Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Elliotte Friedman with more reaction to the Cutter Gauthier/Jamie Drysdale trade following the latter's debut with the Flyers. They discuss John Tortorella's comments describing Drysdale as a “rover”, as well as the coach's thoughts on the Kevin Hayes rumours and what changed for Gauthier regarding wanting to play in Philly. Later, Jeff and Elliotte weigh in on Corey Perry's eligibility to return to the NHL, Jesper Wallstedt’s NHL debut, the Wild’s outlook ahead of the trade deadline, and what we can expect for Buffalo and Ottawa moving forward. 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.
