Your Pittsburgh Penguins trade deadline primer with a special guest...

It's a special Thursday edition of the Locked On penguins podcast because it's time to talk trades! Hunter is joined by Jeff from Penguins Twitter (@LetangCult) to discuss everything trade-related regarding this team. They get into all of the third-line center targets the team has been connected to, plus others that the team hasn't been yet but could. They also look at the team's biggest need and if Ron Hextall can fix it in the next two weeks. Jeff then brings up an idea he thought about a couple of weeks ago regarding Jacob Chychrun. Do the Penguins have the pieces needed to get a deal done? Can they outbid a team like the Los Angeles Kings or Boston Bruins? Hunter then engages Jeff in a debate about if this team really needs another defenseman before the two move on to goaltenders. Do the Penguins need to do anything about their tandem at the deadline? Should they wait until the summer? The two also discuss Ron Hextall and if he's doing a good job waiting this out before ending the show with a small preview of Friday's game against the New York Islanders. Just how big of a game is it? Can they put the Islanders away for good in this stretch? What are the keys to getting it done? All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
