As the Penguins operate with an eye toward the future, the emergence of Ben Kindel, Sergei Murashov, and Harrison Brunicke, the future might be here sooner than expected. Patrick and Hunter are joined once again by a good friend of the show, Kelsey Surmacz of The Hockey News, to discuss the future of the Pittsburgh Penguins. While the team is transitioning to the next era of hockey, the sudden emergence of Ben Kindel, Sergei Murashov, and, to an extent, Harrison Brunicke, that next era might be here sooner rather than later. They begin with what’s going on with Brunicke, should he stay, can he go down to Wilkes-Barre, and what is best for the next phase of his development. (0:00) Then, Sergei Murashov made his NHL debut this past week. What exactly is his ceiling? Will he remain in Pittsburgh or head back to the AHL? They give their takes on that, as well as how much of a surprise Kindel has been this early in his career. (15:42) Finally, just because Kelsey is here, doesn’t mean we’re skipping Warrior Helmet Wednesday! They give their picks for MVP of the week! (30:16)

If his tenth games an ahl conditioning stint I'd assume that still counts as starting the contract?
I hope they turn things around. My son and I are heading to Pittsburgh (we live in Ontario, Canada 7+ hours away) for back to back games November 21st & November 22nd. I have been a Pens fan since 1989 (#66 Lemieux).
There are so many pieces in the organization, for the future Cup runs. McGroarty, Koivunen, Horcoff, Plante, Avery Hayes, Broz, Blomqvist…
Personally, I'd put Kindel back as the 3rd line center, mainly because of the fact that they were able to roll four lines, almost equally, when Ben was on the third line.
