Well, the Pittsburgh Penguins have FINALLY made another front-office hire! Hunter starts the show with breaking news as the Penguins have hired Jason Spezza to be an assistant general manager. He will report directly to Kyle Dubas and Hunter is ALL for it. He looks at what this means for the future of the FO and what type of FO Dubas is looking for before getting to whether Jason Spezza will be groomed for the GM role or not. He even discusses whether Dubas will even hire a GM or if he will go with a bunch of assistants to fill out his FO. Also yes, we need to see Spezza and Sidney Crosby have a chat about what happened in 2010. After that, Hunter looks into the buyout window starting soon and which Penguins will be candidates. Will Dubas buy out Granlund? Could they somehow find a trade partner before then? What about Jeff Carter and his contract? Hunter also throws in a couple of other players who could be candidates for a buyout before wrapping up by congratulating the Vegas Golden Knights on winning the Stanley Cup, especially Phil Kessel :).
