We are less than 24 hours away from the start of NHL Free Agency and the Penguins are reportedly in on one of the biggest fish in the pond – Jason Robertson. Poni wants them to do everything they can in order to acquire his talents. Robertson is a 3X 40-goal scorer and is only 27. Due to Robertson being a restricted free agent, it could require the Penguins to send 4 1st round picks to the Stars if they make him an offer he agrees to (and the team doesn’t match). Poni noted that Robertson has turned down a few other teams already, but the Penguins are still in-play.
BREAKING: The Penguins have made a trade with the Golden Knights – acquiring Kaedan Korczak (D) for Parker Wotherspoon (D). / PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Should the Penguins go all-in for Jason Robertson? How many home runs can Esmerlyn Valdez hit as a rookie? Is Braxton Ashcraft a better pitcher than Paul Skenes right now?
Penguins reporter Dan Kingerski joined the show. Dan had a hard time understanding the D-for-D trade the Penguins just made sending Parker Wotherspoon to the Golden Knights. What will their third defense pairing look like? Dan believes Ryan Shea will get more money on the open market than what he will get from the Penguins. Dan isn’t in love with the Darnell Nurse idea, describing it as a project that will last at least 4 years. Dan questioned if a massive move like Jason Robertson makes sense for where the Penguins are at right now. He gives it about a 20% chance of happening. Dan pointed out a few names people should have their eyes on going into free agency tomorrow afternoon. He said they need to fortify the blueline.
