Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Penguins have promoted a few young players, including Rutger McGroarty.

Jay wants the Penguins to ride it out right now with Tristan Jarry, who has played well the last two games. Joe doesn't trust Kyle Dubas to turn the Penguins around to win with Sidney Crosby. Jay thinks the decisions Dubas makes with draft picks, or trading picks to receive good players, will define this era.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jay makes the case why the Penguins wouldn't trade Rickard Rakell because he has three years remaining at $5 million per season.

Goaltending has been a significant concern for the Penguins, but defensive breakdowns have not helped them whatsoever. Other teams are taking advantage against the Pens and the Penguins do not punch back. Trading Erik Karlsson will be very difficult with a no-trade and $10 million contract.
