The Penguins will officially not have a first-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft

Locked On Penguins - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins will officially not have a first-round pick after the Carolina Hurricanes lost to the New York Rangers on Thursday night and that's where Hunter starts Friday's episode. It's just Hunter since Pat is away but the show must go on. He discusses how it's not that big of a deal that the Penguins didn't get a first-round pick and details how the rest of the Jake Guentzel trade has panned out so far. He discusses how he's fully warmed up to it and how this year's draft isn't as good as next year's. He also details how the Penguins still have two top-50 picks for this year's draft and could still recoup more with some moves at the draft. After that, he discusses an RFA that the Penguins should go after this offseason. Yes, he's on the Carolina Hurricanes but he makes a lot of sense with speed, skill, and youth, which is what this team needs. Finally, Hunter gives his thoughts on the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the second round is winding down.
