Episode 0196: Libor Hajek in Europe, Nugent-Hopkins Needs a Deal, Humboldt Survivors Recuperating, Shortened NHL Season, Duclair Still Unsigned and More!

The Two Man Forecheck is pressing on in this week's episode.  The New York Rangers have a slew of defensemen vying for a spot next to Jacob Trouba.  One is Libor Hajek, a 22 year old currently playing in the Czech league.  Good for him and the team as he gets himself into game shape and put himself into a potential top pair spot.  Ryan Nugent-Hopkins needs a new deal.  His current contract expires at the end of this season and the Oilers need to figure out how to fit him in and give him a raise at the same time.  Tyler Smith survived the Humboldt Broncos crash two years ago.  He is now speaking out, letting men know that it is acceptable to talk about their mental health.  We wish him, the survivors and their families nothing but happiness and success in whatever they do! The deputy commissioner of the NHL has stated that there could be a shortened season this upcoming year, but is it financially viable to do so? Finally, Anthony Duclair has still not been signed by the Senators or any other team for that matter.  Could the Bruins bring him in?  There is a rumor that the B's should trade DeBrusk and Carlo to the Flames for Hanifin and Bennett.  Not a good trade but is there a possible starting point here?  All this and more so listen, comment and Enjoy the Show!
