Ian and Sean kick off the show by welcoming Aaron Portzline on to discuss the surprising news of Johnny Gaudreau signing to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday, including how it came to fruition, and the effect it could have on the psyche of Columbus fans. Ian and Sean then discuss if this could be the most shocking free agent signing of all time, and Sean shares his thoughts on the signing of Matt Murray in Toronto. Next, with the Senators' moves, could there be a Battle of Ontario again in the playoffs in the near future? Also, talking about the Blackhawks recent moves, and where the Flames will be in the next six months.
Then in the mailbag, a listener calls in with a potential landing spot for Nazem Kadri, and a look back at Pittsburgh trading Jaromir Jagr to the Capitals in "This Week in Hockey History".
