Hosts Matthew Zator and Kyle Knopp get together with Tampa Bay Lightning writer Jim Bay to preview the 2022-23 season. They discuss everything from the return of Vladislav Namestnikov to how they are going to handle life without Ondrej Palat, Ryan McDonogh and Jan Rutta. They also talk about the new additions of Ian Cole and Haydn Fleury on defence and whether Jon Cooper will try to get Andrei Vasilevskiy more rest this season.

They also discuss some of the big storylines going into the season and identify some potential breakout stars, players that need to bounce back, X-factors, trade bait, and much more.
