Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert begin the show with analysis on the Dallas Stars acquiring and signing Mikko Rantanen from the Carolina Hurricanes. Then, Jennifer Botterill stops by to survey some of earlier trade action on NHL Trade Deadline Day in Canadian markets (3:50) including the Winnipeg Jets adding Brandon Tanev and Luke Schenn, Scott Laughton heading home to Toronto, the Ottawa Senators swapping Josh Norris for Dylan Cozens in a deal with the Buffalo Sabres, and Brady Tkachuk's emotional reaction to his teammate and good friend exiting Ottawa. Afterwards, the duo turns their attention to the Central Division to size up the Colorado Avalanche's new look offence, that now features Brock Nelson and Charlie Coyle, in comparison to Dallas' group. Sportsnet's Luke Fox checks in from Denver, Colorado to breakdown the Maple Leafs move for Laughton, what the Oakville, Ontario native will bring to the lineup and locker room, and whether Brad Treliving needs to turn his attention to the blueline.
