Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with former NHL player, agent and general manager, Brian Lawton! They discuss how often GM’s talk leading up to the trade deadline, which teams are committed to being sellers, who he thinks is the top team in the NHL, and his dark horse pick for the Stanley Cup. Then, Sportsnet's Sean Reynolds breaks down the Jets' current situation off the ice with attendance concerns, before teeing up tonight’s contest against the Blues with a focus on Laurent Brossoit’s play this year backing up Connor Hellebuyck (28:28). Later on, Thomas Drance, co-host of Canucks Talk on Sportsnet 960, weighs in on Elias Pettersson’s silence regarding his contract situation, if the Canucks are legitimate Stanley Cup candidates, and the team's plan heading into the trade deadline (01:00:50). 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.
