Give me good reasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins to move on from the core...

Oh yes, we are talking about the Penguins core on this episode of Locked On Penguins. Hunter starts the show out by blasting the people who just want to make change for the sake of it (and there are a lot of those people out there). He defends the core and asks these people why they're using them as the scapegoats when they're not even close to the reason why the team hasn't won a playoff series in four years. He reviews those series and gives his input on why the team really lost while debunking some fan theories. He also begs that portion f the fanbase to come up with actual solutions to them leaving without just going onto NHL 22. After that, Hunter reviews Brian Dumoulin's season. Was it as bad as people made it out to be? What does he need to work on heading into next year? He then looks at what the Penguins could get in a trade for him and whether it's the right call to move on from him given his age and his cap hit. Finally, Hunter ends the show with the latest Penguins news as their front office shuffled a little bit on Tuesday.
