Summary

Jeff and Elliotte kick off the show discussing the already interesting “off-season” and how it compares to others prior, before chatting about the idea of people who are already employed that are checking in on Toronto's GM vacancy. Next, they look at what may have led to Kyle Dubas and the Leafs parting ways, why the Penguins’ opening has been put on hold for the time being, and the leading candidates for the job in Toronto. Jeff and Elliotte finish up by talking about Calgary's open general manager position and who might be hired to surround the new GM. 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.
