NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Elliot Friedman said the other week that the Penguins have had serious talks with Jason Robertson, but nothing has happened yet. Sean thinks that it is possible that Robertson ends up getting traded, and that the most important thing to Jason Robertson is maximizing his contract. Sean also says that there are parts of Robertson’s game that teams don’t love, and are the reason why teams are hesitant to give Robertson 15 million dollars a season. Sean says the Penguins should also be hesitant on Elias Pettersson.
KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. NFL.com listed off three storylines for the Steelers going into the season, and number one was that a winning record isn’t guaranteed with Mike McCarthy. Bob disagrees, and thinks the Steelers will finish above .500.
