Johnny Gaudreau to the Penguins rumors? In this economy?

Hunter didn't think he'd be starting out the show talking about Johnny Gaudreau, but that's what happens when there is silly szn stuff. Hunter goes into Hailey Salvian's article from The Athletic where she mentions the Pittsburgh Penguins as a potential destination for Gaudreau. Is it realistic for the Penguins? What would a contract for him look like? Hunter discusses those questions, while also touching on if he would make the team better with him and Sid as a dynamic duo, compared to Sid & Geno moving forward. He also gets into who the Penguins would likely have to move out to make that happen, plus how many years the Penguins could get out of both him and Sidney Crosby playing together. After that, Hunter breaks down Jeff Carter's season and what fans should look to expect from him next season. Was it the right call to give him that extension during the season? What else does he provide outside of scoring? Will the scoring start to dry up more next season. Hunter dives into those questions, while also looking at who Carter could play with next season (and no, he CANNOT be the team's second-line center if Malkin walks. Finally, Hunter ends the show by recapping Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final and how the Penguins certainly could've been a team to give the Lightning fits.
