The Pittsburgh Penguins have been deemed the team to watch at the 2025 NHL Draft, so is a big move on the horizon? Hunter rounds out his 2025 NHL Draft endorsement list for the Penguins and begins the show discussing Arizona State’s Cullen Potter. He gives his scouting report on him before Pat chimes in with his thoughts. They then move to Ben Kindel, a very smart player with a lot of offensive upside. Finally, there have been more reports connecting the Penguins to moving up in the draft. Will this happen, or is this just a smokescreen?

I'm more excited for penguins hockey post Sullivan than i have been in a long time. I've been calling for his head for the past 4 seasons. Guy completely failed to adapt to his players and to the teams flaws
I don't think Cullen is gonna improve his game at Arizona – but i wholeheartedly disagree with Patrick. Potter did just as much if not a bit more than Hagens but with less.
if we trade up to #3 and Misa is there that would be crazy!!
The only way to move up is to give up rakell or rust IMHO. Martone or Hagan's might be worth it.
Neither the Rust or EK are being trade before July 1st.
I’d totally watch the draft with you guys! Don’t galaxy brain it just do it!
Solid coverage!
Would be helpful to the prospects, name, junior team, and stats as a graphic on the right side of your screen.
it would add some production value as well.
Overall solid work boys!!
Tell me this doesnt feel like Christmas Eve as a 5 year old
my picks would be
eklund or mcqueen and
aicheson or smith
If the Penguins aren't able to trade up, I wouldn't mind them trading the twelfth to move down in the first and getting Potter. Granted I am an ASU alumn so I am biased 😂
I am hoping we get two great players and build up farm system
Trade 11th and 2nd and 3rd maybe 2 to Utah for 4th overall, trade rust to Buffalo for the 9th overall maybe more.
Pick martone 4th, mrtka 9th and aichinson 12th. Solid 3 players! Dubas needs to be brave and trade up otherwise we will be slower with the rebuilt.
Hunter, LOTR nerds are some of the best hockey fans.😂
#hottake I don't know what it is but with the trades Dubas has been pulling off… I have some sneaky suspicion he's going to do everything in his power to keep 11 and 12 but move up to 4 with Rakell+… I know it sounds crazy because of the value but if there's something that Dubas is great at, it's asset management.
Only way they should trade up is if they can somehow keep the #11 or 12 pick along with next years 1st, AND one of the big 3 is still on the board in Schaefer, Misa, Haggens
Love watching Hunter – fellow Hokie (c/o 2016 here), Star Wars, and LOTR nerd! and, of course, Penguins fanatic!! Patrick keeps you in check though Hunter lol!
