Summary

Jeff chats with The Athletic's Ian Mendes about the evolution of Tim Stutzle, the idea of the Senators being a buyer at the trade deadline, and where things stand with the potential sale of the team. Later on, Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now weighs in on David Krejci reaching the 1,000-game plateau, Jim Montgomery’s coaching philosophy, and what David Pastrnak’s next deal could look like (16:10). Next up, Sportsnet's Eric Engels discusses his piece on the Canadiens rebuilding their front office, the biggest challenge that the organization has had in this process, and the areas of changes so far (38:04). Giana Han of The Philadelphia Inquirer wraps things up with a look at Travis Sanheim's healthy scratch, Joel Farabee’s lack of playing time the night before, and the strong play of goalie Samuel Ersson (55:18). 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.
