Flames, Torey Krug and Pierre-Luc Dubois headline the news as the NHL Draft week kicks off in Nashville

Ian Mendes, checking in from Nashville, and Julian McKenzie discuss the news about the Flames late last week and if they will shift to an aggressive rebuild. Then, as Torey Krug's no-trade clause holds up his trade from the Blues to the Flyers, they dive into NTCs and NMCs. Also, discussing the possibility of the Kings bringing Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles. As the Draft rolls into town, Ian predicts that the Predators could be a team to watch, and reasons for every team to be optimistic this time of year.

Ian and Julian discuss the future for John Gibson, if Erik Karlsson is on the move this week, and the wrap up, their closest races for the NHL Awards.
