    In this episode, we break down the latest NHL trade rumors and storylines. Philip Danault has surfaced on the trade block, while Tristan Jarry is being linked to the Edmonton Oilers.

On top of that, we explore the blockbuster buzz surrounding Quinn Hughes and whether the Canucks could actually move their franchise defenseman to the New Jersey Devils.
