Evander Kane gambling allegations, the Jack Eichel-Buffalo Sabres standoff intensifies, grading offseason moves with Dom Lusczyszyn, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and guest cohost Sean Gentille, filling in for Hailey, discuss the increasingly contentious Jack Eichel-Buffalo Sabres standoff after Eichel’s agents released a statement late last week detailing how “the process is not working” for a variety of reasons, including a disagreement over how to treat a herniated disc in the star player’s neck, the allegations levied against Evander Kane on social media by his wife that he bet on his own games and intentionally threw them, Marc-Andre Fleury’s decision to report to Chicago and play for the Blackhawks next season after being blindsided by a trade from the Golden Knights last week, and more.

Then, The Athletic’s own Dom Lusczyszyn joins the show to grade some of the biggest moves this offseason including Zach Werenski’s gigantic contract extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring a higher average annual value than Cale Makar’s deal with the Colorado Avalanche, the Seattle Kraken’s signings of Alex Wennberg and Jaden Schwartz, Barclay Goodrow’s six-year deal with the New York Rangers, the goaltending decisions of the Buffalo Sabres and Arizona Coyotes, and more.

Plus, Ian and Sean close things out with Multiple Choice Madness questions, including if the NHL should push to join the Summer Olympics, the most intriguing remaining free agent, Western Conference playoff bubble teams, and the best rivalry-inducing playoff matchups for next season.
