Former NHL head coach, GM and President Doug MacLean (2:22) returns with Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to weigh in on the Edmonton Oilers trading away Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Tristan Jarry in the main part of the deal, if the Oilers could've afforded to wait a bit longer and if one or both of Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid would've approved before the move. Then, Mac discusses why the Vancouver Canucks also can't afford to let their Quinn Hughes saga drag on through another season, and which teams in the West and East conferences he has written to make the playoffs. Later, Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice joins the guys (27:42) to chat about the difficulties of returning to the 'Cats' identity, how he's changed as a two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach, Brad Marchand's presence in the locker room stepping up with Aleksander Barkov out, navigating the Winter Olympic schedule, and the state of the Atlantic Division.
