What Was & Wasn't Said At The GM Meetings

Frank is back from covering the NHL GM Meetings in Florida and today on the pod, he and Gregor kicked things off by recapping what the league decided to change within the game. That led to a big conversation about what the league’s General Managers didn’t discuss over the last few days and that sparked a big rant from Gregor about what’s wrong with the NHL’s playoff format.They also hit on the future of emergency goalies and the idea of making it easier for teams to carry a third goalie so we don’t get another ‘E-Bug’ situation. Frank outlined why this is an important issue and he explained a few potential solutions to the problem.The status of the Arizona Coyotes was also brought up. The league had a chance to come out and confirm that the Coyotes would be staying at Mullett Arena and they didn’t do that. Frank explained that point a little bit and explained the timeline that the Coyotes are currently facing.Frank and Jason also talked about the league’s vague comments about CTE in the days following Chris Simon’s passing.Tyler swung by with a fresh edition of Fill in the Blank where he got the guys take on Flyers Head Coach John Tortorella healthy scratching Captain Sean Couturier, the state of the Montreal Canadiens, and a potential first-round playoff matchup in the Western Conference.0:55 - GM Meetings recap & Gregor’s rant11:10 - The future of the E-Bug20:10 - Will the Coyotes stay?29:40 - Chris Simon’s passing43:40 - Fill in the Blank Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
