Who are the TOP 5 CURRENT Penguins?

Locked On NHL is putting together its Top 100 NHL Players going into 2025-26, so we're doing our Top 5 Penguins in 2025-26! Patrick and Hunter begin the show with the obvious: the number one Penguins going into 2025-26 is captain Sidney Crosby. They also discuss who rounds out the rest of the top five, including Evgeni Malkin, Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson, Rickard Rakell, or even Kris Letang. To close out the show, they take a look back at the career of Chad Ruhwedel, who announced his retirement earlier this week.
