Co-hosts Dan Rosen and Shawn P. Roarke were joined by NHL.com columnist Nicholas J. Cotsonika for the entire 45-minute episode.
They talked about the Boston Bruins' goaltending situation with the report in The Athletic on Tuesday that said Tuukka Rask was going to announce his retirement in the coming days. The conversation turned to the Bruins' needs in other areas, particularly at defenseman.
Claude Giroux and where he could be playing after the deadline was discussed. The Philadelphia Flyers forward is in the last season of his contract and has a no-movement clause but could be willing to waive it to facilitate a trade to a Stanley Cup contender.
Where could Giroux go and what impact would he make were two areas discussed and debated by Rosen, Roarke and Cotsonika.
They also talked about Chicago Blackhawks goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and Dallas Stars goalie Braden Holtby, suggesting each could be a target for the Washington Capitals if they decide they want to upgrade or change from the tandem they have now in Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek.
The ramifications surrounding center Jack Eichel's pending inclusion in the Vegas Golden Knights lineup was discussed and the impact, or fallout of it debated.
