Elliotte joins Producer Matt to start (as Jeff was facing some technical issues) and they touch on Pat Verbeek's press conference in Anaheim after being named GM of the Ducks, and some of the more interesting comments that came out of the availability (2:54). Jeff then joins Elliotte and the two discuss Hampus Lindholm's future in Anaheim, and the challenge facing Verbeek in deciding whether to let the defenceman leave in free agency (7:34). Next, they talk about what the Blackhawks' next move might be following Rocky Wirtz's outburst, whether it impacts the GM search and the team's deadline plans (13:49). To wrap, they look past All-Star weekend and chat about whether Andrew Copp is available, and what the Rangers, Panthers, and Kings might do ahead of the trade deadline (20:30).
