The guys are back to wrap up their best in the league lists. However, they actually have some NHL News to talk about. First off, they look at a pair of signings from the Blues. Locking down Marco Scandella and Sammy Blais to contracts. Alex and Chace give their thoughts on that and what it may mean for Alex Pietrangelo. Next, they look at Andrei Markov and his retirement to hockey, talking about what he meant to the game and what they will remember him for. Finally, the look at the Dustin Byfuglien contract termination. What it means for both sides and how it will affect both parties going forward.

After the NHL News, they switch to the top 10 goalies. They did the Top 20 Defencemen already, now they move to the position behind them. Alex and Chace discuss what went into their criteria for ranking goalies and try to decide how much one year means when ranking them. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

The Arsenal Transfercast features three football writers in Martin Hawkins, Zach Rayment and Chance Haire. The trio dissect and discuss all the latest rumors surrounding Arsenal FC.

This week's rumours include Axel Disasi, Layvin Kurzawa and Julian Draxler. Part two of the show features an in-depth discussion on when and how football will return as well as what the player's agreement to take a wage cut means for the long-term finances at the club.

The guys are back with another week of content! Last week, they looked at the top 20 NHL wingers. Now, they are back to look at the Top 20 NHL defencemen. This was the hardest list for both Alex and Chace to create. Mostly because there are so many different things that can go into evaluating a defenceman. Eye test, different statistics, and more. This is by far the most different their lists have been up to this point.

As always, they start with some honourable mentions. People who just missed the cut but very well could be here on next year's list. Next, they look at 20-15, where there are some similarities. Alex favours a certain type of player more than Chace does. However, as the list goes on, Alex has some players much lower than Chace has them ranked. 

The biggest question per usual is, how much of this season should be taken into account vs the past two seasons? Alex and Chace debate it and explain why they have some guys so much higher or so much lower. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!
