HOUR 1 - Willis price coming down, Calls, Sean Gentille
from The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller
One of the potential free agent signings may have his price coming down, which should have the Steelers interested. That player is Malik Willis. The QB was first rumored to be looking at $40M/year on the open market, but the latest from ESPN projected Willis at more of a 20-25 million dollar per year player, which changes the calculus a bit. That number would have him as the 20th highest-paid QB in football. Would you do that deal? Would you pay Malik Willlis $25M/year? NHL writer Sean Gentille from The Athletic joined the show. Sean said he would do nothing at the trade deadline if he was Kyle Dubas running the Penguins. He said they can act like they are a good team, but not a Stanley Cup contender. Sean anticipated the Penguins being a bad hockey team and they have been anything but. Why isn’t Dan Muse the leader for the Jack Adams award for best coach? Sean thinks the Penguins can do something small like adding a right-handed defenseman to the fold. Sean said a big part of the Penguins success is a lot of the unknown, lottery ticket types, hitting across the board whether it be draft picks or free agent pickups. Sean expected guys like Anthony Mantha to be on the move at this point as the trade deadline approaches. Sean described the goaltending as ‘incredible’ from Arturs Silovs and Stuart Skinner. Sean wants to pump the brakes on Sergei Murashov and let the current guys do their thing in the NHL. He said the potential is there and the excitement is there, but we have to slow our roll thinking he will be a slam-dunk everyday goalie. Sean thinks the Penguins should be open for business in the offseason with Evgeni Malkin because he is still a productive player, but he understands the ‘wait & see’ method. How good has Egor Chinakhov been in Pittsburgh?
