Rob, Jesse and Mike look at a busy week for NHL transactions including trades involving Taylor Hall, Pierre Luc Dubois, Tyler Toffoli and Alex Newhook, the extension for Jordan Staal, the award voting controversy, plus rumors involving Erik Karlsson and Connor Hellebuyck who are projected to be moved before the start of free agency.
