Summary

Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman dig deeper into Kirill Kaprizov’s decision to turn down a record-setting contract with the Minnesota Wild and how the league is reacting. They also cover other key negotiations, including Mason McTavish and Luke Hughes, plus goaltending news with Ivan Fedotov’s trade and Spencer Knight’s extension in Chicago. Rookie showcases around the league get attention, with a spotlight on Montreal, and the Final Thought pays tribute to former NHLPA head Bob Goodenow. The episode closes with the Thoughtline, an update on Capitals assistant coach Mitch Love, and Elliotte’s report on the players in the Hockey Canada trial.
