Nick Kypreos and Gord Stellick are joined by former NHLer and general manager Brian Lawton (8:33) to chat about an organization's approach to constructing a roster line by line, the use of analytics, Mikko Rantanen's future in Carolina, Seth Jones' frustrations in Chicago, if we'll see the Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser come together on a contract extension, and if it's the right time for the St. Louis Blues to look at offers for Jordan Binnington. Then, Nick, Gord and Sam McKee look at the Canucks' trade deadline plans after moving off from J.T. Miller and the different dynamics of the rising salary cap.
