Recap the Stanley Cup playoffs. What do the Oilers need to improve to get over the hump and convince McDavid of signing long term. The Avs had busy regular season and flamed out, what are the plans going into the off-season. Will the Stars make a big plash and move Robertson? How do the Leafs approach the off-season knowing Marner is walking?

We are back after a small break, life happens and it's best to always take care of yourself first!

The discussion flips to what Landeskog returning could mean for the Avs in the future (this off-season) and whether Chris McFarland is the right person for the job.

On this episode we revisit the Carolina Hurricanes gamble on Mikko Rantanen and how the situation may affect teams making the big splashes in the future. As the NHL season enters its stretch run, the wildcard races are heating up. Every game is important now and we have a look at where teams currently sit. Ottawa looks legit and a young Montreal team controls their own destiny for a playoff spot, while the two New York teams and floundering Detroit and Columbus are all in the hunt. Out west the St. Louis Blues are the hottest team in the league and have overtaken Calgary and Vancouver for the second wildcard spot. Vancouver's turmoil's season has them in jeopardy of missing playoffs, while a surprising Calgary team control's their own fate with games in hand. The LA Kings and Edmonton Oilers are set to square up for a fourth season, and this just might be LA's year to "slay the dragon". Positive news on the injury front as Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog has been travelling and skating with the team for over a week. This hints at a possible return, as we break down what that might mean.

The trade deadline has passed and the arms race is over, as teams set their sights fully on the chase for the Stanley Cup! Five teams made big swings this deadline period, as the Dallas Stars landed the biggest piece in Mikko Rantanen, while Colorado revamped their centre depth to arguably be the best in the Western Conference. While in the East all eyes were on the Atlantic, as the Toronto Maple Leafs bring Scott Laughton in as their 3C and bolster the blue line with a surprise addition. The Florida Panthers broke the hearts of a division rival obtaining their captain, while the Tampa Bay Lightning feel they have the best mix of a top 9 forward group in the division. The biggest surprise move came between Ottawa and Buffalo, as the teams swapped young centermen, a move that Ottawa hopes puts them over the edge for the playoff race.
