NHL Insider Sean Shapiro joins Gavin Spittle to discuss many different topics. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is reportedly willing to be traded to one of three teams: Minnesota, Vegas, or Florida. Sean noted that while those three teams are being reported, there are other interested teams. There are rumors linking Joe Pavelski to a potential head coaching role with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Gavin and Sean reviewed reports linking Peter Laviolette to the LA Kings and discussed the rumors regarding Mike Babcock potentially joining the Edmonton Oilers. Gavin highlighted that Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas averaged a 2.4 rating, marking the most-watched Game 2 since the 2015 Blackhawks-Lightning series. Sean credited this viewership growth to the high-quality play on the ice. They also confirmed that the Plano City Council voted unanimously to approve the development of a new arena.
