Rachel Doerrie joins the show to discuss her time with the New Jersey Devils Hockey Ops, the Hurricanes buying low on Nino Niederreiter, the Oilers giving Mikko Koskinen a head-scratching extension, and what separates well run teams from their counterparts. We also talk about the pros and cons of video tracking coming to the NHL, and market inefficiencies still there to be exploited.

Sponsoring today’s show is SeatGeek, which is making it easier than ever before to buy and sell sports and concert tickets. They’re giving our listeners a $10 rebate off of their first purchase. All you have to do is download the free SeatGeek app and enter the promo code PDO to get started.

A reminder that we’re hosting a daily fantasy listener league contest over at FanDuel every Thursday this season. While you wait for the next opportunity to play to come around, go over to fanduel.com/PDO and tell them we’ve sent you. They’ll hook you up with a bonus $5 to play with after your first deposit, which will surely come in handy throughout the year. See you there!
