About this episode
Sat and Bik discuss the implications of the Anaheim Ducks eliminating the Edmonton Oilers from the playoffs and explore potential trades involving star players.
Sat and Bik dive into the Anaheim Ducks knocking the Edmonton Oilers out of the playoffs and what this means for the future. They breakdown the Oilers' issues, exploring if the team's window for a Stanley Cup has closed and what this means for Connor McDavid. With a weaker free agent class, they question whether names like McDavid, Auston Matthews, and more could be a part of some big trades. They provide an update on the Canucks GM search, talking names, interviews, and process.
