He does. I fully believe he extended knowing the Penguins crashing like this was a possibility. All indications point toward him sussing out whether he'd be okay with that as being why it took so long for him to put pen to paper on a deal. Him signing an extension tells me he's prepared to ride this out until further along in his contract.

Do ANY of Crosby, Malkin, and Letang consider leaving Pitt. for a chance at a Cup run.
What team would be a choice destination for Crosby? Malkin? Letang?

Letang would be my guess, but like I've said before, don't think that contract is moveable with four years left regardless of the AAV. And I don't think Malkin is yet willing to consider life without Crosby. I won't discount a trade over the offseason for either Malkin or Letang, but I'm still finding it hard to imagine them getting dealt at this trade deadline.

Who's Fabio?

How good is Jack Hughes? Is he a top 10 player in the league? Top 5?

Josh Erickson

Last one as it's the top of the hour! But I certainly wouldn't have him there just yet. Still time for him to grow into it, but right now I'd say more like top 20-30.

Thanks for all the great questions today, folks!
