On a new Thursday show with Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe, the duo discuss if the Florida Panthers overpaid in their trade with the Montreal Canadiens for Ben Chiarot. Also, as Tomas Hertl signs an eight-year extension with San Jose Sharks, what is the long-term future for this team? Next, Ian asks if a Zdeno Chara to Toronto scenario would make any sense, and in game one of the playoffs, who would the Maple Leafs have starting in net?
Then, Jesse Granger stops by for a little "Granger Things" to discuss the Golden Knights recent woes. Is it possible they miss the postseason this year? And with the trade deadline days away, is there anything the team can do to help? In the mailbag, a listener asks if the NHL should adopt a "fouling out" system like in the NBA, Ian and Sean discuss best team fits for players based solely on their names, and they go back all the way to 1941 to wrap up with "This Week in Hockey History".
