Hey everyone! Planning a #LetsGoPens Mailbox Monday for tomorrow. Go ahead and submit your questions for me. Let's talk pre-season, life, whatever ⬇️

Some lighthearted intermission reading for you about Marc-Andre Fleury's first practice back in Pittsburgh earlier Friday ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN #LetsGoPens thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Marc-Andre Fleury 🌸 had the chance to chat with young #LetsGoPens goaltenders Sergei Murashov and Filip Larsson during practice. I asked Fleury what was said and what advice he'd give them: "You better try hard because I'm coming to take your spot."

If #LetsGoPens training camp is proving one thing, it's that the organization may have more impact talent in the pipeline than folks think. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The goaltending battle at #LetsGoPens camp has been an interesting one. Sergei Murashov has emerged as a top prospect. Joel Blomqvist is in the mix, as is Arturs Silovs. But Filip Larsson came ready to compete, too. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"That pair, I think you saw a lot of good things on both sides of the puck." #LetsGoPens defensive prospects Owen Pickering and Harrison Brunicke have been glued on a pairing since the start of camp. Are they a glimpse at the future? @thehockeynews.bsky.social thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"That pair... I think you saw a lot of good things on both sides of the puck." Up to this point in the pre-season, #LetsGoPens have gotten a sneak peek at a potential key defensive pairing in the team's future. Read more ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

For #LetsGoPens forward prospect Avery Hayes, training camp has been a family affair. But he has a personal goal as well: to make Pittsburgh's roster out of camp. And he plans to do that simply by being himself. Read more: @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Three full days of #LetsGoPens training camp are already in the books, and the pre-season kicks off tonight in Montreal. Here are five observations from those first three days of practices ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"I feel like I'm ready to take that next step in my game." #LetsGoPens forward Philip Tomasino knows there is a lot of competition in camp this year, but he's focusing on himself and what he can do to help the Penguins win again. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

If one thing is for certain about this year's #LetsGoPens training camp, there is a huge emphasis on youth and development. More from Kyle Dubas's presser this morning ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The day is finally here: #LetsGoPens training camp is upon us! Here are six storylines to watch out for during camp this season ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

There is a lot of rhetoric out there about how long the #LetsGoPens rebuild is going to take. But there is ample evidence to suggest that the rebuild - which many assume will be long - isn't what many folks think it is. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

We're down to the final two on our #THN #LetsGoPens Top-20 Prospects list. And, honestly, the top-3 could've been in any order. But, we stick to the forward front at No. 2 - and it's a guy who should have your attention by now. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Next up in our #THN #LetsGoPens Top-20 Prospects series is a speedy forward with good two-way potential who - although promising - must work his way through an injury setback. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

"It doesn't look like the window is closing for him anytime soon." #LetsGoPens captain Sidney Crosby continues to inspire Canadian teammates ahead of the 2026 Olympic Games. And don't assume this is Crosby's last ride, either. @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The #LetsGoPens will have a lot of positional battles in training camp this season, and the one on the forward front is interesting. What could the Penguins' bottom-six look like this season? @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

The invitation to Team USA's Olympic Orientation Camp was well-deserved for #LetsGoPens forward Bryan Rust. And it shouldn't stop at an "invite." @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

It's no secret that the #LetsGoPens desperately need to improve their left side. If the price is right, could they consider young #FlyTogether blueliner Pavel Mintyukov? @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL #THN thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Although the #LetsGoPens are entering another transitional season, they still haven't made any major trades, and they may even be slightly improved on some of the margins. As it stands, are they actually lowly enough to truly tank? @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...

Yesterday, we continued our #THN #LetsGoPens Top-20 prospects list by spotlighting a defensive prospect who has developed a really solid two-way game ⬇️ @thehockeynews.bsky.social #NHL thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsbur...
