As the NHL All-Star Weekend wraps up, it's time for The Hockey News Pre-Game Show with Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos:
- The Vancouver Canucks acquired Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo and two picks. How do Ryan and Michael feel about what both teams got?
- The Winnipeg Jets sent a first-round pick and a conditional third-rounder to the Montreal Canadiens for Sean Monahan. Did both teams win this trade?
- The Los Angeles Kings fired coach Todd McLellan and assigned Jim Hiller the interim coach role for the rest of the season. Is this what they need to stop the slump?
- The Olympics are back for NHLers in 2026, with the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025. Who will win them?
- THN Florida site editor David Dwork shares what it's like coming to Toronto from another market to cover the All-Star Game festivities. How did we feel about the new iteration of the All-Star Skills competition?
- THN women's hockey site contributor Curtis Martin joins the show to discuss the 3-on-3 PWHL showcase on All-Star Thursday and what's worked for the league in its first season.
- Ryan and Michael revisit their skills competition predictions. How many did they get right? What do they think of the all-star player draft?
