Summary

Jeff talks with Sabres play-by-play voice Dan Dunleavy about the vibes in Buffalo, if we might see GM Kevyn Adams stray away from his plan, and how the goalie situation could play out for the rest of the season. Producer Matt Marchese checks in with today's "Random Player of the Day" – Craig Janney (17:46)! The Athletic's Shayna Goldman weighs in with her standouts from around the league, why Matt Boldy’s freshly minted contract already looks good, and which teams would be good fits for Timo Meier (27:13). We wrap up with Sportsnet's Louie DeBrusk, who looks back on his time playing Junior B in Stratford, how his father helped with his game growing up, and the greatness of Leon Draisaitl (50:49). 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.
