Episode 0218: Extended NHL Season; Best UFA and RFA Available; Grades For All Teams at Deadline; Milestones; Leighton Accardo Honored and More!

We are about one week past the NHL Trade Deadline and the end is on the horizon...or is it?  We start with some frank discussion about the NHL extending the regular season to May 19th to accommodate all games that have been missed so that all teams can play 56.  J.T. Miller for one doesn't believe what the NHL is doing is fair to the Canucks.  We start to look ahead at the best UFA and RFA available at the end of the season, Dougie Hamilton and Kevin Fiala respectively.  Even though its tough to see either moving, we talk about where they could end up and other possible free agents at the end of the season.  An article on ESPN+ by Emily Kaplan and Greg Wyshynski give grades to all 31 teams post trade deadline.  We both believe that the grades are slightly off and possibly should be incompletes due to the limited number of deals and their outcomes still up in the air.  We hand out some congratulations to Milan Lucic (1000 games), Patrick Marleau (tying Gordie Howe for most games played) and Tuukka Rask (300 wins).  Finally, we talk about the actions of the Arizona Coyotes last night honoring Leighton Accardo by putting her name and number in the ring of honor next to Jeremy Roenick and the impact that actions like this have on the fan base now and in the future.  An enjoyable show to be sure, so give it a listen and tell us what you think.  Enjoy the Show!!
