Jeff and Elliotte discuss the promotion of Rockford head coach Derek King (2:10), the level of freedom interim GM Kyle Davidson has within the organization, and if this is a lost season for the Blackhawks. They also touch on Jack Eichel’s arrival in Las Vegas (17:00), Ottawa recalling Erik Brannstrom from Belleville (17:45), the Maple Leafs finding their groove (25:00), St. Louis requesting (and being denied) COVID-19 cap relief, and the guys go through some listener emails.
