Summary

Producer Matt kicks off the show with Elliotte Friedman to break down the busy morning in the NHL with big names being bought out. They break down Matt Duchene getting bought out moments before the show, how much interest these players will generate on cheaper contracts, and which players will be bought out as the day goes on. Then, Elliotte recaps the week-long festivities of the NHL Awards, the Draft, and free agency on the horizon, why he thinks this should be a consistent part of the NHL schedule and more. Finally, Elliotte ends the segment by teeing up free agency and breaking down some of his predictions on where free agents like Luke Schenn will end up. 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.

1:09.6	see them just do nothing. And that's part of the excitement here is to see where
1:17.1	teams end up finding themselves. Maybe we get the excitement of an offer sheet,

1:40.0	I can already hear people start to get giddy over the idea of all these potential moves, all of which are possible and everything is on the table here.
1:45.0	And now, I know that we have complained a lot about the salary cap.
