The absolute best insider in the business, Chris Johnston, kicked off today's show, and his phone has been ringing off the hook. We immediately dive into the atomic bomb that dropped on Oil Country: the Darnell Nurse trade request. Why is this happening now?

CJ has all the answers. Plus, we get the absolute latest update on the Mike Babcock league investigation—and if that hiring completely goes south, who is the next man up on Edmonton's coaching radar?
