Episode Details

Dan Kingerski talks Penguins locker room cleanout day, and the bombshell is Evgeni Malkin flatly admitting he'd play elsewhere if Kyle Dubas doesn't bring him back. Dan breaks down what Malkin's body language actually said, why Erik Karlsson was "tossing grenades" in the room, the case for and against re-signing Geno, and what Dubas's offseason should really look like — plus listener questions on the goaltending tandem, the ownership sale, and why a Matthews-to-Pittsburgh fantasy doesn't pencil out.
