Bill and Rachel discuss whether Michkov has been put in the best position to succeed, the challenges of player development at the NHL level, and how Tocchet's coaching decisions and relationship with players can impact a franchise cornerstone.

Plus, we explore hypothetical trade packages involving Auston Matthews and discuss what it would take for a franchise player of his caliber to be moved in today’s NHL. Would any team be willing to pay the price? And what would a realistic blockbuster deal actually look like?
