How will the NHL salary cap increase affect small market teams?
About this episode
Max and Mark are joined by Pierre Lebrun to discuss the NHL and Players Association announcement of significant salary cap increases over the next three seasons and how it affects every franchise in the league. They go over the four trades from the weekend involving the Canucks, Rangers, Penguins, Stars, Flyers, Sharks and Flames. Jesse Granger stops by to tell us why goalies are getting paid again, debates if Jonathan Quick is a Hall of Famer, and he forecasts the playoff odds for the red hot Detroit Red Wings.
