The annual NHLPA Players Poll was released on Tuesday afternoon, and Sidney Crosby’s name is still brought up among the best in the game. Before Patrick jumps into the results of the players’ poll, we discuss the organization’s decision to send goaltender Sergei Murashov to the Wheeling Nailers ahead of the Kelly Cup Playoffs. He discusses why this decision might have been made and what it means moving forward. Then, it’s time for the results of the players’ poll. We talk about how Crosby still gets voted as one of, if not the best, players in the league, as well as some rule changes the players would like to see adopted from the PWHL. Finally, an underrated issue for the Penguins this offseason is the left side of the defense. Looking at the organizational depth chart, Kyle Dubas would be smart to make some improvements on the left.

Great 3 ideas to adopt for the NHL, unfortunately history has taught us the NHL are notoriously slow, inability to communicate and unable to get around the table until the last minute when it comes to decision-making; look at the last lockout!
Defence wise, with Karlsson and Letang on the roster, the 🐧 won’t be making the playoffs, nor with Jarry as the starter; Letangs concern is he’s showing his age
Let’s go pens 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🔥
I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
How about a "silly season" early edition? If you were the Rangers, would you bite on a deal involving Erik Karlsson (nothing retained) and the Rangers 2025 1st round pick FOR Alexis Lafreniere and Braden Schneider (and/or Zac Jones) and some young prospects? Or, if you're Dubas, do you go after a bunch of young'uns, like Cuylle, Parsinen, Perreault, and Othmann?
If you're the Rangers, who are you willing to give up to get your first back and take Karlsson?
If I am the penguins, I'm trading
blomquist or Larrson for a good young defenseman. THATS your bargaining chip
