Hey guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Penguins. I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports news from the hockey team today. Welcome news, I might add, considering this program has done some

significant pushing to bring Connor Dewar back. Now, that's not exactly an outlier stance that I

took, but it did get done. Doer two years, an average annual value of $2.25 million, which, by the way, was the exact

figure that I cited earlier in the week.

This is your membership dollars at work.

I did think there was a chance that it would be three years, though.

So it's two years, and it's the exact same AAV.

Coincidence are not that Blake Lazott, his fourth line center, got earlier in the season.

Ilya Solovio was retained as well.

This is welcome news for me.

That's one of my dudes in there.

One year at $850,000.

I like, well, first off, I don't even, not even going to give credit for keeping doer. That just, that had to happen. That was a non-negotiable thing.

Kyle Dubas had no choice but to keep him.

Soloviov is different.

Solov, you have to look at him mostly through the lens that he's 25 years old,

and he has certain traits that can't be replicated.

He is a big guy.

He's a wide guy. He can be physical. He can do damage like that.

As I was saying on yesterday's program regarding Slovia, when somebody brought him up here,

what he needs more than anything else, and I'm going to tell you the same thing I told him in just a talk that we were having, he needs to find out who he is.

I can't know who that is.
