Will the Penguins get what they acquired in Jeff Petry next season?

More GM smoke! Hunter continues to be blown away by all of the info that is now coming out about the GM search and that's where he starts today's episode! He discusses a few main points about what Elliotte Friedman talked about in the latest episode of 32 Thoughts, one of which is about John Chayka. Is he the favorite to get at least one of the positions in the front office? With the way Elliotte was talking about him, it seems fairly obvious that the Penguins are very much considering him for a role, whether it's for GM or President of Hockey Ops. He also looks at how the team is beginning Phase II and some of the names that Friedman dropped. Is Eric Tulsky still in it? What about Mathieu Darche? Hunter gives his thoughts on the rumored names who are getting in-person interviews before finally giving a prediction on what the front office will look like once the hires are done. After that, he reviews Jeff Petry's season and why he didn't live up to the expectations of a No. 2 right-shot defenseman. Is there hope that he can be a bit better next season? Should the Penguins consider trading him? Hunter dives into all of that before ending the show with some news surrounding Mike Vellucci and a feel-good story about Sidney Crosby.
