What can the winless Preds teach us about free agency?
About this episode
On today’s Monday show, Max and Laz discuss what’s gone wrong with the 0-5 Predators to start the season after signing the trio of Stamkos, Marchessault, and Skjei on July 1 and what lessons can be learned about spending big on free agents. Plus, The Athletic’s own Jesse Granger joins the show to talk about the paradoxical impact of lower save percentages leading to higher premiums for elite goalies.
