Ryan Dixon and Rory Boylen co-host Tape to Tape, Sportsnet’s weekly NHL podcast and a one-stop shop for news, analysis, opinion, wild trade speculation and interviews covering news and entertainment around the league.
Want on-point analysis? We got it. Want trade scenarios of all kinds? We got it. Want insightful interviews with insiders, entertainers and players? We got that too. With these two putting their spin and giving their takes on the news each week, there’s no where else NHL fans need to go.
Today, Ryan and Rory get together to talk about the surprising day of trades that occurred on Wednesday. Is the Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones swap between Columbus and Nashville the most even, logical trade ever made?
Columbus Dispatch reporter Aaron Portzline calls in to discuss the trade from the Blue Jackets perspective. Was this deal made because of John Tortorella, or did it have more to do with management? What will Jones bring to the Jackets, how do the Predators get the most out of Johansen and where do the Jackets go from here? This was supposed to be a team that would at least contend for a playoff spot.
We also discuss the deal from Nashville’s perspective. Is this the move that finally puts the Predators over the top?
And that’s not all. The guys also touch on the Los Angeles-Philadelphia trade that sent Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn to the Kings. What does Lecavalier have left in the tank and what will Schenn’s role be with the team?
Finally, the guys touch on the Mike Richards signing and discuss where he fits into the Capitals roster.
