Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee recap the trade deadline and share their thoughts on what was a quieter deadline day. They weigh in on Nazem Kadri's move back to Colorado, the Leafs' underwhelming deadline, and whether they're better set up to compete for a playoff spot in 2026-27. Then, they discuss the Islanders' swing for Brayden Schenn, Corey Perry's return to Tampa, the Canadiens standing pat, why the John Carlson trade might not be a slam dunk for Anaheim, and what it means for Alex Ovechkin's future in Washington. Later, NHL insider and Hockey Night in Canada's Elliotte Friedman (35:03) shares how this deadline compares to past years, why the Blues held on to some of their top assets, the fallout from Colton Parayko's decision to not waive his trade clause, and what other moves Brad Treliving may have been considering.
