The Penguins surprisingly inked defenseman Juuso Riikola to a two-year deal last weekend and Hunter is back on Locked On Penguins this week to talk all about that deal and what could come next. Can he finally play in the lineup full-time for Jack Johnson? What happens now with the very, very crowded blue-line that the Penguins have? These are all questions Hunter tries to answer, plus what did GMJR likely promise RIikola in their negotiations? Hunter gets into that, plus the Kris Letang article that came out yesterday on The Athletic. Hunter talks about how it would make no sense to trade Letang right after they made the Penguins made their move to get Kasperi Kapanen, plus has a message for all of the people who still under-appreciate Kris Letang in the Penguins fanbase. All that, plus more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
