Summary

Jeff kicks off the show with Sportsnet’s Eric Engels as they break down all things Montreal Canadiens. They discuss the value of David Savard and Jake Allen and if Kent Hughes would be willing to move them both. Then, Jeff sheds some light on rumours emerging surrounding the Flyers and Sean Walker, Mitch Marner getting some looks on the blue line last night against Arizona and Erik Johnson expecting to be held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons. Later, former NHL goaltender and NHL Network Analyst Devan Dubnyk joins the show (16:25). They discuss the Stars bringing in Chris Tanev, the importance of shot-blocking defenders and what it’s like for goaltenders to adjust after being moved at the deadline. Then, former Leafs General Manager Gord Stellick joins the show (51:23) to discuss The Leafs bringing back Ilya Lyubushkin, Mitch Marner’s play on the blue line and what teams around the league could do.
