Summary

Jeff chats with Ed Encina of the Tampa Bay Times about why the Lightning have earned the benefit of the doubt despite their recent struggles, Jon Cooper’s relationship with his team, and the decision to bench his star players against the Sabres. Sportsnet's David Amber look back on trade deadline day (or week), why some of the best trades are the ones that don’t grab all the headlines, and why this year is so important for the Winnipeg Jets (16:20). Alison Lukan of ROOT SPORTS discusses Seattle’s quiet trade deadline, if the team thought about moving Carson Soucy, and the reason why the Kraken have been so good on the road (50:00). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
