Episode 0209: Sullivan Fired; Canucks Owner Supports Green & Benning; NHL at the Quarter Poll; Draft Lottery Changes Coming and More!

This week we hit the quarter poll of the NHL season.  With most teams around 14 games we delve into the standings and what that might mean for the remainder of the regular season.  We also identify some surprises uncovered along the way.  First, we talk about Sullivan being fired...that's Steve Sullivan, assistant GM for the Arizona Coyotes.  He has been let go but no other details were given and no replacement will be named.  The owner of the Vancouver Canucks has given the dreaded kiss of death to the head coach, Travis Green and GM Jim Benning after the team's recent struggles.  Should both of these men be looking for new employment soon? We break down the league as it hits the first turn for this season and finally we talk about and break down the issues with the draft lottery.  Pierre LeBrun has reported on The Athletic that the NHL could potentially be looking at changes to how it works.  And Mike enthralls us with his plan for the draft lottery and, in a really outside the box thought, suggests that teams could be allowed to trade ping pong balls. Definitely worth a listen this week and we would love to hear your suggestions as well!  Enjoy the show!
