Summary

Jarmo Kekäläinen is out as GM of the Columbus Blue Jackets. In this edition of the podcast, Jeff and Elliotte delve into the thought process behind John Davidson's decision and which candidates are leading the way to replace Jarmo. The guys then turn their attention to a testy night between the Devils and Kings that saw Jack Hughes go full heel à la Ric Flair. Also, could Morgan Rielly's appeal become the new norm across the NHL when players are suspended? Will the Flyers stand pat now that Rasmus Ristolainen's injury threatens to be long term? The answers to these questions and more plus a sit down interview with Canadian Folk legend Alan Doyle.
