Summary

Jeff welcomes Jonathan Davis of Sportsnet 960 and NHL Network Radio to break down why Pierre-Luc Dubois joined the Kings and what we can expect to see from him as he returns to Winnipeg tonight. They also look into Los Angeles' goaltending situation, whether or not they are Cup contenders, if Quinton Byfield can ever be an everyday centre, the plan for Brandt Clarke, and more! Then, former NHL coach and GM Doug MacLean stops by to discuss his new book ‘Draft Day’ and retells some behind the scenes stories from his time working in the NHL and being on the draft floor (18:10). Later on, former New York Islanders defenceman and current studio analyst, Thomas Hickey weighs in on the Isles' surprisingly quiet offseason, what Pierre Engvall has brought to Long Island, the state of the power play, and more (50:56)! 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.
