In the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast’s 31 Beats series, Elan and Brian are on a league-wide odyssey to explore the fantasy present and future landscapes of each of the NHL’s 31 teams, gathering info by interviewing the people who know them best: beat writers!

In this episode Elan is joined by The Athletic’s Jesse Marshall to talk about the perennial cup-contending Pittsburgh Penguins. Topics discussed on this episode include:

How much longer can Crosby and Malkin keep being elite?
Who will center Guentzel next season?
Where did Bryan Rust come from?
Is Jason Zucker on the precipice of a career year?
Will another player pull a Rust and stick in the top 6 next season?
Why did Letang get bumped from PP1 before the pause?
Who’s next in line in the Penguins D after Letang?
Which goalie will start game 1 if the playoffs happen?
Will Murray be re-signed?
and more!
