Off The Draw

Trade deadline is HEATING UP! Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri sitting out their team's games expecting to be traded, good idea or not? Playoffs are coming closer, bubble or no bubble? How and what makes the most sense for a playoff structure?

What potential trades could we see happen at the deadline? Such a great time of year for hockey fans! Lots to go over on OTD!

Muzzin and Gray get down to it and review all things NHL. 2 superstars get $5K slaps on the wrist with MacKinnon's helmet toss and McDavid's flagrant elbow, highly entertaining for a small cost! Thatcher Demko scores a Freddie Andersen-type 5 year deal from the Canucks for $25M, good deal or kicking themselves for moving off Markstrom? The 3 year anniversary of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy in SK, the guys observe and then discuss the proposed memorial building going up in SK.

Muzzin and Gray look at the big stories from around the league. NHL quarantine gets shortened to 7 days from 14 days, which makes the NHL Trade Deadline more intriguing! The cost of Covid on developing players in the CHL versus the NCAA, does this change how players decide where to go in future? Ekblad's broken leg has him put for the next 12 weeks. The Battle of Florida has never been better, promising playoffs ahead! Muzzin says the Blackwood save was in fact a goal!! And Patty Marleau now 2nd all time for most games played.

The guys kick things off with one of the NHL's biggest disappointment and mysteries, what is going on in Buffalo!?! Another goalie nightmare in Philly. Why does this keep happening? And of course the hottest story I'm the last 2 weeks, the Tim Peel firing for the hot mic make up call in Nashville.

Mika Zabinejad - 3G and 3A in one against Flyers, a streaky guy streaking! The Leafs officially unofficially have a goalie controversy, Campbell and Andersen are battling it out! Draft lottery changes approved by Board of Goveners, Red Wings whining or good move for the league? Fun debate, players with 1000+ career points, not in HHOF, who should be in and who should be left out?

Gray and Muzzin dive into the Hurricanes and how well they are cruising around the league, they are looking playoff ready. Mid-season award winners are discussed, Marc Andre Fleury, sorry, Marc Andre Vezina! McDavid for the Hart, obviously, but who else wins what? Do weike Jordan Binnington for 6 years at $6M per? All that on more on OTD!

Muzzin and Gray kick things off with a cool moment from the weekend with Joey D'Accord making his debut for the Sens and tool home a big 1st career victory. Ovi ties Phil Esposito with 717 career goals and looks to be getting on a roll. Will it be Smith or Kiprizov for the Calder as the leagues best rookie? What is going on in Buffalo? Almost a dozen losses in a row! Lots to get to on OTD!
