Huge news forced a last-second pivot this week. We were all set to roll out a fun tier-list episode, but Friday night flipped the NHL on its head. We spend the entire episode breaking down the blockbuster trade that sends Quinn Hughes to Minnesota, unpacking what it means for the Wild, the Canucks, and the ripple effects across the league. We wrap things up by diving into the goaltending shakeup, as Tristan Jarry heads to Edmonton in exchange for Stuart Skinner, and debate the online discourse around the potential upgrade.

The Olympics are off to a rough start, and they haven't even begun. We open the episode by breaking down the rink-size blunder, with the ice surface reportedly nearly four feet too small, and why the NHL is now threatening to pull out altogether.

We wrap things up with a listener Q&A and some early thoughts on the developing NHL trade market.
