WATCH: Will Penguins' offseason acquisitions push the team past the 1st round of the playoffs?

On their weekly hockey show, Post-Gazette Penguins insiders Matt Vensel and Andrew Destin preview the Penguins season. Do Sidney Crosby and Co. have one last run at the Stanley Cup in them? Or will this be another disappointing early exit — or even worse, missing the playoffs entirely? Who will make the roster and who will be on the outside looking in? Plus, they make some predictions for the NHL at large, including the Vezina and Calder trophies.
