Then, Emily Kaplan, ESPN Hockey Reporter, joins the guys (31:00) to chat about the defensemen market, Chris Drury's message to New York Rangers fans, if Bill Guerin will make a deal with his counterpart, and if the Florida Panthers will become sellers as they listen to calls for Sergei Bobrovsky.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin by reacting to the news that the Toronto Maple Leafs will be sitting Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton and Oliver Ekman-Larsson for roster-related reasons against the New Jersey Devils.

Later, Nick and Justin regroup with Sam McKee to discuss where Nazem Kadri might land, how interested teams will be in Elias Pettersson's upside, and how teams will navigate around the newly patched LTIR loophole.

Later, former Leafs GM Gord Stellick stops by (33:37) to discuss how the team should approach Friday's deadline, what he expects from them down the stretch, and Easton Cowan's usage this season.
