Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports and Jesse Granger and Sara Civian from the Athletic welcome NHL agent Dan Milstein from the Gold Star Management group to discuss the effects the Russian invasion of the Ukraine is having on the Russian born players that he represents who play in the NHL.
The roundtable discusses the IIHF and the NHL's decision to suspend association and involvement with Russia due to the invasion of Ukraine, the backlash that Alexander Ovechkin has felt because of his support for Vladimir Putin and what that might do to the great 8's legacy.
We discuss the struggles of Jack Campbell in Toronto and what the Maple Leafs should do in net moving forward, Kyle Davidson being named the General Manager in Chicago and if the Martin St. Louis 'bump' in Montreal will hurt the Habs draft position and rebuild.
Plus, we tackle the NHL's puck and player tracking, with broadcasts adding "face-off win probability" graphics, and we ask Twitter, what is the next NHL stat that you want to see on your TV screen.
