  • • What Are the Penguins Going to Look Like? Part II: The Defense and Goalies
    On Friday, I detailed what I thought our forward lines would look like if we entered the upcoming season with our current roster. Today, I’ll do the same with our defensemen and goalies. Hoo boy, what fun. Before I begin in earnest, I need to state my belief that Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas will make every effort to deal mercurial defenseman Erik Karlsson before the summer expires. His acquisition...2025
  • • What Are the Penguins Going to Look Like? Part I: the Forwards
    Earlier this month, I published an article titled, Penguins Five-Deep Depth Chart, listing our top five players at each position. I thought I’d expand on that a bit and delve into how I think new coach Dan Muse will deploy the troops at his disposal. Purely subjective, of course. With the proviso this could all be blown to smithereens if Kyle Dubas swings a trade or two, especially involving our t...2025

  • • Penguins Update: Where’s the BEEF?
    I was watching Steve Dangle’s hearty, thumbs-up evaluation of the Maple Leafs’ recent acquisition of power forward Dakota Joshua on YouTube the other day. As an aside, if you’ve never watched or followed Steve, I urge that you do so. He’s the ultimate fan, albeit of the Leafs. Passionate, loud, irreverent at times, yet intelligent and insightful as well. I particularly love his use of jump cuts, o...2025

  • • Kyle Dubas: Penguins Aren’t Trying to Tank. Should We Believe Him?
    There are lots of notions about where our Penguins are heading. Some see POHO/GM Kyle Dubas’ recent moves as a sign post pointing squarely to a teardown, or at least one on the sly. A thinly veiled attempt to position us for at least a reasonable shot at snagging Happy Valley phenom Gavin McKenna in the upcoming draft and Landon DuPont in the one after that. Others, including yours truly, aren’t 1...2025

Kyle Dubas injury and suspension

  • • Penguins Acquire Goalie Silovs from Canucks
    Just when I was rather blissfully settling into deep a summertime hockey slumber, Kyle Dubas had to go and pull off another trade. The Penguins’ POHO/GM acquired 24-year-old goalie Arturs Silovs from old friend Jimmy Rutherford’s Canucks for minor-league forward Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick in the 2027 Entry Draft. My initial reaction…surprise bordering on shock. Especially since P...2025
  • • Penguins Update: A Little Love for Mitch
    I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have any special insight into the pool of candidates Kyle Dubas might be considering for the Penguins’ coaching vacancy. However, one potential candidate intrigues me. Full credit goes to Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now for suggesting him in an article published the other day. For the past two seasons, Mitch Love has served as assistant coach for the Capit...2025
  • • Penguins Make Emergency Recalls
    In the wake of injuries to defenseman Ryan Shea (upper-body) and newly acquired forward Thomas Novak (lower-body), the Penguins have recalled a pair of veterans, forward Matt Nieto and defenseman Sebastian Aho (pictured), on an emergency basis. Shea is expected to be out week-to-week, while Novak is listed as day-to-day. Defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph (upper body) will be out longer term as well...2025

    I was exchanging texts with PP colleague Caleb DiNatale, which served to set off me off regarding one of my biggest Penguins peeves. Before I begin to ramble, please understand this by no means is intended to denigrate or demean the players I’m about to mention. Anyone who makes it to the NHL (or even the AHL or ECHL) are incredible athletes who are very good at what they do. Rather my rant is poi...2025

  • • Penguins Place Guentzel on IR
    The hits just keep on comin’ for our Penguins. The team announced today that it has placed star forward Jake Guentzel on injured reserve. Jake’s expected to miss three-to-four weeks with an undisclosed upper body. If Guentzel was placed on LTIR as seems to be the case (the Pens’ news release didn’t specify) he’ll be required to miss 10 games and 24 days. Needless to say, the news comes as a ...2024
  • • Penguins Make Minor Swap
    The Penguins made a minor trade today, sending defenseman Will Butcher to Minnesota for forward Maxim Cajkovic. Without knowing the details, it would appear GM Kyle Dubas was doing Butcher a solid by dealing him to a team that might have use for him. The Wild recently lost puck-moving defenseman Jared Spurgeon with a season-ending hip/back injury and traded another offensive-minded rearguard, form...2024

    Two days into free agency and with nine signings under our belt, it’s time to take a step back and see what Kyle Dubas has wrought. The Penguins sure are different.

The additions of monster forwards Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau should make us more difficult to handle, particularly in the high-traf...2025

    In the past, whenever the Penguins acquired an undersized player, I’ve generally been quick with a discordant chord or two. Not so in the wake of today’s signing of 26-year-old forward Rafaël Harvey-Pinard to a one-year, two-way deal worth $775K at the NHL level. All 5’9” 181-pounds of him.

    The Penguins made decisions on their pending UFAs and RFAs ahead of the start of free agency. With the exception of forward Vasily Ponomarev, who’s slated to play in the KHL this season, Kyle Dubas didn’t extend qualifying offers to any of our pending RFAs despite being in contact with the agents of Connor Dewar (pictured) and Philip Tomasino.

    As anticipated, the Penguins didn’t do a cannonball splash into the deep end of the free-agency pool yesterday. However, they did wade into the shallow end to make a handful of signings. In order of the announced signings, the first UFA to join the fold was 27-year-old defenseman Parker Wotherspoon. A left shot, the former Islander and Bruin has okay size, checking in at 6’1” 192. He’s regarded as...2025

    During a recent interview, Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas shared his plans to improve the team through good old-fashioned hockey trades while eschewing free agents.

As for potential trade targets, the Golden Knights’ Nicolas Hagu...2025

With nothing else in...2025
