Matt Marchese and Mike Futa drop the puck on this episode of The FAN Hockey Show alongside Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. They start by discussing the Maple Leafs' combination of Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner on the top line last night in Dallas and the idea of moving Marner to the centre spot, before diving into the frenzy of early trades around the NHL. Elliotte looks into what sparked the Rangers to ship Kappo Kaako to Seattle, why a fresh start might be beneficial for the player, and the positives and negatives of giving young players big contracts. The trio wrap up with a chat about Flyers and Red Wings' high-scoring battle, Thatcher Demko's lights-out showing in the Canucks' overtime loss, and what to make of Vancouver's season so far.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
