Can Ron Hextall get out of his passive ways and get stuff done for the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Tuesday is an action-packed episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast. Hunter goes all into Josh Yohe's story on what he's hearing about the Penguins heading into free agency and the draft and it's safe to say a lot of it is bad. He starts with the Evgeni Malkin rumors as more smoke is growing about how he won't be back with the team. Are Malkin's contract demands too high? Why is Hextall being stingy with him? That discussion then goes into another one about how Hextall may not be cut out for this job, considering how passive he was in Philadelphia. That won't fly here, especially if one or both of the core members of the team walk. He looks at how Hextall isn't too keen on spending money to replace either Malkin or Letang and why that would quickly backfire on him. Hunter also discusses the latest on Kris Letang and while it's more of a positive update, it's still not where it needs to be yet. Hunter also gets into the Pettersson vs Dumoulin debate and why the Penguins look to be taking the wrong side of it, plus gets to the latest on JT Miller and Vincent Trocheck. All that, plus much more on this episode of the Locked On Penguins podcast.
