In Episode 8, Jeff and Elliotte recap the NHL trade deadline, discuss a fan base out west with an “Us vs. Everybody” mentality and Roberto Luongo’s pre-game speech about the mass-shooting at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School. They are also joined by former NHLer and current player-agent Jeff Jackson, who tells the story of discovering Connor McDavid and describes what he would change about the CBA.
Here’s how the conversation unfolded:
• Canucks fans have an edge and an ‘us vs. everybody’ mentality (start)
• Jeff buried Harold Ballard (10:00)
• Wrapping up the NHL trade deadline (12:00)
• Paul Stastny move to Winnipeg came as a surprise (12:20)
• What the Habs wanted for Max Pacioretty (14:45)
• Erik Karlsson is still in Ottawa. But were there offers/asks? (17:57)
• Chicago’s deadline — and could you see them moving Jonathan Toews or Patrick Kane sooner rather than later? (22:59)
• Patrice Bergeron is hurt. If he’s out for the season, who takes the Hart? (25:43)
• Jeff Jackson, former NHLer and current player-agent, joins the show (30:11)
• How creative an agent can really get to maximize the value of his or her clients (1:04:30)
• Roberto Luongo pre-game speech in Florida and hockey player activists (1:09:45)
• Colorado broadcast interviewing Joe Sakic during the game and the idea of introducing a secondary stream. Could we see more of this in hockey? (1:20:00)
• #Ask31: Are Edmonton fans expecting too much of Lucic, home teams wearing white, what’s the colour scheme for Seattle if they were to get a team? (1:23:50)
• Trade deadline vs. tweak deadline. Draft day is another trade deadline day. (1:26:30)
