Evgenii Dadonov trade is reversed, the lack of blockbuster trades at the deadline, and best Stanley Cup odds

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe discuss Sean's latest piece comparing rosters of teams built solely by number of times a player has been traded. And speaking of trades, of course the talk of the week centers around the Vegas Golden Knights failed trade of Evgenii Dadonov to the Anaheim Ducks. Is this the biggest clerical blunder in NHL history, and is it time for the league to have a universal no-trade clause? Also, they discuss the lack of blockbuster NHL player trades when compared to the NBA and NFL.

Then, Jesse Granger jumps on in "Granger Things" to continue the Dadonov conversation, and the trio discuss updated Stanley Cup odds following the trade deadline. Ian also asks Sean and Jesse if given the choice, would they pick the Cup winner to come from the Atlantic Division, or the field?

Then in the mailbag, a Red Wings fan wonders what approach the team could take in the offseason, Ian and Sean discuss favorite broadcast duos, and to wrap up, a look back with "This Week in Hockey History"
