Former goaltender and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics Steve Valiquette (5:52) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to look at Sergei Bobrovsky's use of a poke check during opposing team's breakaways, his plan for the Maple Leafs' goaltending issues, why they need to lean on Anthony Stolarz moving forward, why it would benefit Bobrovsky to take a step back in his role, and how the New Jersey Devils' analytical decision to not let Connor Hellebuyck start against his former team in Winnipeg may have ramifications for the future of the game. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee discuss the recent NHL GM meetings including what kind of technology can help officials and the Philadelphia Flyers disputing Matvei Michkov's trade request.
