Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick it off by reacting to the Leafs aquiring Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty from the Chicago Blackhawks, what was given up, what they bring and how this changes the dynamic of the Eastern Conference. They also discuss Tampa's trade for Tanner Jeannot, if it was an overpay and how the Leafs' bottom six measures up against the Lightning after both their deals.

Kyper, Bourne and Sam react to the press conference, and have a conversation about building chemistry mid-season (1:09:50). Finally, winners and losers of the Timo Meier trade, trade talk around the league and Predators GM David Poile retiring with Barry Trotz taking over (1:23:14).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.
