In this episode, we break down the latest NHL trade rumors and storylines. Philip Danault has surfaced on the trade block, while Tristan Jarry is being linked to the Edmonton Oilers. The Penguins have made it clear that salary retention is off the table, meaning any deal would have to be a true hockey trade with money moving both ways. We also dive into the growing tension around the Olympics, as NHL players are threatening to skip if ice conditions aren’t up to standard. On top of that, we explore the blockbuster buzz surrounding Quinn Hughes and whether the Canucks could actually move their franchise defenseman to the New Jersey Devils. With the Devils skidding since Jack Hughes’ hand injury and the Dallas Stars riding a massive heater, there’s plenty to unpack across the league.
