Then the real stuff: Minnesota is eating itself alive over Kirill Kaprizov's contract and an unsigned Quinn Hughes, and the guys think Bill Guerin should finally pay up for Vincent Trocheck, with Danila Yurov as the prize and Florida, Detroit, and even New Jersey lurking as suitors. They make the case again for trading up to second overall for Stenberg with Braden Schneider as the centerpiece, dig into why the Rangers swear Schneider is untouchable but have never once treated him that way, lay out Carson Carles as the fallback at five, and watch Caleb Malhotra slide to Vancouver.
