JD opens the show with his thoughts on the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap from the weekend, before being joined by two-time Stanley Cup champion, Kris Versteeg. He weighs in on Connor McDavid’s comments on starting games earlier when the Leafs come to town, the differences between the Oilers and Leafs on defence and in goal, continued use of the five-forward power play, implications of the salary cap rising on Mitch Marner’s contract negotiations, and the fallout from the J.T. Miller trade (00:00). Then, JD touches on De’Aaron Fox heading to the Spurs’ and motivations behind player movement (46:17). Later, The Athletic’s Zach Harper joins the show to discuss the Mavericks’ trading Luka Doncic to the Lakers, how it affects the perception of player loyalty, the Mavs’ situation moving forward with Anthony Davis, what the Lakers should do with LeBron James, and how De’Aaron Fox will fit alongside Victor Wembanyama (49:56). Finally, JD and the producers take a look at “What We Missed” (1:28:03).
