How to bring back blockbuster trades to the NHL, and sitting stars ahead of the trade deadline Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

Ian and Sean discuss ways to bring back blockbuster trades in the NHL, with apologies to Blockbuster Video. Also, with the Coyotes sitting Jakob Chychrun, and other teams following suit with their potential trade targets ahead of the deadline, shouldn't San Jose do the same with Tim Meier, and the Blackhawks with Patrick Kane? Next, another Stadium Series game is upon us this weekend, and the NHL will try something new next month with an animated broadcast.

Jesse Granger then joins the show for "Granger Things" to discuss teams to consider wagering on before the trade deadline, and the crew wraps up with Sean recalling creating a Twitter stir around the 2011 trade deadline, and a look back at the game's first radio broadcast in "This Week in Hockey History".

Don Waddell likes his Carolina Hurricanes, but hopes to add another piece to the puzzle Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

Don Waddell, the President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes joins Craig and Sean, 18 days ahead of the NHL trade deadline to discuss his plans to replace the injured Max Pacioretty, if he's willing to part with his first round pick, the Hurricanes overall performance this season and how much the franchise is looking forward to this weekend's stadium series vs the Washington Capitals at NC state. The guys respond to your comments and questions in our third segment, and ask the question, is it wise for General Managers to publicly speak before a trade deadline? Craig is all for it, Sean, isn't convinced.

Setting hockey a side for a few moments, Craig and Sean try to make sense of the senseless tragic shooting at Michigan State University that hits close to home for Craig.
