After a quiet career-best season, the hosts discuss why Rust’s value to the organization may be higher than ever and what his future role looks like as the Penguins navigate a new era. The guys also break down reports surrounding Dylan Larkin and the possibility of a trade request, examine whether two marquee free agents could be realistic fits in Pittsburgh this offseason, and share their thoughts on the NHL’s newly announced All-Star Game format -- Tune in!
