He shares his expectations for the team heading into the season, an update on Andrei Vasilevskiy after the netminder missed multiple practices, and the key pieces that will push them to the next level. Ken Daniels (28:55), voice of the Detroit Red Wings, dives into the team's options to round out the top line, how to best align their defensive pairings, Carter Mazur's potential role, and the message Todd McLellan is conveying to his roster. Later, Maple Leafs defenceman Chris Tanev (49:42) joins the program! He shares what he’s looking to accomplish during the preseason, what factors into his unique shot-blocking ability, how many stick of gum he goes through per game, and more! Next up, George Richards (01:11:18) of Florida Hockey Now checks the temperature in Florida surrounding the Panthers. He touches on Aleksander Barkov's injury sustained during today's practice and who will get an opportunity on the top line, before getting into the team's successful offseason re-signing their high-end talent.
