring back both Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin

We finally have some traction on the Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin contracts! Hunter starts the show by getting into the update on Letang and why it's GREAT to see that the organization sees him as their top priority right now. He goes into why the very loud but vocal minority of fans who dislike him are wrong and vows for those people to reach out about an actual plan of action if Letang isn't brought back. Before getting to the latest on Evgeni Malkin, he dives into the numbers again and why there's basically nobody on the market that can do what he does. What is that one looking like? Is he the second-biggest priority for the team? Is it right of the team to see him as the 2nd priority behind Letang? He then gets into the rest of the updates in Rob Rossi's story, including one on a potential assistant general manager joining the front office. He looks at why the team needs to go outside the organization for this one to bring in some potential fresh ideas, especially as a new ownership group took over. Hunter also shares an update on Andy Saucier (a positive one) going into next season before ending the show previewing the Stanley Cup Final. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

JuJu Smith-Schuster made his final farewell to Pittsburgh. The guys discussed his lasting legacy in Pittsburgh and if he's remembered for hard-nosed play or being goofy off-the-field, or both. Penguins insider Mike DeFabo joined the show. Mike said the Penguins were upset about the plays made by the Rangers in the series against the Rangers that left multiple players injured, including the one that kept Sidney Crosby out of key time in Game 5 and all of Game 6. Mike talked about what has happened with the team since the playoff departure, including Brian Burke, who is still the current President of Hockey Operations. Poni asked Mike why Burke hasn't talked since season's end. Mike discussed the status of Kris Letang and if he or Evgeni Malkin return to the team next season. An interesting name Mike threw out was Vincent Trocheck to possibly replace Malkin if he departs.

Happy Tuesday! Hunter is joined by a special guest for this show as he welcomes back Doug Glattke of Forechecking TV to get his thoughts on everything Penguins related so far in the offseason. The two first start out with some brief updates on Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang as Pierre Lebrun published his "rumblings" blog in The Athletic this morning. Are things getting closer on the Malkin front? What seems to be the big holdup as free agency is about a month away? Does LeBrun see a deal happening? The two get into all of that, plus again argue that there's no one really out there in free agency that can really do what Malkin does. After that, they get to the Letang update & how that one seems to be closer than the Malkin one. Are both sides going to have to bend a little to make it work? Does he look to be the top priority for the Penguins? What chances does Lebrun give of a deal happening? After that, they get into a fun debate in the second segment about what the dream Penguyins broadcast could look like using only announcers that are still announcing. This is brought up due to the Penguins finishing in the bottom third of the league in a fan poll of broadcasting duos with Mears and Errey. Finally, Doug gives a couple of free agents that he'd like to see the team go after, even if they bring back Malkin, Letang, Rodrigues, and Heinen, plus goes into who he would put on the trade block.

It's the final day of May and yep, Penguins' content NEVER sleeps. He starts the show out by reviewing the final member of the top 6's season: Danton Heinen. He came over on a one-year prove-it deal, and boy did he ever prove it to the Penguins. He lit it up for 18 goals and set a new career-high in the process. Hunter dives into the numbers to look at what he excelled at this season, plus looked at the big underrated part of his game: His defense impact. He goes over the metrics on HockeyViz with the heat maps which show that related to league average, he's well-above in terms of preventing scoring chances in the defensive zone. Hunter also gets into the topic of what his next contract should look like. Should it come from the Penguins? If so, what should the term and AAV be? Should he get most of his minutes with Evgeni Malkin (if he returns) next season? After that, Hunter brings up an old friend that will be a UFA this summer: Phil Kessel. Does it make sense for the team to take a flier on him? How bad has his offense gone down since he was traded? Can he still contribute at 5v5? Finally, Hunter previews the conference finals and even offers some praise to the Rangers since they remind him of a certain Penguins team from a few years back...
