Pucks & Brews Episode 35: Big Trades Boutta Happen?

On this loaded episode of Pucks & Brews, Mike and Liam discuss Vitaly Kravtsov's trade request to the New York Rangers, discuss everything that led up to it, his potential as a player, whether or not he is a fit with this team, his potential trade value, players drafted around him, whether or not he should be playing, how this affects the team going into the trade deadline, and where he could potentially be traded to, Patrick Kane's reaction to the Vladimir Tarasenko trade, the looming Jakob Chychrun trade, whether or not Brandt Clarke will be included in the trade package, whether or not Karel Vejmelka could be involved in the trade and how he could help out the Kings goaltending situation, Erik Karlsson possibly being traded to the Edmonton Oilers, how he could make that team a legitimate contender, whether or not Oilers GM Ken Holland feels pressure to make a trade of that magnitude, Karlsson and McDavid potentially being on the same team together, and how a potential trade could work with the salary cap position in Edmonton, whether the Devils make a trade for Timo Meier after the Islanders traded for Bo Horvat and the Rangers traded for Vladimir Tarasenko, how that could completely change the trajectory of the Devils and make them a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, Vladimir Tarasenko's first two games as a New York Ranger and first impressions, Jaroslav Halak's turnaround from the beginning of the season, Rangers season turning point and exactly when it happened, and the funny story behind it from Mike's perspective, predicting which teams will finish in the Eastern Conference wild card spots and make the playoffs, and more. Enjoy!
