Will the Penguins be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Plus, thoughts on Kapanen!

It's never dull for the Pittsburgh Penguins and that was again on display on Friday. Hunter starts the show with the big news of the day as Kasperi Kapanen was placed on waivers. He looks into why this was always a formality from the very beginning and how it made no sense to give him that kind of contract after he had a down year last season. He then looks at a few teams who could maybe do the Penguins a solid and claim him before predicting what will ultimately happen. After that, Hunter gives his thoughts on the Ron Hextall surprise press conference and informs the audience whether the team will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. Is his stance the right one? Is it also right to remove yourself from the rental game? He then gives his thoughts on a few of his other comments, including the salary cap, Jeff Carter, and so much more. Finally, Hunter analyzes Rob Rossi's story from this morning and whether the Penguins should really trade for Jacob Chychrun. Is he worth the price that the Coyotes are asking? Would this mean they're not going after a forward? All that, plus a small preview for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
