What does the future hold for Penguins defenseman Ty Smith?
The Pittsburgh Penguins will have some interesting decisions to make on defense this offseason and that includes Ty Smith. Hunter looks at what Ty Smith did down in Wilkes Barre this past season and how he seemed to be too good for the AHL. He also discusses what stood out about him in the nine games that he played with the team this past season and how he can make the team out of camp and in the preseason. He also looks at how the Penguins can get him to improve defensively, even though he's more known for his offense. Also: Could the Penguins have a competition coming between Smith and PO Joseph if Dubas acquires a top 4 left-shot defenseman? He dives into that before analyzing Joonas Korpisalo and why he could be a strong free-agent fit for the Penguins. He discusses howKorpisalo really saved his career this season with how good his numbers were before looking at how this would be a classic Kyle Dubas move for an undervalued goaltender. He looks at what he is projected to get on the free agent market (and it's not that much) and how he could work in a platoon role for whoever else the team has behind him. Finally, he ends the show with a silly season trade idea for Erik Karlsson. Do the Penguins have the assets to make a deal? How much fun would he and Letang be to watch? All of that, plus much more, is on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
