The Penguins' front office has a big decision looming: should they hold onto two young prospects who still have junior eligibility or send them back? Hunter and Patrick begin the show talking about the rise of Benjamin Kindel, who was outstanding in Detroit on Monday. The question now is, what to do with him? While he may not be ready for full-time NHL action, does he deserve a nine-game tryout? (3:20). They discuss the pros and cons of each option before examining Filip Hallander (14:36) and determining whether he should be a lock for the roster. Finally, they discuss the Harrison Brunicke situation and whether he has shown enough to be in the NHL. (20:42).
