The NHL offseason is already in full swing, and Brenden Escott is joined by David Pagnotta from the Fourth Period to break down all the biggest headlines. We discuss the Edmonton Oilers officially hiring Mike Babcock as head coach and what his arrival means for a team with Stanley Cup expectations, along with the significant addition of associate coach D.J. Smith.

We dive into the blockbuster trade sending Brady Tkachuk to Florida, Ottawa's acquisition of William Eklund, Washington's move for Jordan Kyrou and Calgary's gamble on former second-overall pick Simon Nemec. Plus, why are so many teams making major moves before the NHL Draft? We examine the latest on Jason Robertson, Connor Hellebuyck, NHL expansion in Houston, and get a preview of the biggest storylines to watch during SiriusXM's NHL Draft coverage.
