First, Ian and guest cohost Sean Gentille make Hailey feel great about celebrating her “birthday week” this week and then they discuss Matthew Tkachuk getting traded from the Calgary Flames to the Florida Panthers for Johnathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, a prospect, and a pick, the Huberdeau-Weegar media availability in Calgary this morning, Flames GM Brad Treliving turning a bad situation into a homerun, and more.
Then, shifting gears to a much more serious topic, the group talks about Hockey Canada releasing its “Action Plan to address systemic issues in hockey and ensure greater safety and inclusiveness in and around Canada's game” in the wake of two separate sexual assault investigations currently underway allegedly involving Canadian national team and national junior team players, respectively.
Plus, to close things out, Hailey and Sean discuss some of the Matthew Tkachuk trade proposals they received on Twitter before he was traded to the Panthers and they go over the most interesting points from The Athletic NHL’s early predictions for the 2022-23 season.
