He discusses his biggest surprise of the early season, and shares what current GM in the NHL young GMs have to be ALWAYS be aware of. He looks at the LA Kings and explains why the Phillip Danault trade made perfect sense for the Kings. Is he concerned about the Colorado Avalanche or the Vegas Golden Knights? He answers those questions, while also touching on the changes made in Chicago. The guys start the episode breaking down the Jack Eichel trade, wondering if Jared Bednar's seat is heating up in Colorado and marveling at Alex Ovechkin's early season production. They wrap up the episode (40:00) talking about the surprise teams in California, Troy Terry's excellent play, the Detroit Red Wings and Carey Price. Follow @TheRink on Twitter.
