About this episode

Greg and Ryan discuss GM search updates and the implications of no-trade clauses in the NHL.

Greg and Ryan return with GM search updates on Brett Peterson and Jeff Kealty, plus a wild report that Chris Ilitch may have personally blocked a Steven Stamkos signing. Then, with Connor Hellebuyck's trade request making headlines alongside Dylan Larkin's, they break down how NHL no-trade clauses actually work — and pitch real fixes for how the next CBA could rework them.
