Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos look around the NHL in The Hockey News Pre-Game Show, presented by BetMGM and Northland Hockey.
On today's show:
- Elias Pettersson signs an eight-year contract extension with the Vancouver Canucks. Where will he rank among the NHL's highest-paid players, and were the Canucks really in advanced talks to trade the forward?
- The Dallas Stars got a big prize in trade deadline season by nabbing Chris Tanev from the Calgary Flames. What does this mean for their Stanley Cup chances?
- Did anyone expect Zach Hyman of the Edmonton Oilers and Sam Reinhart of the Florida Panthers to be on pace for 50 goals this season? Is Hyman one of the top UFA signings in recent memory?
- The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired right-handed defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin from the Anaheim Ducks. What's still to come for them?
- The Hockey News' Los Angeles Kings site editor Austin Stanovich joins the show to discuss the team that snapped its funked. What fuelled the turnaround, and what role has Quinton Byfield played in it? And will the Kings be active at the trade deadline?
- Ryan and Michael predict the destinations for some of the top potential names left on the trade block, including Noah Hanifin, Jake Guentzel, Jake Allen, Matt Dumba, Anthony Duclair, Juuse Saros, Jacob Markstrom and more.
- Are there any bright spots to this season for the Ottawa Senators?
And much more.
