Summary

Elliotte Friedman joins host Matt Marchese to discuss how Bally Sports' financial issues could impact the NHL salary cap, the incentive for teams to make moves ahead of the trade deadline, and what's holding up certain teams. Next, the pair look ahead to what's next for Dylan Larkin, who else Detroit might be looking to move, and if the Bruins' veteran core can stay together for another season (11:00). Matt and Elliotte wrap things up chatting about potential landing spots for Timo Meier, if there's a chance the Sharks re-sign him, and the NHLPA's Executive Committees meeting (21:00). 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.
