The Penguins, as of now, will have back-to-back draft picks in the 2025 NHL Draft, officially getting the Rangers’ first-round pick. Hunter and Patrick begin the show discussing the latest on trade rumors surrounding Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell. The situation for the Penguins with these two forwards is unique as the Penguins hold most of the leverage, so when and should they trade them? Then, the New York Rangers made it official on Tuesday morning, announcing they have informed the Penguins and the league that they will give the Penguins the 12th overall pick in this year’s draft. Finally, they look at two more potential picks in defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson and forward Brady Martin.

We've made it to NHL Draft week, and the Penguins have a lot of decisions to make! Patrick and Hunter start the show giving you all the information you need to know about the 2025 NHL Draft, including when it will be live, where it will be, and how many picks the Penguins have as of Monday morning. They also discuss how this will be the first time the NHL holds a "decentralized" draft and whether or not that's a good idea. Then, it's time to dive deeper into Hunter's draft board, starting with center Jake O'Brien, who had a solid year and could be a piece in the Penguins' puzzle to get bigger and harder to play against. Finally, they bring up a polarizing prospect in Roger McQueen, a big center who is getting mixed reviews heading into this weekend's draft.

New Penguins head coach Dan Muse has his coaching staff for next season, and it’s mostly pretty good! Hunter and Patrick start the show breaking down the full coaching staff for the 2025-26 season, which officially includes Nick Bonino, Todd Nelson, Rich Clune, and retains goaltending coach Andy Chiodo. Speaking of Chiodo, they take the middle segment of the show to discuss whether or not the Penguins should have moved on from the goalie coach or if the team has just been a victim of poor goaltending and poor defense. Finally, it’s Fan Take Friday once again, and they take your questions and hot takes about everything from season predictions, draft positioning, and the length of the NHL season!
