Cale Makar just signed a record-setting contract extension with the Colorado Avalanche worth $20.4 million AAV for eight seasons. Chris Micielli of Locked On Avalanche joins us to break down the impact of the deal, what it means for the Avalanche and on the NHL in general and whether it prevents the Avs from surrounding Makar with talent in the future. Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck has now gone public with his demand to be traded, so where does that leave the team? Harrison Lee of Locked On Winnipeg Jets discusses what the Jets can get in return for Hellebuyck and what the trade means for the future direction of the team. The Los Angeles Kings got some good news regarding injured forward Kevin Fiala who may be ahead of schedule in returning from his injury. Eddie Garcia of Locked On LA Kings joins us to discuss the impact of Fiala's return, who the next captain could be and the changes expected under new head coach Peter Laviollette.
