It has been a CRAZY 24 hours around the NHL and that continued on Friday when the Toronto Maple Leafs fired Kyle Dubas. Hunter dives into why that press conference was SO awkward and why it looks like Dubas got shafted by Brendan Shanahan. He then discusses what this means for the Pittsburgh Penguins and if they will at least try to call him for a job (President of Hockey Operations, perhaps?) Hunter then ponders if he will take some time off after what he said on Monday about how he was absolutely

More GM smoke! Hunter continues to be blown away by all of the info that is now coming out about the GM search and that's where he starts today's episode! He discusses a few main points about what Elliotte Friedman talked about in the latest episode of 32 Thoughts, one of which is about John Chayka. Is he the favorite to get at least one of the positions in the front office?

It's a day that ends in "Y" so that means there's more to the GM search! Hunter starts the show by discussing Jason Botterill's candidacy and why he suddenly got a lot of love from two separate media outlets. He looks at the pros and cons of Botterill's case to be the GM and analyzes why he wouldn't be at the top of his list. However, he gives a couple of reasons why it can work since he definitely wouldn't be the worst choice out there. After that, he dives into Pierre Lebrun's latest rumblings and

There's never a dull day when it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins. There are ALWAYS things to discuss and Hunter starts the show by going over Ryan Poehling's season in review. He looks at both eh positives and negatives for this game and why at times, he couldn't put it together since he was a bit banged up. That said, Hunter did like his game when he was in the lineup and brings up the stats to support his evidence as to why he would bring him back on a cheap contract. Hunter also discusses what

The NHL Draft Lottery is over and Hunter has much to say about it. He starts with the not-surprising news that the Pittsburgh Penguins got the No. 14 pick before touching on the team's options.

He then discusses the lottery as a whole and why he feels a bit icky about the Chicago Blackhawks getting the top overall pick. He also feels horrible for the

Happy Draft Lottery Day! Isn't it crazy that the Penguins have a small shot at getting a top 5 pick in this year's draft? Hunter starts the show with that as the Penguins will have a great opportunity to land a franchise-caliber player if the odds somehow go in their favor. He brings up the talent that is likely going to go in the top 5 and why they're arguably better than anyone that went in last year's draft. He gives his scouting reports on a few players, namely Leo Carlsson, Matvei Michkov, and

Huner goes over Carter's season in review as it was an absolute mess. He dives into the numbers and how his counting stats would maybe look OK if he were a fourth-line center for every game but that's not what the Penguins are paying him to be.

The season reviews continue on Tuesday with Jason Zucker. He's the last player in the top six who hasn't gotten one so Hunter had to save the best for last. He looks at how this was his best season in quite some time, especially counting stats-wise. He marvels at how 25 of Zucker's 27 goals came at 5v5, which is no small feat. Only two came on the power play! He discusses how great of a fit he was on Evgeni Malkin's line and why he was always there when the team needed him most. He then looks at
