What's going on with restricted free-agents Kieffer Bellows, Anatoly Golyshev, and Otto Koivula? UBS Arena's home opener is a sellout! Brendan Burke joins TNT on commentary! A number of big-name restricted free-agents, such as Quinn Hughes and Brady Tkachuk, have yet to sign contracts with their clubs. Tune in for all this and MORE in episode 76.
