The New York Rangers are never far from the headlines in the hockey world, but that was especially true last Friday when GM Chris Drury penned an open letter announcing the team’s second “retool” in eight years, followed by the news that leading scorer Artemi Panarin will not continue to star on Broadway next season. On today’s show, The Athletic’s own Vince Mercogliano joins the guys to discuss the Rangers retool and potential trade destinations for the likes of Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, and Braden Schneider. Plus, The Athletic’s Jesse Granger helps break down the Vegas Golden Knights’ acquisition of Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames, Brandon Bussi’s impressive play for the Carolina Hurricanes, and the latest Vezina odds. And, to close things out, Max and Laz discuss Jonathan Toews’ return to the United Center Monday night when his Winnipeg Jets take on the Blackhawks in Chicago.
