April 15, 2019: Roster Building With Jason Farris

Whether you’re putting together an NHL team or a fantasy squad- or in Jason Farris’ case, writing a book- constructing a roster is a fascinating exercise. The author, former Dallas Stars Executive VP and self-described hockey nerd, joins Jeff and Elliotte to discuss the making of “It Takes 23 To Win” which details the building of 24 historical teams by a group that includes four Hockey Hall of Famers and 12 Stanley Cup winners.

The trio also discuss Farris’ first book, “Behind The Moves” considered by many in the hockey industry a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand how NHL GMs tick.
